Our Privacy Policy
Welcome to the web site of (MAM Tours) of MAM Tours, Inc. This Privacy Policy sets forth MAM Torus’s policy with respect to information
including personally identifiable data (“Personal Data”) and other information that is collected from Site visitors and users of the Services.
Information We Collect
When you interact with us through the Site or the Services, we may collect Personal Data and other information from you, as further
described below:
Personal Data That You Provide Through the Site: We collect Personal Data from you when you voluntarily provide such information such
as when you register for access to the Services (for example, name, email address, and payment information), use certain Services, contact
us with inquiries or respond to one of our surveys. Wherever MAM Tours collects Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this
Privacy Policy.
By voluntarily providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide
Personal Data, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and
servers of MAM Tours and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States and abroad.
International Transfer
Your information may be transferred to - and maintained on - computers located outside of your state, province, country or other
governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United
States and choose to provide information to us, MAM Tours transfers personal information to the United States and processes it there. Your
consent to this privacy policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Non-Identifiable or Aggregated Data
When you interact with MAM Tours through the Site or Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such
information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. MAM Tours may
store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by MAM Tours affiliates, agents or
service providers. This Site may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to
our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers, and how our users use
and interact with the MAM Tours Service. Also, in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, MAM Tours
often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided
to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. MAM Tours may share this non-identifiable and aggregate data
with its affiliates, agents and business partners, but this type of non-identifiable and aggregate information does not identify you personally.
MAM Tours may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and
to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Our Use of Your Personal Data and Other Information
MAM Tours uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a
certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by
email, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Data in
order to obtain access to the Services, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use
of such services.
MAM Tours and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Data and other personally non-
identifiable information collected through the Site to help us improve the content and functionality of the Site, to better understand our users
and to improve the Services. MAM Tours and its Related Companies may use this information to communicate with you regarding the
Services or to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each marketing communication we send you will
contain instructions permitting you to "opt-out" of receiving future marketing communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to
receive any future communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below. Note
however that as user of the Service you cannot opt-out of some administrative communications that are reasonably necessary to the
Service, such as billing or service notifications.
If MAM Tours intends on using any Personal Data in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such
anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Data is collected.
Our Disclosure of Your Personal Data and Other Information

Policy.

-
they need to perform their specific function.

User Consent and Data Protection
To ensure compliance with privacy regulations and to protect user data, MAM Tours requires explicit consent from users before deploying

the instructions provided in our privacy settings.
Log Data
When you visit the Service, whether as a Member or a non-registered user just browsing (any of these, a “MAM Tours User”), our servers
automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information
such as your computer's Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to the Service,
pages of the Service that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on the Service, access times and dates, and
other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Service and for the Service’s technical administration, to increase
the Service’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor the Service to our visitors' and users’ needs. We also use this
information to verify that visitors to and users of the Service meet the criteria required to process their requests.
Listed trips
If you post a trip, we may publish that trip publicly via the Service and may enable third parties to publish your trip on their websites through
the use of an HTML “widget” or other. We may also display the geographical location of your trip and your current location so that potential
Travelers can see the destination of your trip. If you request to make a booking via the Service, MAM Tours may share pieces of the
Traveler’s Identify Information with the Trip Organizer, including, but not limited to, full name, phone number and email address. When a Trip
Organizer receives a booking we may share pieces of the Trip Organizer’s Identify Information, including, but not limited to, full name,
phone number, the trip’s starting location and/or address and the Trip Organizer’s email address, with the applicable Traveler, so that the
Traveler and Trip Organizer may contact one another directly. Booking or rejecting a customer's request is solely within the control and
discretion of the Travel Organizer. MAM Tours has no control or influence with the Travel Organizers as to their decisions. In no event is a
Traveler's full payment information shared with a Trip Organizer.
KYC/KYB (Know Your Customer/Know Your Business)
To support our KYC policy, MAM Tours has developed a KYC/KYB process which is required to be completed by all of our Trip Organizers
to collect relevant business information to identify risks of money laundering. We will keep the KYC documents of a transacting Trip
Organizer for 5 years. If required under international laws, we may be required to hold documents as per the verification standards while
checking whether our users are based in FATF high-risk jurisdictions, named on government-sponsored watch lists or international
(UN/OFAC) sanctions lists, or if they are active in or from conflict-affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs).

EEA, SWITZERLAND AND UK ONLY
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
In May 2018, a new data privacy law known as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (or the "GDPR") becomes effective. The GDPR
requires MAM Tours and Travel Organizers using the Service to provide Users with more information about the processing of their Personal
Data. Here is what you need to know:
Legal grounds for processing your Personal Data The GDPR requires us to tell you about the legal ground we're relying on to process any
Personal Data about you. The legal grounds for us processing your Personal Data for the purposes set out in this privacy policy above will
typically be because:
• you provided your consent; • it is necessary for our contractual relationship; • the processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal
or regulatory obligations; and/or • the processing is in our legitimate interest as a payment platform for travel organizers (for example, to
protect the security and integrity of our systems and to provide you with customer service, etc.).
Transfers of Personal Data
As MAM Tours is a global company, we may need to transfer your Personal Data outside of the country from which it was originally
provided. This may be intra-group or to third parties that we work with who may be located in jurisdictions outside the EEA, Switzerland and
the UK which have no data protection laws or laws that are less strict compared with those in Europe.
Whenever we transfer Personal Data outside of the EEA, Switzerland or the UK, we take legally required steps to make sure that
appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Data. Feel free to contact us for more information about the safeguards we
have put in place to protect your Personal Data and privacy rights in these circumstances.
Personal Data retention
We retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to provide you with our Services, or for other important purposes such as complying
with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. If you have an account with us, we will typically retain your
Personal Data for a period of 90 days after you have requested that your account is closed or if it's been inactive for 7 years.
Your rights.
Data protection law provides you with rights in respect of Personal Data that we hold about you, including the right to request a copy of the
Personal Data, request that we rectify, restrict or delete your Personal Data, object to profiling and unsubscribe from marketing
communications.
For the most part, you can you can exercise these rights by logging in and visiting the Profile and My Trips pages or changing the "cookie
settings" in your browser. If you can't find what you're looking for in the Profile or My Trips pages, please contact us. Please note that
requests to exercise data protection rights will be assessed by us on a case-by-case basis. There may be circumstances where we are not
legally required to comply with your request because of the laws in your jurisdiction or because of exemptions provided for in data protection
legislation.
If you have a complaint about how we handle your Personal Data, please get in touch with us as set forth in section “Dispute Resolution” to
explain. If you are not happy with how we have attempted to resolve your complaint, you may contact the relevant data protection authority.
MAM Tours as a data controller and a data processor
EU data protection law makes a distinction between organizations that process Personal Data for their own purposes (known as "data
controllers") and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as "data processors"). If you have a
question or complaint about how your Personal Data is handled, these should always be directed to the relevant data controller since they
are the ones with primary responsibility for your Personal Data.
MAM Tours may act as either a data controller or a data processor in respect of your Personal Data, depending on the circumstances.
For example, if you create an account with us to organize travel, MAM Tours will be a data controller in respect of the Personal Data that
you provide as part of your account. We will also be a data controller of the Personal Data that we have obtained about the use of the
Applications or MAM Tours Properties, which could relate to Organizers or participants. We use this to conduct research and analysis to
help better understand and serve Users of the Services as well as to improve our platform and might provide you with more targeted
recommendations about travel offerings we think may be of interest to you.
However, if you register for an trip as a participant, we will process your Personal Data to help administer that trip on behalf of the Organizer
(for example, sending confirmation, promotional and feedback emails, processing payments, etc.) and to help the Organizer target, and
understand the success of, their trip and trip planning (for example, providing trip reports, using analytics to gain insights into the
effectiveness of various sales channels, etc.). In these circumstances, MAM Tours merely provides the "tools" for Organizers; MAM Tours
does not decide what Personal Data to request on registration forms, nor is it responsible for the continued accuracy any Personal Data
provided. Any questions that you may have relating to your Personal Data and your rights under data protection law should therefore be
directed to the Organizer as the data controller, not to MAM Tours.
