Privacy Policy
We built Ghumo to help you find honest flight fares — not to harvest your data. Here is exactly what we collect, why, and the control you have over it.

1Who we are
Ghumo ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at ghumo.org, a flight-search and travel-information service focused on Indian travellers. We help you compare flight fares and read travel guides. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using ghumo.org, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.
2Information we collect
Information you give us directly
When you contact us or fill in a form, you may provide your name, email address, and the content of your message. Search inputs such as origin, destination, and travel dates are processed to return flight results but are not tied to your identity.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical data when you visit, including your approximate location (city/region derived from IP), browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page, and time spent. This helps us understand how the site is used and improve it.
3How we use your data
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and operate flight-comparison results and travel content;
- Respond to your enquiries and support requests;
- Measure and improve site performance, speed, and usability;
- Understand which routes, guides, and features are most useful;
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or misuse.
4Cookies & analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and to collect anonymised usage statistics. We may use analytics tools (such as privacy-respecting web analytics) to see aggregate trends — for example, how many people viewed a route page — without identifying individuals.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site features but you will still be able to read our content and compare fares.
5Third-party links & partners
Ghumo compares fares and may link out to airlines, online travel agencies, and booking partners. When you click through to a partner site to complete a booking, you leave ghumo.org and become subject to that site's privacy policy and terms. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites.
We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit through our links before providing them with personal or payment information.
6How we protect data
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard the information we hold, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections and restricted access to any stored data. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Enquiry messages are retained while needed to assist you and are then deleted. Aggregated, anonymised analytics data may be kept longer as it does not identify you.
8Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you;
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information;
- Request deletion of your personal data;
- Object to or restrict certain processing;
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@ghumo.org and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
9Children's privacy
Ghumo is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
