Disclosures of Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with external third parties & internal third parties within us for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

External Third Parties

Service providers acting as processors based [specify location] who provide IT and system administration services.

Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers based in Morocco who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, and accounting services.

HM Revenue & Customs, regulators, and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in Morocco who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

International Transfers

We share your personal data within the Dunes Safari Tour SARL company. This will involve transferring your data outside the country.

We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our business partners to follow the same rules when processing your personal data. These rules are called “binding corporate rules.”

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to:

Request Access to Your Personal Data

Request access to your personal data (known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request Correction of Your Personal Data

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request Erasure of Your Personal Data

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing your personal data.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request transfer of your personal data.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Right to withdraw consent.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

How to Exercise Your Rights

If you wish to exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us using the contact details provided. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it might take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page. We may also decide to notify you in other ways about the processing of your personal information, but posting on our website is always a method we will use.
