About Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy

At GROUP SAFARI we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what personal data we collect from visitors and how we use it. In particular, we describe the information obtained through our contact form and website cookies. Privacy laws generally require that we disclose what personal data is collected, how it is used, and with whom it is shared.

Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Form Data: Our contact form may ask for information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and other details you provide (e.g. travel preferences or message). Contact forms typically collect a name and email, and may also include phone numbers, address, interests, or other details needed to assist you.Automatically Collected Data: We also gather technical data when you use the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing activity. This can include clickstream data or form usage patterns.Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tools (see Cookie Policy below) to identify your browser, remember your preferences, and measure site usage. These cookies themselves may collect or reference personal data (for instance, linking an IP address to visit activity).

How We Use Your Data

Responding to Inquiries: We use your form submissions to respond to your questions or requests. For example, if you ask about a safari tour, we use the contact information to get in touch.Service Improvement: We analyze usage data to improve our website and services. Anonymous analytics help us understand visitor behavior and enhance user experience.Marketing Communications: If you opt in, we may use your contact details to send you newsletters or promotional offers about our safari services. You can unsubscribe or opt out at any time.Legal Compliance and Protection: We may use information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our policies, or protect GROUP SAFARI's rights.

Sharing Your Information

Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (for example, email delivery, hosting, data analysis, or payment processing). For instance, when our contact form sends an email, it is handled by an email service provider. We require these parties to keep your data secure and only use it for the specified purpose.Analytics Services: We may share browsing and usage information with third-party analytics providers (such as web analytics tools) to better understand how our site is used. These providers collect only the data we allow (e.g. page visited, browser type), and often do so via cookies.Legal and Safety: We may share your personal information if required by law (e.g. to comply with a subpoena) or to protect the rights, property or safety of GROUP SAFARI, our users, or others.No Selling or Unrelated Sharing: We do not sell your personal data to advertisers or other businesses. We only share your information as described above or with your consent.

International Data Transfers

Our business and technical providers may operate in countries outside your own. For example, our website servers or cloud services might be located in another country. When we transfer your personal data across borders, we follow applicable laws (such as using standard contractual clauses or ensuring "adequacy" where required). In all cases, we aim to protect your data to the standards expected in your region.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined above. For instance, we keep contact form data to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable follow-up period. After that, we delete or anonymize the information unless we are legally required to retain it.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. For example:Access/Portability: You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.Correction: You can ask us to correct or update inaccurate information.Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data (subject to legal exceptions).Restriction/Objection: You can ask us to limit or stop certain processing (e.g. marketing).Data Portability: You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.Residents of the European Union are protected by the GDPR and can exercise rights such as those above. California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA (e.g. the right to know what categories of data are collected, right to opt out of any "sale" of data, etc.). (Currently, we do not "sell" personal data, so the California right to opt-out of sale is not applicable.) To exercise any of these rights, please contact us (see below). We will respond to all legitimate requests in accordance with applicable laws.

Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or a higher age if required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the minimum age. If we learn that a child has provided us personal data, we will delete it as soon as possible. Parents or guardians who believe we might hold such data may contact us to have it removed.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data (such as encryption, access controls, and secure networks). However, no internet transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this privacy policy as our practices or legal requirements change. The "Last Updated" date will reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. If changes are significant, we will notify users via our website or email.
