Below is a summary of our policy.

What personal information do we collect?
In general, when you visit our Web Site and access information you remain anonymous. Before we ask you for information, we will explain how this information will be used. We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies or individuals without your permission.

Some of our sites require registration to access, although typically all that is requested is an email address and some basic information about you. There are occasions where we will ask for additional information. We do this to be able to better understand your needs, and provide you with services that we believe may be valuable to you. Some examples of information this Web Site collect are name, email, street address and personal info. We give you the opportunity to choose not to receive marketing materials from us.

If you sign up for Discovery Overland Holidays's electronic newsletter, each message will include instructions on how to "unsubscribe" from the mailing list.

Protecting your privacy
We will take appropriate steps to protect your privacy. Whenever you provide sensitive information (for example, a credit card number to make a purchase), we will take reasonable steps to protect it, such as encrypting your card number. We will also take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information in storage. Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing and are not retained for marketing purposes.

We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies or individuals without your permission.

Our Web Site provides links to other web sites. Since we do not control those web sites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of those web sites.

Cookies
Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our Web Site. Our Web Site requires the use of cookies purely for programming purposes. We use cookies as a mechanism to remember the information that is selected from one page to another. This allows you to leave a search page with information you have selected, come back later, and still have the search preferences intact. If you switch off your cookies, you will still be able to browse the site without problems.

Discovery Overland Holidays will not provide your personal information to anyone outside of Discovery Overland except in the limited circumstances mentioned, and only then with your consent.

However, Discovery Overland Holidays cannot control the practices of other partners and advertisers. If you have provided personal information to a party or advertiser connected with Discovery Overland Holidays and have not been informed by Discovery Overland Holidays as to its purpose, contact them directly by going to their home page and looking for a company profile or information area.

It is important to note that Discovery Overland Holidays contains many links to web sites other than Discovery Overland Holidays, and that those web sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Discovery Overland Holidays. For instance, if you click an advertisement or a search result on Discovery Overland Holidays, this will take you away from Discovery Overland Holidays and to an entirely different web site. This includes links from advertisers, content providers and partners who may use Discovery Overland Holidays's logo and/or style as part of a co-branding agreement. These web sites may send their own cookies to you, and as a result, may collect data and ask for personal information that Discovery Overland Holidays would not informed.

Kids and privacy
Discovery Overland Holidays requests that children under 18 do not submit or post any information to this Web Site without parent's or guardian's consent. However, we will not request or knowingly collect from a child any information online that can be traced to the child, such as an email address, name, or information about the child's family.

Unless parent or guardian consents to such use in advance, Discovery Overland Holidays will not knowingly use information that a child provides to Discovery Overland Holidays for any marketing, selling or promotional purposes.

Changes to policy
Discovery Overland Holidays reserves the right to change this policy at any time by notifying guests of the existence of a revised privacy policy.
