The data is collected through the session cookies (concerning cookies see also below) we use on our Website. It is anonymised before we use it to build anonymous utilisation profiles, for marketing purposes and to optimise our Website and the services we provide. This data shall not be used to identify the visitor of this website personally
If you provide your contact information to us (e.g. when booking a service with us or when signing up for our newsletter via our Website), we may use this Personal Data to send you our newsletters and details of other special offers which may be of interest to you, based on previous interactions with us (e.g. bookings).
If you sign up for our newsletter via our Website, you are required to provide your email address only. When you sign up for the newsletter via our website, you will receive an email to reconfirm your interest in staying in touch (double opt-in). Any additional information is voluntary and will be used solely for the personalisation of the newsletter.

We may collect and process Personal Data about you if it is relevant to your stay at Amkia Villas or if it is in your interest. We may collect and process certain additional data to personalise your stay upon your express request and consent.
II. Sharing Personal Data
Your Data may be shared:
We will not transfer your data to third-party recipients unless you consent to such transfer of data or such transfer is permitted under applicable law.
III. Transfer of Personal Data to a 3rd Country
Where information is transferred outside Kenya, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented. If your Personal Data is transferred to a country that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission or the Personal Data Protection Commission of Singapore, data is adequately protected by EU Commission-approved standard contractual clauses or a third party’s Binding Corporate Rules.
On our Website, we use the following social media plug-ins integrated through cookies: Facebook, Google My Business, X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. The plug-ins can be identified by the social media buttons marked with the logo of the provider of the respective social media networks.
We have implemented these plug-ins using the so-called 2-click solution. This means that when you navigate on our Website, Personal Data will initially not be collected by the providers of these social media plug-ins. Only if you click on one of the plug-ins will your Data be transmitted. By activating the plug-in, data is automatically transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored by them (in the case of US providers, your Personal Data will be stored in the USA). We neither influence the collected data and data processing operations conducted by the providers nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes, or the retention periods.
The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to present need-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our Website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right.
Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your account with the plug-in provider. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as you can then avoid being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
Information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the respective privacy policies of these providers, where you will also find further information on your rights and options for the protection of your data.
We have included a link to our YouTube channel on our Website. The videos are stored on YouTube and operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. Your Data will not be transferred to YouTube unless you play the videos. We do not influence this data transfer.
For further information regarding the processing of personal data, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy available at: Privacy Policy – Privacy & Terms – Google.
