We at Emakhabeleni B&B recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information or data collected about our users, prospective users or other customers. This privacy policy discloses what information we gather, how we use it and how to correct or change it.
Collection of Information
Emakhabeleni only collects personal information that is necessary for business purposes. We collect personal information by requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when you register on one of our websites, request information from us or participate in activities on our websites. At these times, you give contact information which may include name, address and e-mail address. When you purchase or utilise products and/or services from us, we will note, for example, your contact information, credit card information, the type of services or products purchased, and the date of purchase. When other information such as, gender, date of birth, number of children, and product and/or service preferences, is associated with personal information, this also becomes personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
Use of Internet Protocol (“IP”) Addresses
An IP address is a unique number that allows your computer to be identified by web servers, that serve up web pages. This in turn allows us to identify and gather general information and data about you, such as the web pages you view. Emakhabeleni collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report information to our business partners, and in order to track and audit the use of our own Web Sites. When users request pages from Emakhabeleni’s websites, our servers log the user’s IP addresses.
Uses of Personal Information
As a general rule, Emakhabeleni does not, and will not, sell or rent your personal information. We will use and disclose your personal information to others as stated in this Privacy Policy. We may use Personal Information in many ways, including sending you information on products and/or services and promotions. We may share your Personal Information with third parties so that these third parties can send you offers and or promotional materials. We will always seek the consent of Members, additional users or their guests before disclosing data relating to them for the making of offers by third parties, by informing Members, additional users or their guests of an intention to process their data for such purposes and offering them a possibility to opt out of such use of their data, in a form or document returned to each of them or alternatively by notifying each of them, by telephone, fax or e-mail.
We may use Personal Information to complete transactions requested by you on our web sites for example, or to send you communications either about your membership with us or about features of our websites, including future changes to this Privacy Policy. We may use Personal Information to monitor site traffic, to personalise the site and to send emails. We also use Your Personal Information for internal quality assurance purposes.
Usually, Emakhabeleni and its business partners use your information to operate the websites and to deliver services. Emakhabeleni also uses your information to inform you about other products and/or services available from Emakhabeleni from time to time.
