Privacy Policy

01Introduction

Cafe In Pokhara (“we”, “us”, or “the platform”) is a local directory that helps people discover cafes, coffee shops, bakery cafes, and brunch spots around Pokhara. This Privacy Policy explains what information we handle, why we handle it, and the choices you have. By using the platform you agree to the practices described here.

02Information We Collect

We aim to collect only what is needed to run the directory and keep listings useful and current. Depending on how you use the site, this may include:

• Account details such as your name, email address, and profile photo when you sign in (including via Google sign-in).
• Listing information submitted by cafe owners, such as venue name, description, address, hours, amenities, photos, and contact details.
• Messages you send through the contact or support forms.
• Basic technical and usage data (such as device, browser, and pages visited) collected through cookies and analytics tools.

03How We Use Information

• Operate, maintain, and improve the directory and its listings.
• Display venue information submitted by owners to people searching for cafes.
• Respond to inquiries, support requests, and listing correction requests.
• Understand how the platform is used so we can improve search, layout, and content.
• Protect the platform against misuse, fraud, and abuse.

04Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure how the site is used. Analytics services (such as Google Tag Manager and associated tools) may collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as expected if you do.

05Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in limited circumstances:

• With trusted service providers who help us host and operate the platform (for example, our database and authentication providers).
• When required by law, regulation, or a valid legal request.
• To protect the rights, safety, and security of users and the platform.

06Data Retention

We keep information for as long as it is needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Listing content remains available while a venue is published on the platform.

07Your Choices & Rights

• Access or update your account and listing information from your dashboard.
• Request a correction to published venue details.
• Request deletion of your account or a listing you own.
• Opt out of non-essential cookies through your browser.

08Listing Accuracy

Cafe owners and administrators can update business information, but listing details such as hours, pricing, and availability may still change over time. We encourage visitors to confirm important details directly with venues before visiting.

09Children’s Privacy

The platform is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

10Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the platform evolves or as legal requirements change. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Continued use of the platform after changes means you accept the revised policy.
