Privacy statement

At My Monkey Guide we take data protection seriously and therefore your personal data is treated confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation. In the following we will show you to what extent and for what purpose we process the personal data of customers using the website.

I. PURPOSE OF DATA PROTECTION

The object of data protection is personal data. Data is personal if it can be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information on names, addresses, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers.

II. COLLECTION, PROCESSING AND USE OF PERSONAL DATA ON REQUEST

You can normally use our website and our application without providing any personal data. You are not obliged to visit this website or to provide any personal data. If you do not provide us with your personal data, you may not be able to use some functions of this website. Otherwise, you will not suffer any other consequences. The collection of personal data from users on our site always occurs on a voluntary basis, except in the cases described below. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
 

We collect, process and use the personal data provided by you when making a reservation or registering an account in our member area to the extent necessary in each case for the following purposes:

1. Registration and execution of the contract

"Data that you provide when you create an account, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mobile phone number, address and other data that will be provided depending on the service you use.
"We collect, process and use transactional data related to your activities on the websites (e.g., purchases, content that you generate or that relates to your account).
"Billing data and other data that you provide for purchasing
"Data collected in the context of reviews, chats and correspondence on the Website or by email, fax and post
"Other personal data that we may ask you to provide for special purposes
"If you voluntarily provide us with additional personal data during registration, this data will also be used for the implementation of the usage relationship.

2. Establishing contact

If you provide us with personal data for contact purposes, we will use this data as necessary for the purpose of the respective communication.

3. Marketing

MyMonkeyGuide may process and use your personal data for marketing purposes, e.g. to send general information or advertising e-mails (newsletter) on the basis of the declaration of consent you have given us.
You may revoke any statements of consent you have given us in this regard at any time with effect for the future. If you wish to stop receiving such e-mails sent by MyMonkeyGuide, please follow the instructions contained in any such e-mail we send you, which will allow you to unsubscribe and stop receiving these types of e-mail communication from us. In addition, you may object to this use, provided that we use your personal data within the permissible legal framework, e.g. for marketing purposes by post. In both cases, an e-mail to the following address is sufficient: administracion@mymonkeyguide.com.

4. Information you provide to payment processors

All payments made are processed through a payment processing service contracted by MyMonkeyGuide and are PCI/DSS compliant (which are security standards in the card payment industry). Any information collected by these third party providers for the purposes of processing your payments is not available to us unless you have otherwise provided this information to us in connection with your use of the websites or our products and services.

5. Aggregate information

We may share your information with affiliated or unaffiliated third parties on an anonymous, aggregated basis. Although this information will not personally identify you, in some cases these third parties may combine this aggregated information with other information they have about you, or receive from third parties, in a way that allows them to personally identify you.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a particular website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises such a cookie. Cookies are largely used to make our website work or to make it work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies can tell us, for example, if you have visited our website before or if you are a new visitor. They can also help ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

Other cookies are persistent cookies, which means that they are stored on your computer or mobile device for a fixed period of time and are not deleted when you close your browser. They can be used by our website to recognise your computer or mobile device when you open your browser or browse the internet again.

VIII. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

If you are resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), our processing of your personal information will be lawful as follows:
(i.) Where we require your consent to the processing of your personal information, such processing will be justified in accordance with Article 6(1) lit. (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"). This Article of the GDPR describes when processing may be lawfully carried out.
(ii.) If the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and MyMonkeyGuide or for taking pre-contractual measures following your request, such processing shall be based on Article 6(1) lit. (b) of the GDPR. If this data is not processed, MyMonkeyGuide will not be able to perform the contract with you.
(iii.) Where the processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation, we will process your information on the basis of Article 6(1) lit. (c) of the GDPR, for example, for the purposes of compliance in the fields of employment law.
(iv.) And where processing is necessary for the purposes of MyMonkeyGuide's legitimate interests, such processing will be carried out in accordance with Article 6(1) lit. (f) of the GDPR, e.g. for fraud detection.

IX. SOCIAL NETWORKS

Our website contains links to social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, LinkedIn). These social networks are operated exclusively by third parties. If you follow the links, information may be transmitted to these third parties. We use the so-called "2-click" method. This means, in general, that no personal data will be passed on to others if you visit our site.

X. TRANSFER TO THIRD PARTIES

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is legally permitted or if you have given your prior consent. In particular, we will not sell your data to third parties or market it in any other way. We will only disclose your data to governmental authorities as part of legal obligations or as a result of an official order or court ruling. We are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our employees and partners and to comply with data protection regulations.

XI. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES

Except as set out in this Privacy Statement or where you specifically agree, we will not disclose personal information we collect from you to third parties unless we are required to share this information to complete your request or for legitimate business purposes. MyMonkeyGuide shares personal information in the following circumstances:
We may share your information with vendors or third parties who provide or supply goods and services or who otherwise act on behalf of or under the instructions of MyMonkeyGuide . These third parties may include, for example, our third party (technology) providers, operators and partners. These third party service providers will only have access to the information necessary to perform these limited functions on our behalf.

XII. TRANSMISSION OF DATA TO COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE EU

Insofar as this is necessary to initiate or perform the contract (e.g. to process bookings for activities in countries outside the EU), we will transfer your data outside the EU. The same applies if such transmission proves to be necessary for our purposes. In this respect, we ensure that the recipient of the data guarantees an adequate level of data protection and that no other interests worthy of protection conflict with the transfer of data. MyMonkeyGuide relies on derogations as stipulated in Article 49 of the GDPR in the event that there is no adequacy finding and no other safeguards are in place under the GDPR (e.g. binding corporate rules on transfer outside the EEA). In particular, we collect and transfer to countries outside the EU only with your explicit consent, to perform a contract with you and in a way that does not override your rights and freedoms. If this data is not processed and transferred, MyMonkeyGuide will not be able to perform the contract with you or you will not have access to any of the benefits and features associated with your transaction. We strive to implement appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and use it only in a manner consistent with your relationship with MyMonkeyGuide and the practices described in this Privacy Statement. Should you have any questions in this regard, please contact our data protection officer.

XIII. DELETION OF DATA

We retain data for the duration of your business relationship with us and as otherwise required by applicable law. Personal data will not be retained for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was processed. We will retain your personal data for as long as you have a member account or require our services in order to provide those services to you.
If you are in the European Economic Area, at the time you withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data all your personal data that we have received and stored will be erased if we no longer need it, unless we are required to retain this personal data by law or to comply with our regulatory obligations. In such a case, we will only keep this personal data for as long as necessary. For information on where and for how long your personal data is stored, and for information on your rights to erasure and portability, please contact our data protection resource at administracion@mymonkeyguide.com..

MyMonkeyGuide has taken the necessary technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data provided by you against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorised use. Our employees and all persons involved in data processing are obliged to comply with data protection laws and to treat personal data confidentially. Our employees have been trained accordingly. Both internal and external audits guarantee compliance with all data protection processes at MyMonkeyGuide.
We use a secure online transmission procedure, the so-called secure server transmission, or "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL), to protect the personal data of our users. This is evidenced by the "s" (https://) being added to the http:// component of an address, or by an icon with a closed green padlock being displayed. By clicking on the icon, you will receive information about the SSL certificate used. The display of the icon depends on the browser version you are using. SSL encryption ensures that your data is transmitted in an encrypted and complete manner.
