This Privacy Policy explains how Lake Manyara National Park (lakemanyara.net), referred to here as “we”, “us” or “this website”, handles information when you visit our site or get in touch with us. We keep data collection to a minimum and only use what we need to run the website and respond to enquiries.
Who we are
Lake Manyara National Park is an independent travel information website that publishes guides, wildlife information and safari planning advice about Lake Manyara and northern Tanzania. We are not a government body or a park authority. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA). See our Disclaimer for more on this.
Information we collect
- Enquiry and contact details. If you use a contact or safari-planning form, or email us, we receive the name, email address and message you choose to send so we can reply.
- Newsletter sign-ups. If you subscribe, we store the email address you provide until you unsubscribe.
- Usage and device data. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools automatically record standard technical information such as your browser type, approximate location, referring page and the pages you view. This is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used.
- Cookies. We use a small number of cookies for basic site functionality and anonymous analytics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work.
How we use your information
- To respond to your questions and safari-planning requests.
- To send our newsletter, where you have asked to receive it.
- To maintain, secure and improve the website and its content.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making.
Third parties and external links
When you ask us to help plan a trip, we may pass your enquiry to independent safari operators or lodges so they can quote you directly. Those companies are separate businesses with their own privacy practices. Our site also links to external websites, including operators, booking platforms and reference sources, which we do not control and which have their own policies. Please review the privacy policy of any third-party site before submitting information to it.
Data retention
We keep enquiry and subscription data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was given, or as required to keep basic business records, and then delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information you have given us, or unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. To make a request, please use our contact page.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
