The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. Detailed information on data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.
Data collection on this website
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the “Information about the responsible body” section of this privacy policy.
How do we collect your information?
On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This could be data that you enter in a contact form, for example.
Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is primarily technical data (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior.
What are your rights with regard to your data?
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request that this data be corrected or deleted. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted under certain circumstances. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
You can contact us at any time about this and if you have any further questions about data protection.
Analytical tools and tools from third parties
When you visit this website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with so-called analysis programs.
Detailed information about these analysis programs can be found in the following privacy policy.
2nd hosting
Webflow
We host our website with Webflow. The provider is Webflow, Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (hereinafter Webflow). When you visit our website, Webflow collects various log files, including your IP addresses.
Webflow is a tool for building and hosting websites. Webflow stores cookies or other recognition technologies that are necessary to display the page, to provide certain website functions and to ensure security (necessary cookies).
For details, see Webflow's privacy policy: https://webflow.com/legal/eu-privacy-policy.
Webflow is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website as reliably as possible. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://webflow.com/legal/eu-privacy-policy.
Order processing
We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
3. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
Note on the responsible body
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Ajimba African Tours GmbH
Worpsweder Strasse 32
28215 Bremen
germany
Telephone: +49 421 708 2874
email: [email protected]
The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have any other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis of data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed in accordance with Article 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. We also process your data insofar as it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The following paragraphs of this privacy policy provide information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable with the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the person concerned, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
External links.
For your optimal information, you will find links on our pages that link to third-party sites. If this is not obvious, we would like to point out that this is an external link. This privacy policy does not extend to these other providers. When you leave this website, it is recommended that you carefully read each website's privacy policy first.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU FILE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time about this and if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us for this at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deletion.
- If you have filed an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Objection to promotional emails
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby rejected. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
4. Data collection on this website
Cookies and settings
Our general pages use no analytics cookies or Matomo browser tracker for server-side audience measurement. Technically necessary cookies may still support secure delivery and functions you explicitly request.
If you explicitly change your statistics setting, we store the ajimba_analytics_optout cookie for one year. It contains only your setting, not a visitor identifier, and applies to www.ajimba.com. Storage serves the preference function you requested (section 25(2)(2) TDDDG); your objection is respected under Article 21 GDPR.
Optional services are loaded only on the relevant special pages and following the choice described there. Where consent is required, the legal bases are Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) TDDDG. You can withdraw consent at any time for the future.
You can delete or block stored cookies in your browser. If you delete the preference cookie, your previous statistics objection can no longer be associated with that browser. Please make your choice separately in any other browser.
Consent on special pages
On the campaign page /de/reisen/namibia-selbstfahrerreise-perfekt-geplant, a dedicated notice asks for permission to enable Google advertising measurement. Only after “Accept” do we load Google Tag Manager (GTM-NN6V6B33); the known Google Ads measurement uses AW-764924503. This container is not loaded before consent or following rejection. After a decision, the necessary cookie ajimba_campaign_consent stores your choice for 30 days, restricted to this campaign path and the current host. It contains your choice, time, notice version and page scope, without a random visitor identifier. Storage supports the requested consent-management function (Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG); optional measurement relies on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. You can withdraw consent directly on the campaign page using “Withdraw Google measurement”. The page then reloads without the container; this does not delete data already transmitted or Google cookies. After rejection, “Privacy settings” lets you reopen the choice. This container is not loaded on general pages. Processing by tags configured in the container is governed by the respective services.
Google Ads measures campaign performance. After consent, technical information, IP address, page views, ad-click identifiers and cookie identifiers may be transmitted to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Processing in the USA is possible. Google describes processing at policies.google.com/privacy and cookie lifetimes at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies. According to Google, measurement cookies with the _gcl_ prefix typically last 90 days. The configuration actually used is decisive.
Cloudflare: delivery and data preparation
We use Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, for website delivery and preparation of the statistics described below. Cloudflare processes connection data including your full IP address. Only the statistical data subsequently transmitted to Matomo contains the shortened address. Reliable delivery is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Cloudflare’s Self-Serve agreement incorporates its Data Processing Addendum. Processing may take place outside the EEA; the addendum provides in particular for EU standard contractual clauses. Details: www.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-customer-dpa/ and www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- host name of the accessing computer
- Time of server request
- IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website — for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we will store your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
5. Analysis tools and advertising
Matomo: server-side audience measurement
We use Matomo on our hosting at checkdomain to understand and improve usage and the technical quality of our service. Collection takes place server-side when regular HTML pages are delivered. No Matomo JavaScript is loaded in your browser and no analytics cookie is set for this purpose. No additional device properties are read in your browser for this measurement. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our interest is data-minimised audience measurement.
Matomo receives the page path, time, information from the User-Agent already transmitted with the request, a shortened IP address and, where available, the country. URL parameters, fragments, form data and page contents are not transmitted to Matomo. External referrers are reduced to their origin, internal ones to a cleaned path. Form, payment and other sensitive paths are excluded. We do not use these statistics to create advertising profiles or combine them with contact details.
Automatic deletion after 90 days is configured for individual visit and action data; cleanup is scheduled daily. Aggregated monthly and yearly reports and basic metrics remain for long-term trends. You can object to collection for the future using the statistics settings below. Your choice applies to the current browser. Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control, existing Matomo objections and previous CookieScript statistics refusals are respected. A new explicit choice can replace your previous CookieScript statistics choice. Alternatively, contact [email protected].
Shortened IP address and daily changing identifier
Cloudflare generates a daily changing pseudonymous identifier from the full IP address, User-Agent, UTC date and a secret key to group page views within a day. Matomo receives only this identifier and the shortened IP address: only the first two blocks are retained for both IPv4 and IPv6. Cloudflare processes the full IP address before shortening it. This is pseudonymisation, not a guarantee of complete anonymity. Persistent recognition across multiple days is not intended.
hosting
We host Matomo with the following third-party provider:
checkdomain GmbH
A dogado group company
Große Burgstraße 27/29
23552 Luebeck
Telephone: +49 (0) 451/70 99 70
Fax: +49 (0) 451/70 99 727
email: [email protected]
Order processing
We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
6th newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The data entered in the newsletter subscription form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter mailing list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, we or the newsletter service provider may store your e-mail address in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
7. Plug-ins and tools
Fonts
We provide the “Aw open sans” font through our website host, Webflow. Your browser loads the font files from our website host’s infrastructure to display text consistently.
When these files are requested, technically necessary connection data, including your IP address, is transmitted to our website host, as when other parts of our website are loaded.
If the font files cannot be loaded, your browser uses an available system font.
For further information about data processing when visiting our website, please see the “Hosting” section of this privacy policy.
