Africam Privacy Policy

 

Welcome to the Africam.com website. Because your privacy is very important to us, we want you to understand our practices with regard to collecting and using your information both online and offline and the steps we take to safeguard it. The Africam.com website and any other Africam website, mobile application, or application programming interface displaying this Privacy Policy and each of their components and subdomains and mobile versions if any, and the services, products and networks found at or related thereto (collectively referred to as the “Site”) are owned and operated by CLP Investments No 22 (“Africam”).

This Privacy Policy applies to Personally Identifiable Information collected from our visitors. When this Privacy Policy uses the term “Personally Identifiable Information” it refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify and contact you. When you register to become a registered user of the Site, you will be asked to provide certain Personally Identifiable Information such as your name, email address, and password. With this information, we can fill certain of your requests and better provide you with personalized services.

“Non-Personally Identifiable Information” refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself. This information may be compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website from which you just came, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the Internet. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the Internet. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet, allowing Internet servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

We welcome any and all questions and feedback. For privacy-related issues, please contact us at info@africam.com.

These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g. click stream information, web browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to the Site and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie to collect this information.
