Sapna Travels collects information from clients and potential clients through various means including application forms, web-form registrations, marketing campaign, purchase/sale agreements and survey responses.

The type of information collected may include an individual's name, residential address, email address, home phone number, age group, preferences, credit information and specific comments.

Sapna Travels uses information collected from clients and potential clients to provide services or products, in respond to the requests for information or the purchase of Sapna Travels's products & services; for mailing contacts for Sapna Travels publications, marketing materials, special events or other marketing activity and for additional purposes that may be identified at or before the time that the information is collected. Sapna Travels also uses personal information from purchasers for accounting and transactional completion purposes.

Sapna Travels may disclose personal information to legal, financial and other professional advisors or in connection with the sale or reorganization of all or part of or its business or operations.

Requirement for consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information vary depending on circumstances and on the type of personal information that is intended to be collected, used or disclosed. In determining whether consent is required and, if so, which form of consent is appropriate, Sapna Travels will take into account both the sensitivity of the personal information at issue and the purposes for which Sapna Travels will use the information.

Consent may be express, implied through the use of opt-out consent where applicable or deemed. On giving reasonable written notice to Sapna Travels, an individual may withdraw consent to the collections, use or disclosure of his or her personal information.

Sapna Travels will not use or disclose personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with consent of the individual or as required or permitted by law.

Once the information is no longer required to fulfill its intended purpose, and is no longer required or permitted to be retained for legal or business purpose, it will be destroyed, erased or made anonymous.

Sapna Travels may disclose certain information to third party service providers and to affiliated entities in order to carry out work on behalf of Sapna Travels. Prior to making this disclosure, Sapna Travels will take appropriate steps to ensure that such recipients safeguard the personal information and use the information only for authorized purposes.

Sapna Travels will make reasonable efforts to ensure that any personal information collected by it, or on its behalf, is accurate and complete if the personal information is likely to be used by Sapna Travels to make a decision that affects the individual to whom the personal information relates or if the information is likely to be disclosed to a third party.

Sapna Travels will protect personal information with security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Security safeguards are employed to protect personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized access, collections, use, disclosure, copying, modifications or disposal or similar risks.
