Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies solely to Jungli the Nomad Village and Exalt Enviroklen Private Limited ("we," "our," or "us").

It governs how we collect, use, and protect information obtained from applicants, residents, workshop participants, visitors, and website users.

This Policy does not apply to any other organizations, individuals, or third-party websites linked from our platforms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

2. Purpose of Information Collection

Jungli operates as an Experiential Learning Residency - not as a commercial tourism or accommodation provider.

We collect information only for legitimate purposes that support our educational and community programs, including:

• Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all residents, mentors, and staff.
• Verifying the identity and suitability of applicants during the screening process.
• Managing residency participation, workshops, and community activities.
• Fulfilling legal and regulatory requirements, including visitor and safety documentation.
• Conducting limited statistical and demographic analysis to improve program design.

We do not collect or use data for advertising, third-party marketing, or commercial resale.

3. Information We Collect

Depending on your interaction with us (e.g., application, residency, workshop attendance, or volunteering), we may collect the following:

• Full name and contact details (phone number, email address, postal address)
• Gender and nationality (for demographic and legal documentation)
• Date of birth (for age verification and safety)
• Identification data (passport, Aadhaar, or other government ID)
• Emergency contact details
• Personal learning intention or project description (for program alignment)
• Photographs or video recordings during community sessions or events
• Payment details where applicable (for program contributions or workshop fees)

We do not require or store credit-card data directly on our servers.

All financial transactions are securely processed through approved payment gateways that comply with PCI-DSS standards.
