Personal Data Collected.

We collect personal data from you through our interactions with you and when you share it with us through or in connection with, but not limited to, the Site, our services and surveys. For example, you may share your data when you sign up for our newsletter, submit an inquiry, book a tour, file a complaint or publish a review.

We may produce anonymous data from your data and other individuals’ data by making the data non-identifiable to any person. We may use that anonymous data for our business activity.

Also, you may share personal data from a third party. For example, you may provide the name, email address and telephone number of a tour participant or service provider. In those cases, you are responsible for getting authorisation from those third parties to share their data with us and to give us permission to collect and process their data under this Privacy Policy.

Below is a list of how we collect personal data from you and what we use that information for.

Where is Your Data Stored?

The personal data that we collect from you is stored in Bangladesh.

We employ administrative, technical, and physical security measures to prevent loss, manipulation and unauthorised access to your data. However, due to the nature of the online activity, it is impossible to ensure that it will be entirely secure or error-free. While we strive to maintain high privacy standards, we cannot guarantee the complete security of your personal information. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any personal data to us.

Data Retention.

We will retain your data for as long as: – You maintain an account or are active on the Site; – Needed to provide services to you; – To maintain a record of your transactions for tax purposes; – Necessary for customer service purposes; – Necessary to comply with our legal obligations; – To enforce our agreements.

Sharing of Personal Data.

Bangladesh Unbound may share your data with third parties for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy:

(a). With affiliated companies which may process the data in countries other than the country in which Bangladesh Unbound initially collected the data; (b). With other Site users, to provide or use the services you require. For example, when we share personal data among travellers, the guides or the travel agents deliver a booking and coordinate the tour. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the Site’s users. The terms of the privacy policies of such users apply to the disclosure of any personal data provided to them; (c). With data service providers, such as cloud, hosting, server maintenance, and backup services. Data service providers will have to maintain the confidentiality of your data; (d). With other service providers to edit, adapt or modify the content you uploaded to the Site; (e). When we are required to do so by law, including disclosure and use of your data as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws and administrative or legal processes, such as to respond to requests from government authorities; (f). To exercise or defend our legal rights, including providing information to governments or law enforcement officials; (g). To marketing service providers to analyse and execute advertising activities, such as newsletters.

You, at this moment, agree to hold Bangladesh Unbound harmless for any damages that may result should any personal information about You be released by any third parties, including but not limited to any Site user.

We never sell or exchange your data for marketing purposes to third parties.
