What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Each time a user visits our website, certain use and navigation information is collected by our servers. This information is aggregate and anonymous. It gives us information such as the number, frequency and duration of visits to each web page which we use to improve the content and navigation features of our website. A third-party cookie may also be placed on your computer which will collect information about your visit to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Usage of such cookies is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

If you would like to opt out of accepting cookies altogether, you can generally set your browser to not accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether or not to accept it. However, certain features of our web sites or other services may not work optimally if you delete or disable cookies.

We collect personal information about you when you provide it to us, such as through your use of our website and its features, when you contact us directly by email, phone, in writing, or via social media, when you order goods and services, when you use any of our other websites or applications or any other means by which you provide personal information to us. The type of information we collect about you may include information such as:

  • Information about how you use our website (e.g. which pages you have viewed, the time you viewed them and what you clicked on)
  • Information about your mobile device (such as your geographical location)

Information we obtain from third parties will generally be your name and contact details, but may include any additional information they provide to us, including (but not limited to) any of the types of information set out in the list above.

We may also obtain personal information about you from certain publicly accessible sources, including (but not limited to) the electoral register, online customer databases, business directories, media publications, social media, websites and other publicly accessible sources.

Please note that there are circumstances in which we may not be required to provide you with the information contained in this Privacy Policy, for example if you already have the information.

In addition, where we obtain personal information about you from a source other than yourself, we are not required to provide you with certain information contained in this Privacy Policy if:

  • You already have the information
  • Providing you with the information would prove impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort
  • We are under an EU or EU member state law obligation to obtain or disclose the information which provides appropriate measures to protect your legitimate interests
  • We are obliged to keep the information confidential as a result of an obligation of professional secrecy regulated by EU or EU member state law

Access To Data

You have the right to request access to the information we have on you. You can do this by contacting us at privacy@blackrhinoexpeditions.com. We will make sure to provide you with a copy of the data we process about you. In order to comply with your request, we may ask you to verify your identity. We will fulfill your request by sending your copy electronically, unless the request expressly specifies a different method.

Who we share your data with

Except as otherwise described in this privacy statement, Black Rhino Expeditions will not disclose personal information to any third party unless we believe that disclosure is necessary:

  • To conform to legal requirements or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other legal process received by Black Rhino Expeditions, whether or not a response is required by applicable law
  • To enforce the Black Rhino Expeditions Terms and Conditions or to protect our rights
  • To protect the safety of members of the public and users of the service.

Black Rhino Expeditions reserves the right to transfer personal information to a successor in interest that acquires rights to that information as a result of the sale of Black Rhino Expeditions or substantially all of its assets to that successor in interest. 

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Information Correction and Deletion

If you believe that the information we have about you is incorrect, you can contact us to update it. Click on the Contact link at the bottom of any Black Rhino Expeditions web page for information on how to contact us.

If at any point you wish for Black Rhino Expeditions to delete information about you, please submit your request to privacy@blackrhinoexpeditions.com.

International Privacy Rules

If you are visiting our websites from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information (including personal data) to the United States where our servers are located. That information may then be transferred within the United States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of your country of residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored by us. These countries (including the United States) may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensive or protective as those in your country of residence; however, our collection, storage and use of your personal data will at all times be governed by this Privacy Policy.

Opt Out Of Marketing

The personally identifiable information that you provide to us and information about your order may be combined with other personally identifiable information from our records and other sources.
