Privacy Policy

The Hotel Life (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect when you visit thehotellife.com, why, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.

What we collect

Information you give us. When you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us, we collect the email address and any details you choose to provide.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we log standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and referring site, to understand how the site is used and to keep it secure.

Cookies & advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising. This site displays direct advertising and may display ads served by Google AdSense once that service is active. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised Google advertising via Google's Ads Settings, and manage cookies through your browser at any time.

Affiliate links and commission

Some booking links on this site are affiliate links, served through Commission Junction on behalf of partners including Booking.com, Hotels.com and Accor. If you follow one of these links and go on to book, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Links that earn us a commission are labelled as partner links wherever they appear.

When you click an affiliate link you are passed through the partner network's redirect, which sets its own cookie so the booking can be attributed to this site. That cookie is read by the network and the advertiser, not by us, and it typically expires within days. We never receive your payment details or booking information: we only see aggregate click and commission reporting.

Commission never influences our reviews, ratings or which hotels we choose to cover. Where a hotel has no affiliate programme we link directly to the hotel and earn nothing, and we say so on the page.

How we use your information

We use what we collect to send the newsletter you asked for, respond to your messages, measure and improve our content, and display relevant advertising that helps keep The Hotel Life free to read.

Newsletter storage

Newsletter email addresses are stored in a private Vercel Blob store connected to this website. The files are not publicly accessible. We retain this information for as long as you remain subscribed, or as needed to meet legal and security obligations.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers who help us operate the site, for example our email and analytics providers and advertising partners, and only as needed to provide those services, or where required by law.

Your rights

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Until our one-click preference centre is available, you can ask us to remove your address, access your information or delete the personal data we hold about you by messaging us on WhatsApp at +91 98102 54606. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA.
