Privacy Policy

The amena-africa.com (hereinafter; AMENA AFRICA) Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that you may provide via the amena-africa.com website. Whenever you use this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Ways that amena-africa.com collects information

Some areas of the site require you to actively submit information in order for you to benefit from specific features (such as “contact us” section). You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional.

Some of this information may be personal (information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, email address, brief statement about yourself/company).

AMENA AFRICA only collects such information when you choose to supply it to them.

Information is also gathered without you actively providing it, through the use of various technologies and methods such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and cookies. These methods do not collect or store personal information.

An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you can access the internet. It is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user’s computer).

AMENA AFRICA uses your IP address to diagnose problems with their server, report aggregate information, and determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to the site, and to administer and improve the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Web statistics

AMENA AFRICA uses log files generated by the web servers to analyse site usage and statistics but the files do not identify any personal information. Log file analysis helps us to understand usage patterns on the website and to make improvements to the service.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Disclosure

Except as otherwise stated, we may use information you provide via this site to improve the content, to customise the site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for internal marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.

AMENA AFRICA does not disclose any information you provide via the site to any third parties or other Government departments except where:

• such disclosures are necessary to fulfil AMENA AFRICA service obligations to you, in which case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy
• required by applicable laws, courts orders, or Government regulations (for example, to prevent or detect crime)
• you give AMENA AFRICA permission to do so
