Welcome to Rujans.com!

When you plan a trip to Nepal—whether it’s an epic high-altitude trek, a photo journey, or a cultural city tour—you are sharing your travel dreams and personal details with me. I value your trust above everything else, and protecting your personal information is just as important as keeping you safe on the trail.

Here is a simple, straightforward look at how your information is handled—written in plain language, with zero confusing legalese!

1. What Information Is Collected & Why

To help plan your journey smoothly, certain details are collected when you reach out or book a trip through the website:

• Your Name & Contact Details (Email, Phone/WhatsApp): Used strictly to reply to your inquiries, send trip itineraries, and stay in touch before and during your trek.
• Travel & Trekking Preferences: Group size, preferred dates, fitness levels, or special requests (like photography focus or gear rental needs) to help tailor the perfect itinerary for you.
• Permit & Official Documentation Details: For high-altitude treks or national park entries, local authorities in Nepal require copies of your passport and passport-size photos. These are used only to secure official trekking permits (like TIMS and conservation area permits) on your behalf.
• Basic Website Analytics: Like most websites, non-personal data (such as browser type or pages visited) is automatically collected to help improve website performance and user experience.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Your information is used strictly to make your adventure seamless, safe, and memorable. It is used to:

• Answer your questions and customize your trek/tour packages.
• Arrange necessary trekking permits, transport, and lodge accommodations.
• Coordinate with you before arrival and keep you updated on trip details or weather adjustments.

3. Keeping Your Data Private & Safe

• No Selling or Sharing for Marketing: Your personal information will never be sold, rented, or shared with third-party advertisers.
• Who Sees Your Details? Your details are shared only with official entities directly involved in your trip—such as government permit offices, local lodge bookings, or flight/transport providers in Nepal.
• Data Security: Reasonable electronic and physical safeguards are maintained to keep your contact details and documents secure.

4. Photos & Media Rights

As a passionate travel photographer and filmmaker, photos or videos from trips are occasionally shared on the website or social media to showcase the beauty of Nepal.

• Your comfort and privacy are important. If you prefer not to appear in any photos or videos posted online, simply let me know before or during the trip, and your request will always be respected!

5. Cookies

Rujans.com uses basic, standard cookies to help the website load faster and function smoothly. You can easily disable or clear cookies in your browser settings anytime without affecting your ability to browse the site.

6. External Links

This website may occasionally link to helpful external travel resources (such as weather forecasts or gear recommendation sites). Please note that those external websites have their own privacy practices, which are outside the control of Rujans.com.

7. You Are Always in Control

You have total control over your personal data. At any point, you can request to:

• View the personal information held about you.
• Update or correct your details.
• Request the complete deletion of your contact details or passport copies once your trip and permits are completed.
