Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 October 2026

JesTiny Guide ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use jestinyguide.com, how we use it, and your rights. By using our website, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. We may collect:

• Usage data: pages visited, time spent, airport searches, device type, and approximate location (city/country level) — collected through analytics tools.
• Chatbot messages: the questions you type into our airport navigation chatbot, so it can respond to you. These messages and the chatbot's answers are stored in a log on our server (see Data Retention below), so please do not type personal details such as your name, phone number or passport number into the chat.
• Photos (optional): if you choose to attach a photo — either to help our chatbot identify a landmark and give you directions, or as supporting evidence for a location survey answer — that photo is sent to our AI provider for processing. Survey-evidence photos are stored on our server, linked only to a non-identifying device code (see below), so a real traveller's answer can be reviewed if a location detail is disputed. Photos are never used for any purpose beyond improving the accuracy of our airport navigation guidance.
• A non-identifying device code: if you answer one of our in-chat location surveys (helping us verify or dispute a counter's exact location), we store a randomly generated code in your browser's local storage. This code is not linked to your name, email, or any other personal information — its only purpose is to prevent the same browser from voting on the same question more than once.
• Contact information: only if you voluntarily email us or fill in a contact form (such as your name and email address).

We do not ask for or store payment details, passport numbers, or government IDs. We are an information service and never process financial transactions.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve our airport currency exchange guidance.
• To power the chatbot's responses to your questions, including identifying a landmark if you choose to attach a photo.
• To let real travellers help confirm or correct disputed counter locations through our in-chat survey/voting system.
• To understand which airports and features are most useful, so we can improve the service.
• To respond to your enquiries if you contact us.

3. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and to understand how it is used (for example, Google Analytics, which collects usage data such as pages visited and approximate location). You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well. We do not sell your personal data.

4. Third-Party Services

Our website uses third-party services that may process limited data on our behalf, including:

• Live currency rate providers — to display indicative exchange rates.
• AI chatbot provider — to generate navigation responses to your questions, and to identify landmarks in any photo you choose to attach.
• Analytics providers — to measure website usage.
• Affiliate partners — if you click a partner link, that partner's own privacy policy applies.
• Advertising providers — such as Google AdSense (see the next section).

5. Advertising and Google

We may show advertisements on this website, including ads served by Google. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising. Where the law requires it, for example for visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, ads and the cookies behind them are shown only with your consent. You can read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

6. Data Retention

We keep usage and analytics data only as long as needed to improve our service. Chatbot questions and answers are stored in a log on our server. Each entry holds the date, your question and the chatbot's answer. It is not linked to your name or any account, and we do not store your IP address in it. We use the log only to understand what travellers commonly ask and to improve our guidance, and we never sell it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location (including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act and the EU GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. To exercise these rights, email us at contact@jestinyguide.com.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is intended for travellers and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
