5. Lawful Basis for Processing

Personal data will only be processed where there is a lawful basis for doing so.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Performance of a contract;
  • Taking steps at a customer's request before entering into a contract;
  • Compliance with a legal obligation;
  • Consent;
  • Protection of vital interests; or
  • Legitimate interests where permitted by law and where those interests do not override applicable data-subject rights.

The Data Protection Act recognises, among other grounds, consent and processing necessary for contractual performance, legal obligations and certain legitimate interests.


6. Information Provided to Third Parties

We may share relevant information with third parties where reasonably necessary to operate our business.

These may include:

  • Payment service providers;
  • Website hosting providers;
  • Website and technology providers;

We will not sell customers' personal information as a business asset.

7. Payment Processing

Online card payments may be processed through an authorised third-party payment service provider.

Golden Mind Booking Ltd does not ask customers to send full payment-card details by email, WhatsApp or telephone.

Where the payment provider collects payment-card information directly, that information may be processed according to the provider's own privacy policy and security procedures.

  • Unauthorised access;
  • Unauthorised disclosure;
  • Loss;
  • Destruction;
  • Alteration; and
  • Unauthorised use.

No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers should therefore take reasonable steps to protect their own accounts, devices and communications.

The Data Protection Act requires appropriate safeguards and recognises obligations relating to confidentiality and protection of personal information.

  • Prevent fraud; or
  • Enforce agreements.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements.

The Data Protection Act requires personal data to be kept in identifiable form no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Cookies may be used to:

  • Make the website function correctly;

11. Marketing Communications

Where permitted by law, Golden Mind Booking Ltd may send customers information about services, offers or promotions.

Customers may unsubscribe from marketing communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided or by contacting us.

We will not make continued marketing a condition of purchasing a service where such consent is required.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children except where such information is reasonably necessary in connection with an accommodation booking and is provided by an appropriate adult or guardian.


13. International Transfers

Some service providers used by Golden Mind Booking Ltd may process information outside Kenya.

Where personal information is transferred outside Kenya, Golden Mind Booking Ltd will take reasonable steps to ensure that applicable legal requirements and appropriate safeguards are addressed.

  • The right to access personal data;
