Casart Game Lodge (Pty) Ltd (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the Casart Game Lodge website. Since our website is a part of our IT infrastructure, we prefer to use the term “Service” to include all functionality that links to and from our website. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information when you use our Service.

This page is last updated 1st July 2021 due to the POPI act (South Africa) coming into effect.

General

By using this Service, you understand and agree to the terms of this policy. The Service is intended for international use and is available in three languages.

Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside South Africa and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the information, including Personal Information, to South Africa and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

For data protection purposes, Casart Game Lodge Guesthouse is the controller and, unless otherwise noted, is also the processor of data. Information collected may be retained indefinitely, and may be stored, processed, accessed, and used in jurisdictions whose privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home jurisdiction.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection and privacy laws. This privacy policy tells you about our online collection and use of data. The terms of this policy apply to this website (“Service”) and are subject to the our Terms and Conditions of Use, unless different terms are specified in a form or contract provided to you by Casart Game Lodge Guesthouse either online or offline.

We do not intend to offer services to or solicit or collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you should not use or enter information on this Service.

Data collection on our Service

The following gives an overview of what happens to your personal information when you visit our Service. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy below.

When you visit this Service, certain kinds of information, such as the website that referred you to us, your IP address, browser type and language, and access times, may be collected automatically as part of the Service’s operation. We may also collect navigational information, including information about the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in connection with the Service.

We may combine your visit and navigational information with personal information that you provide. You may always choose not to provide personal information, but, if you so choose, certain services may not be available to you.

Personal information (e.g., your name and contact details) is collected when you choose to interact with us via the Service such as, for example, contacting us or requesting information.

Data provided to us, is collected in our system. For example this could be data you enter on a contact form or an email sent to us.

We do not support Do Not Track (“DNT”). Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

Analytics and advertising

Our Service uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program. Their advertisement policy can be found at https://support.google.com/adspolicy/

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.

Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimize both its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our Servce or other websites.
