Privacy Policy
How we collect, use and protect your personal data
Last updated: 6 October 2026
This policy explains what data we collect when you use zain4travel.com, contact us or book with us, why we collect it, who we share it with and what your rights are. We comply with the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection and respect the rights granted by the laws of your country of residence where they apply (such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, or the Personal Data Protection Law of Saudi Arabia).
01Who is responsible for your data
- Data controller: Zain Travel LLC, identification code 402158972, Georgia, Tbilisi, Didube district, Uznadze str. N 111, building N2, apt. N11.
- Privacy contact: info@zain4travel.com or WhatsApp +995 511 149 000. Start your message with "Privacy" so it reaches the responsible person directly.
02The data we collect
Data you give us:
- When requesting a quote or booking: name, phone number, email, country of residence, travel dates and arrival/departure airports, number of travelers and children's ages, hotel, room and tour preferences, budget, and any special requests you mention.
- When a booking is confirmed: passport copies or details and dates of birth when a hotel, insurer, carrier or visa procedure requires them, and any health or dietary information you choose to share so we can organize the trip.
- When paying: the amount, order number, email and booking description. Your card details never reach us: they are entered directly on the Flitt payment page, and we keep only the transaction notice and the last four digits of the card as sent by the gateway.
- When submitting a review: name, email, country, rating and comment. The name, country and comment are published after our review; your email is never published.
- When contacting us on WhatsApp, Telegram or email: the content of the messages and your number or handle.
Data collected automatically when you browse:
- IP address, browser and device type, language, requested pages and their time, in the hosting provider's server logs and in our abuse-protection counters (rate limiting). These records are kept for short periods and for security only.
- Aggregated, non-personal statistics: views per offer, clicks on the WhatsApp button and PDF downloads. They are not linked to your identity.
- Essential cookies always, and measurement tools (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel) only if you accept them in the cookie banner. They show us which pages and offers interest visitors and measure our ads; you can decline or change your choice at any time from the "Cookie settings" link in the footer (see section 9).

05Transfers outside Georgia
- To deliver your trip, booking data is sent to suppliers in the destination country (such as Azerbaijan, Malaysia or Thailand). This is necessary to perform our contract with you.

08How we protect your data
- Everything you enter on the website travels over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and the database is hosted by a provider offering encryption and backups.
- Access to the admin panel is limited to our team with a password and temporary sessions; login attempts are logged and repeated attempts are blocked.
- We store no payment card data and limit the number of requests one device can send, to reduce abuse.
- We take regular backups. Still, no system is 100% secure; if a breach affecting your data occurs we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires.
10Children
Our services are aimed at adults. We collect children's data only from their guardian and only as needed for the booking (names, ages and dates of birth); it is deleted together with the booking data.
11Reviews and photos
- Every review is checked before publication and is published with the name you entered, your country and the date. You may ask us to change your name or remove the review at any time.
- Trip photos and videos are published only with the consent of the people shown, and you may ask us to remove any photo you appear in.
12Updates and contact
We may update this policy when our services or the law change and will publish the new version here with its update date. For material changes we inform customers with active bookings. Questions: info@zain4travel.com.
