Privacy Policy

We collect information you choose to submit through this website, including:

• Contact form details, such as your name, email address, subject and message.
• List Your Property submissions, such as property name, description, location, amenities, website or social links, contact person details, phone or WhatsApp numbers, and photos you upload.
• Property listing review submissions sent through a secure claim link, including corrections to draft listing details, contact details provided by a property representative, uploaded property photos, and records that a representative confirmed their authority and image permission.
• Property contact information that owners or managers provide so travelers can reach them.

We do not currently operate traveler accounts, and we do not use advertising tools on this website. We record limited first-party property engagement events, such as a property page view or a click to a property website, so we can understand which listings travelers open.

We use the information we collect to:

• respond to inquiries sent through the Contact page;
• review property submissions;
• invite property representatives to review a draft listing;
• review owner-submitted listing corrections, contact details, photos, and consent records;
• manage and display property listings;
• maintain and improve the website; and
• help prevent misuse and protect the security of the site.

We do not use submitted information to process reservations or payments, because BeachHutsInGoa.com does not provide those services.

Information submitted for a property listing may become publicly visible once the listing is approved. That can include property name, description, photos, location, amenities, website, and public contact methods such as phone, WhatsApp, email, maps links or Instagram.

The contact person name on a listing submission is used to review the listing and to communicate with you. Phone, WhatsApp, email, website and similar property contact methods you submit may appear on the public listing after review.

Owners and managers should submit only information they are authorized to publish. Do not include private documents, payment details, or personal data that should not appear on a public listing.

Opening a listing-review link does not publish a property or mark it as confirmed. We keep authorization and image-consent records so we can review submitted content. Those records are operational evidence, not a public certificate.

BeachHutsInGoa.com does not process reservations or payments. When you visit or contact a property, your interaction with that property or its booking provider is governed by their own privacy practices.

Listings and pages may link to property websites, WhatsApp, Google Maps, Instagram, booking providers and other external services. Those services have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or apps we do not operate.

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics cookies. We may use cookies or similar technologies that are needed for the website to function, including keeping an administrator signed in to the site’s private management area.

The public website may set first-party cookies named bhig_vid and bhig_sid. These store random identifiers used only to count property views and outbound clicks without recording the same visit repeatedly. They are not used to identify you by name, and we do not store a raw IP address solely for this counter.

We retain inquiry and listing-submission information for as long as it is needed to respond, review listings, operate the website, and address legitimate operational or security needs. When information is no longer needed for those purposes, we delete or stop using it. We do not currently publish fixed retention periods.

If you submitted information through Contact, List Your Property, or a property listing review link and would like us to review, update or remove it, please use the Contact page. We may need to keep some information where we have a legitimate operational reason to do so, such as an existing public listing or a record of a previous inquiry.

BeachHutsInGoa.com is a general travel discovery website and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will review the request.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the website after an update means the revised policy applies to that use.
