Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Dev Yatra is committed to protecting your personal information. We collect only the minimum data required to provide our travel services and process your bookings. We do not engage in any form of data selling, unauthorized sharing or unsolicited marketing using your information.

As a Haridwar-based tour operator serving pilgrims and travellers, we understand that trust is the foundation of our relationship with guests. Every piece of information you share with us โ€” your name, contact details, travel preferences and ID documents โ€” is handled with the utmost care and used only for the purpose for which it was provided.

For Char Dham Yatra registrations, we are required by the Uttarakhand government to submit biometric ID details. This is a mandatory legal requirement and is not in our control. All such data is submitted only to the official government registration portal (registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in) and to no other entity.

If you have any concerns about how we handle your data, please contact us at dev.yatra.chardham@gmail.com. We will respond within 3 working days. This privacy policy was last updated in January 2024 and applies to all users of the Dev Yatra website and services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Dev Yatra may update this privacy policy from time to time as our services evolve or as legal requirements change. When we make significant updates, we will post the revised policy on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website or services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated privacy policy.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites โ€” for example, the Uttarakhand government Char Dham registration portal, Google Maps or payment platforms. This privacy policy applies only to Dev Yatra's own website and services. Third-party websites have their own privacy policies and we have no control over their practices. We recommend reviewing their policies before sharing any personal information on those platforms.

Thank you for trusting Dev Yatra with your travel planning. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. For any privacy-related concerns, email dev.yatra.chardham@gmail.com or WhatsApp +91-8057146497.
