This page says what PickMySafari collects, why, and who sees it. To ask about your data, write to [email protected].
What we collect
- Mailing list: your email, whether you are a traveller or an operator, and the optional answers on the form.
- Safari requests: your name, email, dates, group size, residency, budget and any note you write.
- Operators: company name, contact details, licence details and the bids you place.
- Payments: the amount, method and reference of a deposit. Card and M-Pesa details are entered on our payment provider's page and never reach us.
- Cookies: one cookie that keeps you signed in. We use no advertising or tracking cookies.
Why we collect it
- To send you the launch emails you asked for.
- To pass your request to licensed operators, show you their bids and arrange your booking.
- To email you about your own requests, bids and bookings.
Who sees it
- Operators see your first name and trip details when you send a request. They see your full name and email only after you accept their bid and pay the deposit.
- Our team sees everything above, including a private copy kept in a Google Sheet.
- Service providers that run the site for us: our web and email hosting, Cloudflare, Google, and Paystack for payments.
We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
How long we keep it
Until you ask us to delete it, or until we no longer need it for a booking or for our records. Every launch email has an unsubscribe link.
Your rights
Under Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019 you can ask to see, correct or delete your data, and object to how we use it. Write to [email protected]. You can also complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
