Privacy Policy

General notes

Twende Tanzania Safari GmbH, Abendweg 25, 6006 Lucerne, Telefon: 041 535 29 97, E-Mail: info@twendetanzania.ch is the operator of the website www.top-care.ch and the services offered on it and is therefore responsible for the collection, processing and use of personal data and the compatibility of data processing with Swiss law.

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and to protection against misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions. In principle, we only collect personal data if it is necessary for the provision of the specific service. Personal data is treated as strictly confidential. Your data will not be passed on unless we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. request by an investigating authority) or entitled to do so (e.g. within the framework of commissioned data processing) or unless you have expressly consented to the passing on of your data to third parties. Data is passed on to third parties in particular if this is necessary for the fulfilment or processing of the contract. Third parties are of course also obliged to protect your data and to use it only for the precisely specified purpose. Furthermore, they are obliged to treat the data in accordance with this data protection declaration and the applicable legal situation. We process personal data for the period of time required for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer retention periods due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we adapt the processing accordingly.

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data whenever you visit our website. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Right to information, deletion, correction and storage of data

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. We would like to point out that we reserve the right to demand proof of identity in this case as well and that in the event of deletion of your data, it will not be possible to use our services or not to the full extent. In this regard, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

Persons about whom we process personal data have a right of appeal to a competent supervisory authority for data protection. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data concerning you for one or more specific purposes at any time if the processing is based on your express consent. An informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Please note that legal retention periods apply to certain data. This data must be stored by us until the expiry of the period. If you have requested their deletion, we will block these data in our system and use them exclusively for the fulfilment of legal obligations.

Amendment of this privacy policy

We reserve the right to adapt the data protection declaration to new circumstances from time to time. Corresponding changes apply with effect for the time after the changes have been posted. Consequently, we recommend that you consult this data protection declaration regularly.

SSL and TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Server log files

During access to our website, the following data is stored in log files: IP address, date, time, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, operating system used, browser type and browser version. This usage data forms the basis for statistical, anonymous evaluations so that trends can be identified, which we can use to improve our offers accordingly.

In close cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as well as possible from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or forgery.

Cookies

These websites partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally and activate the automatic deletion of cookies on closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested are stored.

Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Contact form

If you send us an enquiry via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website. The operator is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data input on our website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated programme. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.

Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager to manage external services. The Tag Manager tool itself is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. Rather, the tool provides for the triggering of other tags, which in turn may collect data (these services are listed in this privacy policy). If you have opted out at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (www.google.com). Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited

Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be sent to a server within member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address is shortened and anonymised beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity to the website operator. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website (More information). You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser-add-on.

Google Ads

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising material on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. Our aim is to show you adverts that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. These adverts are delivered by Google via so-called ad servers. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of adverts or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google advert, Google Ads will store a cookie on your end device. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie. These cookies enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical analyses from Google. These analyses enable us to recognise which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advert from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and save it.
