We use personal data such as your date of birth, gender, country of residence, transactions (for example, payments made with us and flights taken), information derived from Cookies and your preferences and behaviours for profiling. Some of the legitimate purposes we profile personal data include:

(1) to obtain a better understanding of what you would like to see from us and how we can continue to improve our services for you;

All our activities of analysis of your data and your preferences will not take place in an exclusively automated manner but will always involve the intervention and evaluation by our employees.

A “cookie” is a small computer file which is downloaded to your device. It collects information as to how you navigate our website and the internet, your preferences and helps us provide better website services to you.

Cookies may collect personal data about you. Cookies help us remember information about your visit to our website, like your departure point, and other settings and searches. Cookies enable us to understand who has seen which webpages and how frequently, and to determine which are the most popular areas of our website. They can also help us to operate our website more efficiently and make your next visit easier and customize your view of the website to reflect your preferences and activities. They also help us tailor our marketing and advertisements to you on our website, other website you visit, social media website and your other devices.

The Websites use cookies which may be technical cookies (i.e. to facilitate browsing and use of the Website), and profiling cookies (i.e. to analyse users and their behaviour and preferences). The use of such profiling cookies is subject to your consent, to be provided when you first access the Website.

Analytics

We aggregate personal data and remove any identifying elements in order to analyse patterns and improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyse website use, to improve our content and products and services, to customize our website’s content, layout, products and services, and to support our business operations and we may appoint third parties to do this on our behalf. We gather certain usage information like the number and frequency of visitors to our website. This information includes which webpage you just came from, which webpage you next go to, what browser you are using, your device ID and your IP address (partially obscured in order to prevent any identification). This collective data helps us to determine how much our customers use parts of our website, and do research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behaviour to better understand and serve you. One of the ways we do this is by installing and using Cookies on your browser or device.

Social Media

We also work with social media and other digital websites to provide you with advertisements within those websites. We provide them with your name and contact details (such as your email address or phone numbers). If these social media and digital websites match profile information provided by us with your profile information held by them then they will serve you our advertisements. The social media websites will not identify you or share other personal data in your social media account to us.

If you use buttons on our website linked to social media or similar sites (for example, “Like” and/or “Share” buttons), content from our website may be sent back to those sites and, depending on your privacy settings, may be privately or publicly visible (for example, to friends, followers or generally to anyone who has access to your profile page).

Such processing will be carried out by Us and the social media platform providers as joint data controllers and will be based on your consent.

H) Sharing your personal data with others

Your personal data will be processed (solely within their respective areas of competence) by persons in charge of the processing expressly authorized by us pursuant to applicable laws.

Within the purposes mentioned above (see paragraph E above), your data may come to the knowledge of the following:

(1) service providers who help manage our IT and back office systems, detect fraudulent transactions and security incidents, provide customer service center support, manage communications and tailor marketing and advertising; verify payments such as banks and payment card companies; provide internet services; host our facilities and conduct research that assists us with understanding consumer interests;

(2) third party advertising and social media website to provide advertising;

(3) bank and payment providers to authorize and complete payments;

(4) governments, government organizations and agencies, border control agencies, regulators, law enforcement and others as permitted or required by law, in relation to legal requirements that apply from time to time when travelling to or from a particular country, and to generally comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules, and requests of law enforcement, regulatory and other governmental agencies;

(5) third parties whose products or services you are purchasing through our website or offices, or otherwise such as airlines, tourism agencies, hotel, transfer and car hire companies, tour and excursion providers or to travel agents, including if there is a problem with your booking so that your travel agent can resolve it with you.

Such persons have agreed to confidentiality obligations and use any personal data we share with them or which they collect on our behalf solely for the purposes of providing the contracted service to us. Where appropriate, these suppliers have been appointed by the us as data processors according to applicable data protection laws.

J) Transferring personal data globally

We sell travel arrangements to destinations around the world, which means your personal data may be transferred and stored in other countries which may be outside your country of residence. Some of these countries are subject to different standards of data protection than your country of residence.

Such transfers will be carried out if necessary for the performance of the contract that we have concluded with you or in your interest (e.g. for hotel or airlines reservations, or to organise your transfers etc.) or according to the applicable laws.

We will take appropriate steps to ensure that transfers of personal data are in accordance with applicable law, and we only transfer personal data to another country where: (1) we are satisfied that adequate levels of protection are in place to protect your information (including any personal data); and (2) the transfers are fully managed to protect your privacy rights and interests and are limited to countries which are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where we can be satisfied that alternative arrangement are in place to protect your privacy rights.

Where we transfer your personal data outside our company or to third parties (who help us to provide our products and services), we obtain contractual commitments and obligations from them to protect your personal data; or where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we carefully review and validate these requests before any personal data is disclosed.

In the event your personal data is transferred to a foreign jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and we may be required to disclose it to the courts, law enforcement or governmental authorities in those jurisdictions.

You have a right to contact us for more information about the safeguards we have put in place to ensure the adequate level of protection of your personal data when this is transferred as mentioned above.

K) How we protect and store your personal data

a) Protection of your personal data

We have implemented and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures, policies and procedures designed to protect the personal data that you share with us and safeguard the privacy of such information. For example, the measures we take include:

(1) placing confidentiality requirements on our staff members and service providers, providing them with instructions for lawful data processing activities and appointing them as data processor where appropriate under applicable data protection laws;

(2) destroying or permanently anonymizing personal data if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected;

(3) following security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your personal data to prevent unauthorized access to it; and

(4) using secure communication channels on our website such as SSL (“secure sockets layer”) for transmitting data that is sent to us. SSL are industry standard encryption protocols used to protect online transaction channels. Having said this, even if we take reasonable steps: (i) it is possible for internet-based communications to be intercepted;

(ii) without the use of encryption, the internet is not a secure medium and privacy cannot be ensured; and

(iii) internet e-mail is vulnerable to interception and forging.

b) Storage of your personal data

We keep your personal data for as long as is strictly necessary for the purposes for which it was collected as indicated at paragraph 2 above and in compliance with applicable time limits set forth by applicable laws and with consents granted, if any. Thereafter, the data will be destroyed or anonymized. We will ensure that it is disposed of in a secure manner. In most cases we will destroy your data 7 years after collection in order to comply with local and international rules and regulations. Where no further communication occurs beyond an enquiry or where we are contacted via our website or social media channels, data will be removed not more than 24 months after collection.

In some circumstances we may store your personal data for longer periods of time, for example, where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting requirements. In specific circumstances we may store your personal data for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal data or dealings.

I) Legal rights available to help manage your privacy

Applicable data protection laws grant you certain rights in relation to the processing of your personal data: in order to exercise your rights, we may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, in particular before disclosing personal data to you.

You can exercise your rights by emailing us at enquiries@campsilwane.org. Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honour your request within 30 days from the receipt or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfil your request.

We may not always be able to fully address your request, for example, if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way.

(1) compliance with a legal obligation; or

(2) the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If we do erase your data, then we may not be able to provide you with services or access to our website or platform(s).

Right to withdraw your consent

You always have the withdraw at any time freely your consent by sending an email to enquiries@campsilwane.org, without prejudice to the lawfulness of processing based on consent before the withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint

Should you consider the processing of your data infringes applicable data protection laws, you may in any event lodge a complaint before the supervisory or regulatory authority of the Country of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

Responsibility for damages

Except to the extent prohibited under applicable law, we will not be responsible for any damages suffered by you or any third party as a result of the transmission of confidential or other information disclosed to us through the internet, or that you expressly or implicitly authorize us to make, or for any errors or any changes made to any transmitted information.
