Who we are
Indiaesque ("we") is a boutique-stays club and trip-planning service for India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Contact for anything on this page: message us on WhatsApp via the site, or email privacy@indiaesque.com.
What we collect, and why
Club members: your WhatsApp number (to run your membership and send the weekly stay) and your answers to three joining questions (so what we send suits you). Enquiries and trip briefs: your name, contact details, travel dates, party size, budget band and message, because that's the trip you asked us to help with. Lead forms on Facebook/Instagram: the details you submit there (typically name, email, phone) reach us through Meta and are treated the same as an enquiry made here. We also note the approximate city your connection reports (never precise location); it helps us route your enquiry to the right person.
How it's protected
Member phone numbers and survey answers are stored encrypted; staff see masked numbers except where replying to you requires the real one. We don't run advertising trackers on this site, and we never sell marketing lists.
When we share
One case, and it's the point of the service: when you ask for a tailormade trip, we pass your brief and contact details to a trusted local operator so they can plan it with you directly. We only introduce operators we vouch for. Beyond that: our infrastructure providers (Cloudflare hosting, Meta's WhatsApp service for messages) process data to run the service. We also use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Plausible) and the Meta pixel, which helps us measure our advertising and may set cookies from Meta; you can block it with any standard content blocker without affecting the site.
Your choices
Reply STOP on WhatsApp any time and membership messages end instantly. Ask us to delete your data and we will, fully. Nothing here requires an account or a password.
Cookies
Only functional ones: a session cookie if you're a member (so rates unlock) and one for admins. No third-party advertising cookies.
