Audience measurement
Traffic on the public website is measured without cookies and without storing anything in your browser. Only daily counters are recorded: page views, number of visits, referring site, country and region.
Your IP address and browser information are used to estimate the number of visitors and your region. This happens on our servers, using a local database provided by DB-IP (https://db-ip.com). Your IP address is neither recorded nor sent to a third party. A temporary fingerprint stays in memory during the current day and is then erased.
If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, your visit is not counted.
Contact page map
The map on the Contact page loads when you reach that section. Its map tiles come from OpenFreeMap (https://openfreemap.org), using OpenStreetMap data. That service then receives your IP address to display them. The “Directions” link opens Google Maps, which has its own privacy rules.
Cookies
The public website sets no audience measurement or advertising cookies. Only the partner areas and the back office use a session cookie, strictly necessary to log in.
Recipients
Your data is accessible only to authorized staff of AFRICAN HOLDING and to its hosting provider, for the operation and security of the website. It is neither sold nor transferred for commercial purposes.
Retention
- Contact requests: as long as needed to handle the request and follow up on it.
- Partner accounts: for the duration of the partnership.
- Audience measurement fingerprint: the current day at most.
- Audience counters: these are anonymous and kept for statistical purposes.
Security
Exchanges with the website are encrypted, passwords are never stored in clear text and access to data is limited to authorized people.
