At Pure Afro Travels Tanzania, your privacy is our priority. Since 2004, our family-owned business has been built on trust. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information in accordance with the Tanzania Personal Data Protection Act (2022) and international standards (GDPR).

1. Information We Collect

To organize and operate your tailor-made travel itinerary safely, we collect the following “Essential Data”:

• Identity Information: Full name, gender, nationality, date of birth, and passport data (required for National Park permits, regional flights, and age- or residency-based discounts).
• Contact Information: Email address and phone number (for coordination and emergency support).
• Health & Wellness: Dietary requirements and relevant medical information relevant to your safety during trekking, safari, and other travel activities.
• In certain cases, information such as religion, race, or ethnicity, where voluntarily provided by the client or where relevant to arrangements associated with a travel group or specific services.
• For minors: Parents or legal guardians must provide all required personal information and give consent on behalf of children under 18. Services for minors cannot be provided without this consent.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information strictly for the following purposes:

• To secure accommodations, flights, and park permits.
• To provide ground support while you are in Tanzania.
• To comply with Tanzanian government regulations and safety protocols.

3. Data Sharing & Security

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share necessary information with authorized third-party providers directly involved in your trip (lodges, airlines, and National Parks).

• Strict Access: Access to your data is limited to Pure Afro Travels Tanzania staff directly involved in your journey.
• Third-Party Compliance: We require all partners to protect your data according to Tanzanian law and delete your information once the service is provided, except where retention is legally required.
• No Financial Storage: For your security, we do not store credit card details. All payments are processed through secure, 3D Secure-enabled (3DS) banking gateways.

4. The Pure Afro “Privacy Promise”

Your Journey, Your Privacy. Unlike mass-market operators, we respect the privacy of our boutique guests. We have a strict policy of never sharing our guests’ names, travel dates, or photos on social media without explicit, written permission.

Whether you are a public figure or simply seeking a quiet escape, your adventure remains private.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access, rectify, or request the deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing us.

By confirming a booking or paying a deposit, you provide consent for us to process the information necessary to deliver your travel arrangements. If consent for the processing of personal data required to arrange the travel services is withdrawn and this prevents Pure Afro Travels Tanzania from providing the booked services, the booking will be treated as cancelled and the applicable cancellation charges under Pure Afro Travels Tanzania General Terms and Conditions will apply.
