Our website address is: https://dodotrips.com

DodoTrips is based in Quatre Bornes, Mauritius.

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, why we collect it, how we use it and what choices and rights you may have.

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We may collect personal information when you browse our website, contact us, register for an account, submit a business listing or interact with our website features.

The information collected depends on the features you use.

Information You Provide to Us

Depending on the form or service, this may include:

• Your name and username.

• Your email address and telephone number.

• Information included in messages or enquiries.

• Account registration and profile information.

• Business names, addresses, contact details, website links and social media links submitted for directory listings.

• Business descriptions, services, photographs and other listing information.

• Comments, reviews or other content you submit, where these features are available.

We use this information to manage accounts, process business listing submissions, respond to enquiries, maintain our directory and provide the services you request.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for a specific service and you are authorised to provide it.

Business Listings and Public Information

DodoTrips allows businesses to be discovered by visitors looking for services and experiences in Mauritius.

If you submit a business listing, the information selected for publication may be displayed publicly on our website. This may include the business name, description, business address, telephone number, email address, website, photographs, opening hours and other business details you provide.

Publicly displayed information may be viewed, copied or indexed by search engines and other third parties.

Only submit information that you are authorised to publish. If you manage a business listing and wish to correct or remove information, please contact us.

Contact Forms and Enquiries

When you contact DodoTrips through a contact form or another communication channel, we may collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number and message.

We use this information to respond to your enquiry, provide assistance and maintain relevant communication records.

If you use contact information displayed on a business listing to contact that business directly, the business may process your information under its own privacy practices.

Technical and Usage Information

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be recorded automatically by WordPress, our hosting provider or security services. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, access times and security-related log information.

We use this information where necessary to operate the website, diagnose technical issues, protect against spam or abuse and help maintain website security.

Comments and Reviews

If comments or reviews are enabled, we may collect the information entered in the submission form, together with technical information such as your IP address and browser user-agent string to assist with spam prevention.

If a comment or review is published, the content and any associated display information may be visible to other visitors.

Media Uploads

If our website allows you to upload images, please ensure that you have permission to upload and publish them.

Before uploading photographs, consider removing embedded location information, such as GPS metadata, if that information is not intended to be public.

Images published on public listings may be viewed or downloaded by visitors.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functions, remember preferences, maintain logged-in sessions and improve security.

Depending on the features enabled, cookies may be used for purposes such as:

• Maintaining account sessions and login status.

• Remembering selected preferences.

• Supporting comment or form functionality.

• Preventing spam and protecting the website.

• Measuring website usage, where analytics tools are enabled.

Third-party services embedded on our website may also use their own cookies or tracking technologies.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect login, forms or other website functionality.

The cookies used on DodoTrips depend on the active WordPress theme, plugins and third-party services.

4. Analytics

If analytics tools are enabled on DodoTrips, they may collect information about how visitors use our website, including pages visited, approximate location, device information and interactions.

We use this information to understand website usage and improve our content and services.

Where applicable, the privacy practices and available opt-out choices of the analytics provider will also apply.

The name of the analytics provider and any relevant consent or opt-out options should be identified here when those tools are configured.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some pages or articles may include embedded content, such as videos, maps, photographs, social media posts or other external material.

Embedded content from another website may behave as though you visited that website directly. The external provider may collect information, use cookies, track interactions or associate activity with your account if you are logged in to that service.

DodoTrips does not control the privacy practices of external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those providers when interacting with their content.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

We may share information where necessary with:

• Website hosting and technical providers who support the operation, maintenance and security of DodoTrips.

• Security and spam-prevention services where used to protect the website.

• Business owners or service providers when you choose to submit an enquiry or request that requires them to respond.

• Analytics, map, video or other third-party providers where their services are enabled and used.

• Authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by applicable law or is necessary to protect legal rights and website security.

Information may also be disclosed if necessary to investigate suspected abuse, enforce our website terms or protect our users and services.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to applicable legal, security and operational requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the information and the reason it was collected.

• Account information: retained while the account remains active and as needed for legitimate administrative or legal purposes.

• Business listing information: retained while a listing remains published or is needed to manage the listing. We may retain limited records of changes or removal requests where necessary.

• Contact enquiries: retained for as long as needed to respond to the enquiry and maintain relevant business records.

• Comments and reviews: retained while needed to display, moderate or manage the submitted content, unless removal is appropriate or required.

• Technical and security logs: retained for the period needed for security, troubleshooting and abuse prevention.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or otherwise dispose of it appropriately, subject to applicable obligations.

8. Your Rights Regarding Personal Data

Subject to applicable law, including the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017, you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request deletion where appropriate, or raise concerns about how your information is handled.

Where processing depends on consent, you may also withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out lawfully before the withdrawal.

These rights may be subject to legal exceptions, including where information must be retained for legal, security or administrative reasons.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the contact details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.

9. Where We Process or Store Your Data

DodoTrips is based in Mauritius. However, our hosting provider, technical services and other third-party providers may store or process information in Mauritius or other countries.

Where personal information is transferred or processed outside Mauritius, we will take the steps required by applicable data protection law for the relevant transfer.

The exact locations and safeguards depend on the hosting provider and the third-party services configured on the website.

10. How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to help protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

These measures may include access controls, website security tools, software updates, backups and other protections appropriate to the systems we use.

No website or method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

DodoTrips may contain links to external websites, including hotels, restaurants, tour operators, activity providers and other businesses.

When you follow an external link, you leave DodoTrips and become subject to the privacy practices of that external website or service.

We are not responsible for the privacy policies, content or data-handling practices of third-party websites. Please review their policies before submitting personal information or completing a transaction.

12. Children’s Privacy

DodoTrips is a general travel and business directory and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children without appropriate authorisation.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action where necessary.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website features, business practices, third-party services or applicable legal requirements change.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date. We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically.

15. Additional Information

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

DodoTrips may use automated technical processes to support website security, spam prevention or website functionality where those features are enabled.

We do not describe any automated process as making significant decisions about visitors unless such a feature is actually introduced. If we introduce profiling or automated decision-making that is subject to additional disclosure requirements, we will update this policy accordingly.

Changes to Website Services

If DodoTrips introduces additional features, such as online bookings, payments, advertising, newsletters or other services that collect additional personal information, this Privacy Policy will be reviewed and updated to describe the relevant data collection, use, sharing and retention practices.
