1. Who We Are
T-IDEAS is a tourism development organisation focused on helping destinations, businesses, investors, institutions and stakeholders convert tourism potential into appropriate, viable and meaningful opportunities.
In this Policy, “T-IDEAS”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the organisation responsible for operating this website and determining the purposes for which information submitted through it is used.
This website is intended to provide information about T-IDEAS, its work, initiatives, perspectives and services, and to enable visitors to contact us regarding potential assignments, collaborations and other relevant enquiries.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information that you choose to provide through the website, particularly when you submit an enquiry. Depending on the information you provide, this may include:
- Identity and professional details: name, organisation or company, and designation or role.
- Contact details: email address, mobile number, preferred contact method, country, state or region, and city.
- Opportunity and project information: the type and stage of an opportunity, its location, description, scale, indicative investment range, support required and expected timeframe.
- Consent and submission records: the Privacy Policy version acknowledged, the date and time of consent, and the IP address associated with that consent where it is available to the application.
You are not required to provide optional location or project details. However, information marked as required in the enquiry form is needed for us to receive and assess that enquiry.
We may also receive limited technical information through normal website and hosting operations, such as IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps and server error records. The exact information retained in server logs depends on the hosting and server configuration.
Please do not submit confidential or commercially sensitive material through the general enquiry form. If an assignment requires the exchange of confidential information, the appropriate arrangements should be agreed separately before such information is shared.
3. How We Use Information
Information submitted through the website may be used for the following purposes:
- To receive, understand, assess and respond to your enquiry.
- To contact you using the method you select or the contact details you provide.
- To understand the nature, stage, location and broad requirements of a tourism opportunity or proposed engagement.
- To maintain enquiry records, prevent duplicate or abusive submissions, and manage follow-up.
- To maintain website operation, diagnose technical issues and protect the website against misuse.
- To meet applicable legal, regulatory or record-keeping requirements.
We do not use the enquiry form as an automatic subscription to marketing communications. Submitting an enquiry means that T-IDEAS may contact you in relation to that enquiry; it does not by itself sign you up for unrelated promotional messages.
4. Consent and Other Applicable Grounds
When you submit the enquiry form, you are asked to acknowledge this Privacy Policy and agree to be contacted about the enquiry. The application records the policy version and consent timestamp and may record the IP address associated with that acknowledgement.
We use the information for the purposes explained in this Policy and may also process or retain information where necessary to take steps at your request, manage a potential or actual professional engagement, comply with applicable law, or protect legitimate operational and security interests, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Where consent is the applicable basis for processing, you may withdraw it by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out before the withdrawal, and it may not require us to erase information that we are permitted or required to retain for another lawful purpose.
We intend this Policy to be read alongside applicable Indian data protection and information technology laws, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the rules and provisions that are in force and applicable from time to time. The commencement of provisions under that framework is phased; this Policy does not represent that every provision is already in force as of its update date.
6. External Services Used by the Website
The enquiry form currently uses the CountriesNow service to populate country and state or region selection lists. When the relevant dropdown is used, the visitor’s browser communicates directly with that external service. A selected country name may be sent when the state or region list is requested. The external service may receive technical connection information, such as the visitor’s IP address, as part of that request.
This service is not operated by T-IDEAS. Its handling of information is governed by its own terms and privacy practices. The country and state or region fields are optional, and you may leave them blank if the lists do not load or you do not wish to provide that information.
We may use other external service providers in the future where needed to operate or improve the website. If we introduce services that materially change the information collected or how it is used, we will update this Policy and, where required, provide an appropriate notice or choice.
8. Data Retention and Security
We retain enquiry information for as long as it is reasonably necessary to respond to and manage the enquiry, maintain relevant business records, consider or administer a professional engagement, resolve disputes, protect our operations, or meet legal and regulatory requirements. Retention periods may differ depending on the nature of the enquiry and whether it leads to a business relationship.
We aim to retain only information that is reasonably relevant to these purposes and to delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of information when it is no longer required, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate record-keeping needs.
We use technical and organisational measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse. The current enquiry implementation includes measures such as server-side validation, session-based form protections, submission controls and database queries using prepared statements. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Where a personal data breach occurs, we will take the steps required by applicable law and the rules in force at the relevant time.
9. Your Choices and Requests
You may contact us to ask about personal information you have submitted through this website, request correction of inaccurate details, seek deletion where appropriate, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, or raise a concern about how your information is handled.
We may need to verify your identity and understand the scope of your request before acting on it. We will consider and respond to requests in accordance with applicable law. Some information may need to be retained where required by law or where another permitted ground applies.
If you no longer wish to be contacted about a particular enquiry, tell us using the contact route below. We will stop enquiry-related follow-up where appropriate, while retaining any records that we are legally or otherwise permitted to keep.
10. Children’s Information
This website and its enquiry form are intended for use by adults acting in a professional, organisational or personal capacity in relation to tourism opportunities and services. The website is not designed to solicit personal information from children.
Please do not submit a child’s personal information through the website unless you are legally authorised to do so and the submission is necessary for a clearly identified purpose. If you believe a child’s personal information has been submitted to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter.
11. Links to Other Websites
This website may contain links to external websites, platforms, publications or resources. These are provided for information or convenience. T-IDEAS does not control the privacy practices or content of those external websites, and this Policy does not apply to them. Please review the privacy policy of any external website you visit.
12. Changes to This Policy and Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, our information practices or applicable legal requirements change. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. If a change materially affects how information is handled, we will provide any additional notice or choice required by applicable law.
For privacy-related questions, requests or concerns, please contact T-IDEAS through the website Contact page and clearly mention “Privacy Request” in your message. Please do not include passwords, identity documents or other sensitive information unless we specifically request information that is necessary to verify a request through an appropriate channel.
