When you browse the Site and have

you entered the Site via a Web site or E-mail hyperlink,
is collected and tracked in aggregate. This information
is used for the purpose of measuring response rates

African Spice Safaris collects the
IP addresses used to access our Site and the dates

In order to provide you with a particular
Site product or service, we may request that you voluntarily
supply us with Personal Information for purposes such
as correspondence, Site registration, submitting an
application or booking request, placing an order,
requesting product descriptions, or participating
in Site surveys and/or contests.
If you are known to us as a registered

information about your use of Site products or services
with certain other online and offline information
we have about you as an African Spice Safaris customer
as well as information available from external sources
in order to customize your Site experience and present
you with relevant online and offline communications.
Information Use
We may use Personal Information you
have given us with any of our group of companies,
including our parent companies and any of our subsidiaries
or commonly-owned companies, to for example, provide
a service, ensure proper booking, measure consumer
interest in our various products and services and
inform you about products and services. If you have
provided your E-mail address to us or to a company
we've partnered with to make their products and services
available to you, we may send you E-mail.
These E-mails may be based on Personal
Information you provided in your initial transaction
with us, in surveys both online and offline, from
information that may indicate purchasing preferences
and lifestyle, as well as available from external
sources. These E-mails come directly from African
Spice Safaris. You can opt-out from receiving E-mail

When we send you E-mail, we may use
your E-mail address to identify information about
your receipt of the E-mail, including whether the
communication was opened, how many times it was viewed
and whether you clicked on an embedded hyperlink to
reach a particular product or service. This information
is used to measure response rates to E-mail communications
as well as enhance your Site experience.
African Spice Safaris does not provide
your Personal Information to our business partners.
However, we may send you offers on behalf of our business
partners. If you take advantage of an offer from a
African Spice Safaris business partner and become
their customer, they may independently wish to send
E-Mails to you.
In this case, you will need to inform
them separately if you wish to decline receiving future
E-mails from them. We may share Personal Information
with law enforcement agencies in the event of a criminal
investigation or suspected illegal activity.
