You represent and warrant to us that you have obtained all required consents and are fully authorized to disclose all personal information you provide to us including without limitation the personal information of your friends and family members provided in connection with making travel bookings.

WHY DO WE COLLECT, USE, HOLD AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION? 

We collect personal information about you so that we can perform our business activities and functions and to provide the best possible quality of customer service.

We may collect, hold, use and disclose your information for the following purposes:

  • administering services we are providing to you such as arranging your tour booking

  • assisting with advanced passenger data. In particular, some countries will only permit travel if you provide your advance passenger data. These requirements may differ depending upon your destination and you are advised to check. Even if not mandatory, we may exercise our discretion to assist where appropriate

  • managing our relationship with you, including updates about your tour booking and handling complaints

  • to contact you in the event of an emergency

  • combining information collected from you at different times for the purpose of research and analysis to provide a better customer experience, including customizing online content for you

  • to identify and tell you about services we think you may be interested in, including sending email newsletters or sending printed materials to your postal address, and

  • providing relevant information, which may include sensitive personal information, to insurers, their agents, and medical staff in circumstances where we/they need to act on your behalf or in the interest of passengers or in an emergency.

  • to make improvements to our site(s) and make it easier to find the information you are looking for

  • for identification of fraud or error or for regulatory reporting and compliance

When you provide your email address to Jungle Land Panama to make an online booking, your contact details may be retained even if the transaction is not completed. These details are captured using a secure service. This is so we can assist you in the future with online bookings, and as a result of this, you may receive a follow-up inquiry email. This email will contain information on what action, if any, you

can choose that will direct us to cease any further contact with you or destroy the personal information we have collected about you.

We are only permitted to store your personal information for as long as necessary having regard to the purposes for which it was collected or a related or ancillary purpose. We may therefore delete your personal information after a reasonable period of time and, if you have not used our services for some time, you may have to re-enter or re-supply your personal information to us.

We will not disclose your personal information otherwise than as described in this Privacy Policy without your consent unless we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a threat to life, health, or safety or for a certain action to be undertaken by an enforcement body (e.g. prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offenses), disclosure is authorized or required by law or disclosure is otherwise permitted by applicable privacy laws.

WHO DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION TO? 

We may disclose your personal information as follows:

  • We may share your personal information inside Jungle Land Panama and to our related entities for the purposes of providing products or services to you, research, and marketing purposes. Any marketing purposes will be conducted in accordance with our ‘Marketing and Privacy’ statement below.

  • We may disclose your personal information to our employees, contractors, or third-party service providers located in Panama for the purposes of the operation of our website or our business, fulfilling requests by you, managing your bookings, responding to your inquiries, and otherwise provide products and services to you, including, without limitation, to tour companies, travel agencies, web hosting providers, IT systems administrators, mailing houses, couriers, payment processors, data entry service providers, electronic network administrators, debt collectors, and professional advisors such as accountants, solicitors, business advisors, and consultants.

  • We may disclose your personal information to external parties for research purposes and to identify other services you may be interested in, in accordance with our ‘Marketing and Privacy’ statement below.

  • We may share information with third parties in limited circumstances without your consent where we reasonably believe the disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a threat to life, health or safety, or for a certain activity to be undertaken by an enforcement body (e.g. prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offences), where disclosure is authorized or required by law or disclosure is otherwise permitted by applicable privacy laws.

  • Where you provide us personal information for the purposes of booking travel-related services on your behalf or on behalf of another person, we must provide such personal information to the travel providers you have selected for the purposes of completing the booking. We have no control over how travel providers use, disclose or store personal information. Please ensure you agree with the privacy practices of the travel providers you select prior to providing us your personal information for the purposes of booking travel-related services with such travel providers. You acknowledge and agree that we provide your personal information to such travel providers solely as your agent and not as the principal holder and we will not be required to ensure their compliance with applicable privacy laws, this privacy policy or otherwise be liable or accountable for your personal information including without limitation their use and disclosure of your personal information.
     

SECURITY INFORMATION 

Jungle Land Panama has implemented various physical, electronic and managerial security procedures in order to protect personal information from loss and misuse, and from unauthorized access, modification, disclosure and interference. Jungle Land Panama regularly reviews security and encryption technologies and will strive to protect your personal information as fully as we protect our own confidential information.

Credit card security

  • All online payments are transmitted over a secure socket layer (SSL) connection.

  • Credit card information is transmitted immediately to a payment gateway solution via an encrypted port.

  • Jungle Land Panama does not store your credit card number in any of our systems, it is used only within the context of the transaction then destroyed upon receipt from an acquiring bank.

  • All credit card payments receive an identification number that is proof of the transaction’s acceptance into the banking system. This identification number can be used to trace any transaction back to the credit card issuer (for example, the bank that issued the MasterCard, or VISA credit card).

  • Personal information is destroyed or de-identified when no longer needed.

Whilst we take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is secure, as the internet is inherently insecure, any personal information or other information you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk.

YOUR PREFERENCES

We offer you choices when we ask for personal information, whenever reasonably possible. You have the option of dealing anonymously with us, either on our websites or through other methods. There will be circumstances where this is not possible in order to complete your request. You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features or services may not function properly as a result. For example, if you do not provide us with the personal information described above, some or all of the following may happen:

  • we may not be able to provide the requested products or services to you, either to the same standard or at all;

  • we may not be able to provide you with information about products and services that you may want, including information about discounts, sales or special promotions; or

  • we may be unable to tailor the content of our websites to your preferences and your experience of our websites may not be as enjoyable or useful.
