Privacy Notice

1. Who we are

This website belongs to Hotel Sonar Bangla, Puri, New Marine Drive Road, PO/PS - Baliapanda, Puri, Odisha 752001, India. In this notice, "we" and "us" mean that hotel. Questions about this notice can go to reservations@hotelsonarbangla.com or to +91 33 4002 1200.

2. What this website actually collects

The public pages of this site are static — photographs, text and a small amount of JavaScript. Simply reading them does not require an account and does not set advertising cookies.

Information reaches us in the following ways:

• Telephone and written enquiries. If you call, email or write to us, we hold the contact details you give us and the content of the conversation.
• Booking. There is no booking engine on this website. A reservation is completed by telephone or email with our reservations desk, or through a third-party booking platform. Where you use a platform, the information you give there is collected by that provider under its own privacy notice and passed to us so we can honour the reservation.
• Basic technical information. Our hosting infrastructure records ordinary server information such as the pages requested and the time of the request, which is used for security and reliability.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

This site is deliberately built without third-party tracking scripts. Interactive services that would normally embed a third party — such as a map — are loaded only when you choose to load them, so nothing is requested from those providers until you act.

If analytics are enabled in future, this notice will be updated before that happens, and only privacy-respecting measurement will be used. See section 6.

4. Why we use it

• To reply to your enquiry and to arrange a stay.
• To meet obligations that apply to a hotel — guest registration requirements, accounting and tax records.
• To keep the website secure and working.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for unrelated marketing without your agreement.

5. Who we share it with

We share information only as far as necessary: with the booking platform that processes your reservation, with service providers who support the hotel's operations, and where the law requires it. We do not disclose guest information to advertisers.

6. Analytics and measurement

This build ships with a small analytics layer that does not load any third-party library. Events — such as a booking button being clicked, or a telephone link tapped — are queued in the browser's dataLayer and made available to whatever measurement tool the hotel later decides to use. Until such a tool is configured, nothing is transmitted anywhere and no measurement identifier is set.

What those events carry is deliberately narrow: the name of the button, the page it sat on, the room category where relevant, and the channel dialled. Form field values are never captured — only the name of the form and whether its required fields were completed.

Explicitly not collected: advertising identifiers, cross-site tracking, session recording, heatmaps, or fingerprinting. Enabling transmission is a decision for the hotel, and this notice must be updated before it happens.

7. How long we keep it

Enquiry correspondence is kept long enough to answer you and to maintain a reasonable record of the conversation. Reservation and accounting records are kept for the period required of a hotel by applicable Indian law. After that they are deleted or anonymised.

8. Your choices

You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask for a correction, or ask us to delete information we are not required to keep. Write to reservations@hotelsonarbangla.com or call +91 33 4002 1200 and we will respond within a reasonable period.

You may also ask to withdraw consent at any time, where consent is the basis on which we rely. Withdrawing it does not affect processing that was lawful before you withdrew it.

9. Your rights

Subject to the law that applies to us, you have the right to:

• Access — be told what personal information we hold about you, and receive a copy of it.
• Rectification — have inaccurate information corrected.
• Erasure — have information deleted where we have no continuing reason to keep it.
• Withdraw consent — where consent was the basis for our processing.
• Complain — to the relevant supervisory authority if you believe your information has been handled improperly.

To exercise any of these, contact us using the details in section 1. We do not discriminate against anyone for exercising a right.

10. Information you give us about other people

When you make an enquiry for a group, you may give us the names and contact details of the people travelling with you. In doing so you confirm that you have told them, or that you are authorised to share their details, so that we can process the booking.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information in our care. No system is perfect, and no method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed, but we limit what we collect in the first place — which is the most effective protection available.

You can reduce your own exposure by avoiding shared or public computers when contacting us, and by not sending payment details over an open channel. The hotel will never ask you for card numbers over an ordinary telephone enquiry.

12. Children

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. A parent or guardian should make any enquiry concerning a child's stay.

13. Changes to this notice

If this notice changes, the revised version will be published on this page with a new effective date. Because this site has no tracking cookies, there is no banner to dismiss and no preference to reset — the page itself is always the current version.
