Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 10, 2026

At Gulmarg Ski Resort (including our divisions: Gulmarg Ski & Snowboarding School and Global Ski Shop), your privacy and safety are our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you book our mountain services, equipment, or travel packages.

Information We Collect

To provide seamless and safe alpine experiences, we collect the following types of information:

  • Contact Information: Name, email address, phone/WhatsApp number, and billing address.
  • Travel Details: Flight itineraries (for SXR airport pickups), arrival/departure dates, and hotel reservations.
  • Physical & Safety Data: Height, weight, shoe size, and riding stance (required solely for proper equipment calibration at Global Ski Shop), as well as basic medical or dietary restrictions necessary for backcountry safety and camping.
  • Identity Documents: Government-issued ID or passport details (required for hotel check-ins, J&K tourism tracking, and backcountry permits).

How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly to fulfill our services:

  • To confirm and manage your bookings, transit, and lodging.
  • To pre-tune your rental skis, snowboards, and avalanche gear prior to your arrival.
  • To communicate important weather, avalanche safety, or itinerary updates.
  • To coordinate with our certified guides, drivers, and partner hotels for a smooth trip.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share necessary information with trusted operational partners directly involved in your itinerary, including:

  • Partner hotels and chalets (for room reservations).
  • Dedicated 4x4 drivers (flight details and contact numbers for airport pickup).
  • Local authorities (such as the J&K Himalayan Tourism Department or local police) only if required for wilderness permits or emergency safety protocols.
