Privacy Policy
How Namibia Plus handles email enquiries, essential consent storage, browser-only checklist progress, and standard hosting data.
Last updated: 23 August 2026
Namibia Plus ("we", "our", or "us") is an independent Namibia planning website. This policy describes the limited information handled when you visit namibiaplus.com, save browser preferences, use the readiness checklist, or contact us by email.
1. Information handled today
Namibia Plus is currently a public information website. It does not offer user accounts, payment processing, file uploads, or an on-site contact form.
• Email enquiries — If you choose an email link and send us a message, we receive the address, message, and any details you include through normal email services.
• Consent preferences — Your cookie choices are saved in a first-party cookie and local browser storage so the site can remember them.
• Checklist progress — The trip-readiness checklist can save checked items in local browser storage. That progress stays on your device and is not submitted to Namibia Plus.
• Standard request data — Hosting and security infrastructure may process technical request data such as an IP address, requested URL, time, browser information, and error or security events to deliver and protect the site.
No analytics, advertising, or affiliate-tracking service is loaded by the current site implementation.
2. Why the information is used
Information is used only for the purpose that produced it:
• To answer an email enquiry, correction request, or update request you send.
• To remember consent settings and optional checklist progress on your device.
• To deliver, maintain, troubleshoot, and protect the website.
• To meet a lawful request or legal obligation where one applies.
3. Service providers and disclosure
We do not sell personal data. Data may be handled by the limited providers needed for the interaction, such as website hosting and security infrastructure or the email providers used when you contact us. Each provider handles data under its own terms and privacy obligations.
Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law or a valid legal process.
4. Cookies and browser storage
Namibia Plus uses cookies and browser storage in a limited way. These include:
• Consent storage — A first-party consent cookie remembers your choices for up to one year. A matching local-storage record remains until you change the setting or clear browser data.
• Functional storage — If you allow functional storage, the trip checklist may retain progress in local storage until you reset it, disable functional storage, or clear browser data.
• Optional categories — The settings screen lets you record analytics and marketing preferences, but the current site does not load analytics, advertising, or affiliate-tracking technology.
You can manage preferences through the Cookie Settings page or clear them in your browser. The travel guides remain readable if optional storage is disabled.
5. Data Retention
The consent cookie expires after up to one year. Local-storage preferences remain until you change them or clear browser data; checklist progress also clears when functional storage is disabled or the checklist is reset. Email correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed to answer the request, maintain necessary records, or meet a legal obligation. Hosting and security logs, if generated, follow the relevant provider configuration and retention terms.
Namibia Plus does not claim fixed retention periods for systems that are not currently operated.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
• Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction — Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion — Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Restriction — Request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Portability — Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection — Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
• Withdraw consent — Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@namibiaplus.com.
7. Data Security
The site limits the information it asks readers to provide and relies on HTTPS and the safeguards of its hosting and email providers. Access to received enquiries should be limited to the people who need to answer or administer them.
No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure. Do not include passport numbers, medical records, payment-card data, or other unnecessary sensitive information in an email enquiry.
8. International Data Transfers
Hosting, security, and email providers may process data in countries other than your own. Their locations and safeguards are governed by the services used for those limited functions.
9. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
