1. Introduction

Welcome to Edrisa Tours ("Edrisa Tours," "we," "us," or "our").

Edrisa Tours is a privately operated tour-guide business based in The Gambia, West Africa. Our website is primarily an informational and promotional website designed to showcase our tour-guide services, knowledge of The Gambia, available tours and experiences, and to allow prospective visitors to contact us about potential tour arrangements.

We respect the privacy of visitors to our website and are committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through the Edrisa Tours website, how that information may be used, when it may be shared, how it is protected, and the choices that may be available to visitors under applicable privacy laws.

This Privacy Policy is intended to address applicable privacy requirements, including, where applicable, privacy protections under New Jersey law such as the New Jersey Data Privacy Act (NJDPA), N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.4 et seq.
 

2. About the Edrisa Tours Website

The Edrisa Tours website is an informational, promotional, and visitor-inquiry website.

The website is intended to:

• introduce visitors to Edrisa Tours;

• showcase tour-guide services and available trips;

• provide information about destinations, activities, and experiences in The Gambia;

• demonstrate the Tour Guide's local knowledge and expertise; and

• allow visitors to contact Edrisa Tours regarding possible tours and bookings.

The website does not currently:

• require visitors to create an account;

• require visitors to register before browsing;

• provide an online customer-membership system;

• process credit-card or debit-card payments;

• process cryptocurrency payments;

• require payment to submit an inquiry;

• sell tours directly through an online checkout;

• sell visitors' personal information; or

• rent visitors' personal information to advertisers.

A visitor's submission of an inquiry does not itself constitute a confirmed booking. Any tour arrangement, availability, price, payment arrangement, meeting arrangements, or other contractual terms may be discussed and agreed separately between the visitor and Edrisa Tours.
 

3. Information We May Collect

Visitors may browse the website without voluntarily providing personal information.

If you choose to contact Edrisa Tours through the website or otherwise communicate with us regarding a potential tour, we may receive information that you voluntarily provide, such as:

• your name;

• email address;

• telephone number or messaging number;

• country or general location;

• preferred travel dates;

• number of travelers;

• preferred tours or activities;

• questions or comments;

• information concerning your proposed travel plans; and

• other information you voluntarily include in your communication.

You are not required to provide personal information merely to browse the general informational content of the website.

Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive personal information through the website's general contact forms or email.
 

4. Automatically Collected Technical Information

Because Edrisa Tours uses the Wix website platform, certain technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the website.

Depending on the Wix configuration and features installed on the website, this may include information such as:

• general website-usage information;

• technical information relating to website performance and security; and

Additional cookies may be introduced by particular Wix features, applications, analytics services, or third-party integrations. WWix Support+1

We may use automatically collected information for purposes such as maintaining and securing the website, detecting technical problems, understanding general website traffic, and improving the website.
 

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Edrisa Tours website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small data files or identifiers that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function properly, maintain security, or provide requested website functionality.

Depending on the features enabled on the Edrisa Tours website, additional cookies may be used for analytics, visitor preferences, or other website functions.

Wix provides tools through its Privacy & Cookies settings that allow website owners to provide cookie notices and, where appropriate, allow visitors to accept or decline non-essential cookies. WWix Support+1

Edrisa Tours does not use cookies for the purpose of selling visitors' personal information.

You may also control certain cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.
 

6. Wix as Our Website Platform

The Edrisa Tours website is hosted and operated using Wix.

Wix provides the website infrastructure and related services through which the Edrisa Tours website operates. Information relating to visitors may therefore be processed by Wix as part of providing those services.

Wix publishes its own privacy policy describing how Wix processes personal information in connection with its services. Visitors who wish to understand Wix's independent privacy practices should review Wix's current privacy documentation. Wwix.com

Edrisa Tours does not control all information that Wix may process as a technology and hosting provider.

Edrisa Tours does not require a visitor to make a payment in order to submit a website inquiry.
 

8. No Online Payment Processing

Edrisa Tours does not currently accept or require digital payments through this website.

The website does not currently collect:

• credit-card numbers;

• debit-card numbers;

• online banking credentials;

• cryptocurrency payment information; or

• other payment credentials through an online checkout.

If a visitor and Edrisa Tours subsequently agree to a tour, any payment arrangements may be discussed separately.

If online payment functionality is introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be reviewed and updated as appropriate.
 

9. How We Use Personal Information

Personal information may be used for legitimate business and communication purposes, including:

• responding to inquiries;

• discussing potential tours;

• communicating about travel dates;

• responding to questions;

• providing information requested by visitors;

• arranging or discussing potential tour services;

• improving the website and visitor experience; and

• complying with applicable legal obligations.

We seek to use personal information only for legitimate purposes consistent with the reason it was provided and applicable law.
 

10. We Do Not Sell Personal Information

Edrisa Tours does not sell, rent, or commercially trade visitors' personal information.

We do not sell personal information to data brokers.

We do not currently use visitors' personal information for targeted advertising based on the sale of that information.

If our practices materially change in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate.
 

11. When We May Share Information

Personal information may be shared in limited circumstances, including:

• when necessary to respond to your inquiry;

• when necessary to provide a requested service;

• with service providers that help operate, secure, host, maintain, or communicate through the website;

• when you request or authorize the disclosure;

• where reasonably necessary to protect the website or prevent fraud or abuse;

• when required by applicable law or valid legal process; or

• where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Edrisa Tours, its visitors, or another person.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their own unrelated marketing purposes.
 

12. Third-Party Services

The Edrisa Tours website may contain or use third-party services, applications, links, or integrations.

Depending on the website's configuration, these may include website-security services, analytics services, social-media integrations, maps, video services, contact-form tools, or other third-party technologies.

Third-party services may collect or process information independently under their own privacy policies.

Wix specifically notes that third-party applications and integrations may place additional cookies or use tracking technologies on a Wix website. WWix Support

Edrisa Tours does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.
 

13. Data Minimization

Edrisa Tours seeks to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Visitors should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through the website.

In particular, visitors should not submit through a general contact form:

• passwords;

• credit-card information;

• bank-account credentials;

• government identification numbers;

• passport information;

• financial-account credentials; or

• other highly sensitive information

unless specifically requested through an appropriate and secure process.
 

14. Retention of Personal Information

Edrisa Tours retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, discussing or providing tour services, maintaining reasonable business records, resolving disputes, protecting legal rights, preventing fraud, and complying with applicable legal obligations.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, Edrisa Tours may delete it, securely dispose of it, or anonymize it where appropriate.
 

15. Security

Edrisa Tours takes reasonable precautions designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no website, email system, electronic communication, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, although we take reasonable measures to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
 

16. International Data Processing

Edrisa Tours is based in The Gambia.

Because the website uses Wix and may use other third-party technology providers, information submitted through the website may potentially be processed or stored in countries other than The Gambia, including countries where Edrisa Tours' technology or service providers operate.

By voluntarily submitting information through the website, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to or processed in another country, subject to applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.
 

17. New Jersey Residents

Edrisa Tours is based in The Gambia and is not a New Jersey business.

The New Jersey Data Privacy Act ("NJDPA") applies only when its statutory requirements are satisfied. Merely being accessible on the Internet to a person located in New Jersey does not, by itself, establish that the NJDPA applies to Edrisa Tours.

Nevertheless, Edrisa Tours seeks to provide transparent information concerning the handling of personal information and does not intend this Privacy Policy to limit any rights that a visitor may have under applicable New Jersey law.

To the extent that the NJDPA or another applicable New Jersey privacy law applies to Edrisa Tours' processing of your personal information, you may have rights provided by that law, subject to applicable exceptions and verification requirements.

These may include rights concerning:

• confirmation of whether personal information is being processed;

• access to personal information;

• correction of inaccurate personal information;

• deletion of personal information;

• obtaining a copy of certain personal information in a portable format; and

• opting out of certain processing activities where a statutory right to opt out applies.

Edrisa Tours does not sell visitors' personal information.
 

18. Privacy Requests

If you have a question, concern, or privacy request concerning personal information that Edrisa Tours may hold about you, please contact:

Edrisa Tours
Email: helloedrisatours@gmail.com

Please describe your request sufficiently for us to understand and respond to it.

Where reasonably necessary or required by applicable law, we may request information necessary to verify the identity of the person making a request.

We will handle qualifying privacy requests in accordance with applicable law.
 

19. Privacy Appeals

If applicable law provides you with a right to appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, you may submit an appeal by contacting:

Edrisa Tours
Email: helloedrisatours@gmail.com

Please identify the original request and explain why you believe the decision should be reconsidered.

Where a particular law establishes a specific appeals procedure or deadline, Edrisa Tours will follow the applicable requirements.
 

20. Children's Privacy

The Edrisa Tours website is intended for a general audience.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the website.

If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information to Edrisa Tours without appropriate authorization, please contact us at helloedrisatours@gmail.com.

Where appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to review and delete such information.
 

21. External Links

The Edrisa Tours website may contain links to external websites, social-media platforms, tourism resources, accommodation providers, transportation providers, or other third-party websites.

When you leave the Edrisa Tours website, the privacy practices of the third-party website will apply.

Edrisa Tours is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or data practices of external websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party website before submitting personal information.
 

22. Social Media and Messaging Services

Visitors may have the option to contact Edrisa Tours through third-party services such as social-media or messaging platforms.

If you choose to communicate with Edrisa Tours through such a service, the information you provide may also be processed by that third-party provider under its own terms and privacy policy.

Edrisa Tours does not control how independent social-media or messaging providers process information.

Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information through social-media or messaging platforms unless necessary.
 

23. Accuracy of Information Provided

Visitors are encouraged to provide accurate information when contacting Edrisa Tours.

If you provide information about another traveler, you should do so only when you have appropriate authority or another lawful basis to provide that information.

Edrisa Tours does not intentionally seek unnecessary personal information about other individuals.

Updates may be made when:
