Privacy policy

Website visitors

Like most website operators, VTT collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. VTT’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how VTT’s visitors use its website. From time to time, VTT may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website

VTT also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on valentinetoursandtravel.com blogs/sites. VTT only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of personal information

Certain visitors to VTT’s websites choose to interact with VTT in ways that require VTT to gather personal information. The amount and type of information that VTT gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at valentinetoursandtravel.com to provide a name and email address. Those who engage in transactions with VTT are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, VTT collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with VTT. VTT does not disclose personally information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated statistics

VTT may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. VTT may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, VTT does not disclose personally information other than as described below.

Protection of personal data

VTT discloses personal information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on VTT’s behalf or to provide services available at VTT’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using  VTT’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. VTT will not rent or sell personal information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, VTT discloses personal information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when VTT believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of VTT, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an VTT website and have supplied your email address, VTT may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with VTT and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. VTT takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of personal information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. VTT uses cookies to help VTT identify and track visitors, their usage of VTT website, and their website access preferences. VTT visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using VTTs websites, with the drawback that certain features of VTT’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies

Business transfers

If VTT, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that VTT goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of  VTT may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Medical requirements

Good physical and mental health is essential for the enjoyment of these active, outdoors tours. You may travel in rugged areas removed from modern medical facilities. Good physical conditioning is recommended as preparation for all tours, especially those involving trekking.

By forwarding the deposit, the passenger certifies that he/she does not have any physical or other condition of disability that would create a hazard for him/herself or other passengers. It is essential that any participant with a medical condition requiring regular treatment or which may be affected by vigorous activity, high altitude, heat, cold, other natural phenomenon, or particular foods, notifies us and the tour leaders, in writing in advance of travel.

We assume no liability for medical care nor for special dietary requirements if not informed long in advance. The medical requirements by some places like Ngamba Island is a sole responsibility of the client to meet them. We bring Ngamba Island and the client in direct contact so that he is furnished with what is required of him before walking with the chimps.

All references to quotations in writing shall include reference to correspondence by facsimile and electronic mail. The price of your chosen holiday will be confirmed at the time of booking. We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices and will do so as soon as we become aware of any such error. However, every care is taken to ensure that we provide right figures.
