Afia Tourism respects the privacy of our customers and have developed this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy. This Policy is intended to describe the information we collect, how we use it and with whom we share it. We also will discuss some of your choices about these matters. If you have questions about how we use this information, please feel free to contact us through our “contact us” form.

It’s Important to Read this Policy Carefully. Because we gather certain types of information from and about our users, we want you to fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the acquisition and use of this information. By using our website or by doing business with us, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect about You

We collect information that you provide us through doing business with us via this website. You do not have to provide us with any information to visit our websites; however, you may not be able to fully utilize all of the services on our websites or be able to make purchases if you choose not to provide certain information. Examples of the kinds of information and the manner in which we collect such information are listed below:

In General

Information collected may include identifying information, such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number, and, if you transact business with us, financial information such as your payment method (valid credit/debit card number, type, expiration date and other financial information), as well as other personal and non-personal information that allows us to serve you better.

Email

When you subscribe to Afia Tourism emails or newsletters, you will provide your email address.

Customer Care

If you contact our Customer Care department via phone, mail or email, we keep a log of the information with your personal account to continue improving our service, follow-up on customer requests, and contact people who may be violating our policies.

Cookies

We may place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain personal information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have provided. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. We use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you’ve set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to place an order.

Our Use of Collected Information:

Collected information may be used to: deliver services that you have ordered; manage your account and provide you with customer support; perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our services, or content, communicate with you by e-mail, postal mail, telephone and/or otherwise about services that may be of interest to you from us; enforce our terms and conditions; and otherwise manage our business and facilitate your transactions.

Financial information

We may use financial information or payment method information to process payments for any purchases or sales made on our website by phone, or otherwise, enroll you in programs in which you elect to participate, pre-qualify you for credit card and other offers that you might find of interest, protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business.

Third-party Service Providers

We use third-party service providers in various aspects of our business, and we may share your personal information with them as necessary for them to perform their functions. For example, service providers may assist us with order fulfillment, package delivery, credit card processing, customer service, website functionality or promotions. They may collect personal or non-personal statistics about our users, and have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. They may collect anonymous information about your visits to our Web site, and your interaction with our services. This anonymous information is collected through the use of a pixel tag, which is industry standard technology used by most major web sites. No personally identifiable information is collected or used in this process. They do not know the name, phone number, address, email address, or any personally identifying information about the user.

Other Disclosures

We may disclose personal information when we are required or requested to do so by law, court order, subpoena, legal process, or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency to establish, exercise, enforce or apply our rights and agreements; defend against legal claims, or when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is necessary or advisable, including, for example, to protect the rights, property or safety of our website, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We may also share information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

We understand the importance of securing and protecting personal information. We maintain appropriate safeguards to secure your personal information. To help protect the integrity and privacy of the personal information you provide, we use encryption technology to transmit personal information over the Internet to our servers.  We secure your personal information on servers located in controlled, secure environments, protected from unauthorized access, use or alteration. Our employees have limited access to your personal information based on their responsibilities and all employees are instructed to protect the confidentiality of your personal information as described in the Policy. We want you to feel confident using our website to transact business. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure. You should also take care with how you handle and disclose your personal information and should avoid sending personal information through insecure e-mail. We encourage you to learn about how to prevent identify theft. Some excellent resources can be found on the websites like the site of the Federal Trade Commission, www.ftc.gov and http://onguardonline.gov/index.html.
