At Silver Coast Travelling – Tours & Experiences we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or book a tour with us.

By using our website and services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

3. Sharing your information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following instances:

• Service providers: We may share your personal information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website and deliver our tours, such as payment processors or transport providers. These third parties are only authorized to use your information as necessary to provide their services.
• Legal compliance: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or legal request, or to protect our rights, property, and safety or the safety of others.

4. Data security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. We use them to make the site work and, if you agree, to count visits.

On your first visit we show a notice where you can accept all cookies, reject statistics cookies or choose. Necessary cookies are always on. The others are only used if you accept them, and the site still works if you reject them.

• Necessary: keep the site working and are always on. cc_cookie (Silver Coast Travelling) stores your cookie choice for 6 months; wp-wpml_current_language (Silver Coast Travelling) remembers the site language for 1 day.
• Statistics: count visits, page views and traffic sources in aggregate, so we know which content helps most. They are only used if you accept them. _ga (Google Analytics) tells visitors apart, 2 years; _ga_BKTKRFSYHH (Google Analytics) stores session state, 2 years.
• Maps and bookings: part of how the site works, provided by other companies. When you view a map or open a booking, these providers receive technical data such as your IP address and may set their own cookies, under their own privacy policies (Google, FareHarbor).

We do not use advertising cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with the “Manage cookies” link in the footer of every page, or here. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may stop working.

6. Your rights and choices

• Access to your information: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: You may request that we update or correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: You can request the deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal obligations or business requirements we must retain.
• Opt-out of marketing: You can unsubscribe from our newsletters and marketing communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

7. International transfers

If you are located outside of Portugal please note that your personal information may be transferred to, and stored in, a country with different data protection laws. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to such locations.

8. Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

9. Children’s privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information.

10. Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the “Effective Date” will be updated accordingly. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
