Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 August 2026

Hike Visa Consultants ("Hike Visa," "we," "us," or "our"), of SCO 99–100, 2nd Floor, Sector 17B, Chandigarh – 160017, India, respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through www.hikevisa.com (the "Site") and our consultations, why we collect it, and how we protect it.

1. Information we collect

When you submit a form on the Site (for example, our Free Assessment / Free Consultation form), call, WhatsApp, or email us, we may collect:

• Your name, phone number, and email address
• Country and visa type you're enquiring about
• Any message or details you choose to share with us
• Documents you provide during a paid consultation (e.g. passport copies, financial statements, academic records) — collected directly from you, not through the Site's forms

We also automatically collect limited technical information (such as browser type, device, approximate location, and pages viewed) via standard web server logs and any analytics or advertising tools listed in Section 4.

2. How we use your information

• To respond to your enquiry and provide a free eligibility assessment
• To contact you by phone, SMS, WhatsApp, or email about your enquiry, at your consent
• To prepare and manage your case if you engage us as a client
• To improve our Site and services, and measure how people find us

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Who we share it with

We do not share your information with third parties except:

• With your explicit involvement — e.g. universities, visa offices, insurance providers, or banks that your application requires
• With service providers who help us operate the Site and respond to enquiries (e.g. hosting provider, email delivery service), under confidentiality obligations
• Where required by law, regulation, or a valid legal process

4. Cookies and analytics

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functioning, analytics (e.g. Google Analytics), and, if we run online advertising, conversion tracking and remarketing (e.g. Google Ads). These tools may set cookies in your browser and share limited, aggregated data with Google. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If we add any such tool in future, we will update this notice and, where required, request your consent before non-essential cookies are set.

5. Data retention

We retain enquiry and client data for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you, provide our services, and meet legal, accounting, or regulatory record-keeping requirements, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.

6. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law (including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, where applicable), you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or withdraw consent to be contacted, by emailing us at the address below.

8. Children's privacy

The Site is intended for adults seeking visa and study-abroad guidance. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 without parental or guardian involvement.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
