Information Shared with Trusted Partners:
Nice & Curry works with reputable and trusted independent partners to help curate experiences throughout Sri Lanka.
These may include:
Accommodation providers.

Local guides and transport providers.
Farms and community-based experience providers.

We aim to limit shared information to what is necessary for the relevant purpose. Independent partners may act as separate data controllers for information they receive and may apply their own privacy policies. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
