We are required under Indian law to maintain guest registers and share certain information with local authorities, tax departments, and regulatory bodies when legally mandated to do so.

Section 03

Data Protection & Security

We employ industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted through our website. Payment information is processed through PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways and is never stored on our servers.

Access Controls

Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised Hotel Amrit Palace staff who require it to perform their duties. All employees are bound by confidentiality obligations and undergo regular privacy training.

We engage trusted third-party vendors including payment processors, booking platforms (Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Agoda, etc.), IT service providers, and housekeeping management systems who process data on our behalf under strict contractual obligations.

We Never Sell Your Data

Hotel Amrit Palace does not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Your privacy is not a product.
