Privacy Policy

1. Overview

maldivestravelscanner.com ("we", "us", "our") operates a digital platform that connects travelers with tourism service providers across the Maldives. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the platform, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information we collect

Booking requests: When you submit a booking request, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), travel date, number of guests, and any notes you include. This information is shared with the relevant provider so they can confirm availability and respond to your request.

Community content: When you post a review or trip story, we collect the content you submit along with your display name.

Account data: If you create an account (as a traveler, partner, or admin), we store your email address and any profile information you provide.

Usage data: We collect anonymous analytics events such as page views and booking submissions to understand how the platform is used and improve it.

3. How we use your information

• To process and forward booking requests to the relevant provider.
• To send confirmation and status updates about your requests.
• To display community content you choose to publish.
• To operate and improve the platform, including analytics and security.
• To respond to enquiries sent via our contact form or email.

4. Sharing

We share booking request details with the provider you selected so they can fulfil your request. We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the platform (such as email delivery and analytics), under appropriate data-protection agreements, and where required by law.

5. Data retention

We retain booking requests and account data for as long as needed to provide the service and respond to enquiries. Community content remains published until you request removal or delete it.

6. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us at info@maldivestravelscanner.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Account deletion: You can delete your account at any time from the in-app Profile screen. Deleting your account removes your access to the partner portal, community posting, and booking requests tied to your account.

7. Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data, including encryption of data in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and restricted access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information using industry-standard safeguards.

8. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

9. Third-party services

We use trusted third-party services to operate the platform, including email delivery, analytics, and sign-in providers (such as Google and Apple). These providers may collect limited data necessary to provide their services, governed by their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
