Privacy Policy
How Uganda Guide handles personal data, form submissions, limited sharing, and reader privacy.
Uganda Guide is an editorial property, not a booking platform. That means the privacy footprint should stay relatively narrow: only the data needed for direct inquiries, newsletter delivery, analytics measurement, advertising operations, or explicit quote-intent handoff should be collected.
What data this site should collect
Uganda Guide should collect personal data only when a reader deliberately submits it through a form or email channel. In practice, that usually means a newsletter signup, a direct inquiry, or a request to move into quote or route-comparison mode.
The editorial reading experience itself should stay low-friction and low-surveillance. The product is designed to help readers understand Uganda travel, not to maximize data capture.
- Do not collect personal data just to read editorial pages.
- Only ask for the minimum information needed to answer the request.
- Treat quote-intent and newsletter intent as separate consent moments.
How submitted data is used
Reader-submitted information should be used only for the purpose the reader clearly triggered: replying to an inquiry, sending a subscribed newsletter, or passing a quote-oriented request into the Gorilla Planner handoff flow.
Uganda Guide should not sell reader data or repurpose it for unrelated marketing. If a commercial handoff occurs, that boundary should stay explicit rather than hidden inside general editorial browsing.
Sharing, retention, and restraint
When a reader explicitly asks for help comparing routes or getting a quote, the relevant details may be passed into the downstream Gorilla Planner workflow or the operator contact path that supports it. That should happen only because the user asked for that next step.
Data should not be retained longer than operationally useful. Inquiry and quote data should be reviewed periodically and deleted when it no longer serves the original request or legal record-keeping need.
Cookies and third-party services
Uganda Guide uses third-party services for site measurement and advertising operations, including Google Analytics and Google AdSense. Those services remain blocked by default until a reader explicitly accepts analytics and advertising cookies through the site consent banner.
If other third-party services are used for forms, email delivery, hosting, or embedded tools, those providers may also process limited technical data in order to operate the service. The site should keep that stack narrow and intelligible, and should not add surveillance-heavy tooling without a clear reason.
If a reader rejects non-essential cookies, Uganda Guide stores that choice so the site can keep Google Analytics and Google AdSense inactive. Readers can reopen the privacy and cookie controls from the footer at any time and change the decision later.
- Google Analytics may collect usage and pageview data for site measurement only after consent is granted.
- Google AdSense may process advertising-related data and account verification signals only after consent is granted.
- Essential storage used for security and core functionality remains active regardless of the analytics and advertising choice.
Reader rights and contact
Readers may ask for access, correction, or deletion of personal data that was actively submitted to this property, subject to any legitimate legal or security constraints.
A dedicated public privacy and legal contact has not been published yet. Before launch at scale, this property should publish a clear operator contact for formal requests.
