Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

BusesIndia ("we", "our", "us") operates busesindia.com, a bus travel information directory for India. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

  • Information you provide: when you create an account (name, email, phone), submit a review or question, contact us, or subscribe to fare alerts (email and the route you're tracking).
  • Automatically collected: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited and referring URLs, collected via server logs and cookies for security, analytics and product improvement.
  • Search activity: routes and cities you search on the site, stored in aggregate to improve route coverage and popular-route listings.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for: keeping you signed in (session cookies), remembering preferences, measuring site usage, and serving advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may limit features such as login.

Advertising and third-party vendors

We use third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, to support the free service:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at www.aboutads.info.

Analytics

We use analytics services to understand aggregate usage (which pages are read, from which regions, on which devices). This data is processed in aggregated or pseudonymous form.

How we use your information

  • To operate and improve the directory (accurate fares, timings, terminals).
  • To send fare-alert emails you have requested (every email includes an unsubscribe link).
  • To respond to inquiries, moderate reviews/questions, and prevent abuse and fraud.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not process ticket payments — bookings are completed with bus operators or their authorised platforms, whose own policies apply.

Data retention and security

Account data is retained while your account is active; you may request deletion at any time. Passwords are stored hashed. We apply industry-standard technical measures (HTTPS, access controls, security headers) to protect data.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. Fare alerts can be unsubscribed from the link inside every alert email.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
