Section 4
Statutory ID & Guest Registration Requirements
Under the regulatory directives governing hospitality establishments in India, every adult guest (18+ years) must produce an original government-approved photo ID at the time of physical check-in.
Mandatory Regulatory Notice:
Acceptable IDs for domestic guests include Aadhaar Card, Passport, Voter ID Card, or Driving License. Please note that PAN cards are not accepted as valid identity proof per government hospitality mandates. Foreign nationals must present their physical Passport and valid Indian Visa or OCI card for statutory Form C police registration.
Section 5
Payment & Partner Protection
Direct online transaction deposits are handled through certified, PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways with 256-bit SSL encryption. Smiley Green Resort does not store, view, or retain your credit/debit card CVV or net banking credentials on our web servers.
If you made your reservation through third-party platforms (such as Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Agoda, or Goibibo), their respective privacy frameworks govern the initial collection of your data, while our policy governs your on-property guest stay records.
Section 6
Data Retention & Security Safeguards
We maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, accidental alteration, or disclosure of guest information.
Statutory guest register folios and billing records are archived for the duration required by local taxation, audit, and hospitality laws (typically 3 to 7 years), after which physical files are securely shredded and digital logs are purged.
Section 7
Cookies & Digital Tracking
Our website utilizes essential functional cookies to remember language choices, room selection dates in reservation forms, and anonymous visitor traffic trends. We do not deploy intrusive cross-site tracking pixels or invasive advertising beacons. You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings at any time without losing core browsing access.

- Request verification of whether we hold your personal reservation records.
- Request updates or corrections to inaccuracies in your contact information.
- Opt out of informational pre-arrival notices or post-stay hospitality satisfaction feedback.
