Who we are
Diar Al Manasik International (Diyar Al Manasek International Travel and Tourism Company, CR 4031290230) provides hotel accommodations, visa assistance, transportation, and group handling services for travelers and pilgrims visiting Makkah and Madinah. This notice explains how we collect, use, and protect your information across our global operations.
What we collect
When you submit a booking inquiry or reservation request, we collect:
- Contact & Identity Details: Your name, WhatsApp number, email address, nationality, and visa category.
- Stay Preferences: Selected hotels in Makkah and Madinah, check-in and check-out dates, room configurations, guest count, meal plans, and any special requests you add in the notes.
- Security Rule for Notes: Please do not enter credit card numbers, passport numbers, or national ID numbers into the general notes box. Our system tries to remove such numbers from open text fields automatically, but it cannot catch every format. When official travel documents are required for hotel check-in, group rooming lists, or visa processing, our reservation team will request them through our verified communication channels.
Why we collect it
- Fulfillment: To verify room availability, lock in your reservation, register your details on official hotel rooming lists, and issue your booking voucher.
- Communication: To send reservation updates, secure payment links, and arrival coordination via WhatsApp and email.
- Compliance: To meet international travel, hospitality, accounting, and local regulatory record-keeping requirements.
