T&C | Privacy Policy

Taher Nagati • February 9, 2026

Terms & Conditions

> **Version:** 2025‑10‑15

> **Applies to:** Bookings made via online platforms (e.g., GetYourGuide, Viator, TripAdvisor) or via our official channels that redirect you back to those platforms when required.


---


## 1) Who you are contracting with


You are booking services marketed by **Simba Fun Travel™ (SIMBA FUN & SERVICES INTERNATIONAL LLC // Simba Fun Travel Services LLC)** (“**Simba**”, “we/us/our**”). Most Activities are **self‑guided experiences with driver‑host support** operated by Simba or by carefully vetted local partners in our network. **Driver‑hosts are not licensed guides unless expressly stated on the product page.** 


**Important platform note.** GetYourGuide and Viator operate online marketplaces/intermediary platforms that connect travelers with local suppliers. The **platform’s customer terms and product‑page policies remain binding** and govern the booking and cancellation framework; our terms **complement** (not replace) them. If there is any inconsistency, the **platform’s general terms and the policy shown on your ticket/product page prevail.** ([GetYourGuide][1])


---


## 2) Scope of service (what’s included / not included)


Unless the product page says otherwise, our services include **private transportation with a friendly driver‑host**, air‑conditioned modern vehicle, and flexible, hosted time at the listed stops within the allotted tour hours. They **do not** include licensed guiding, museum/site tickets, meals, or paid activities unless expressly included or added as an option on the platform. 


**Self‑guided format.** The driver‑host provides logistical help and general cultural context on the road but does **not** provide in‑depth, on‑site historical guiding inside monuments. If you prefer a licensed guide, please book that add‑on where offered on the platform. 


---


## 3) Booking, changes, and communication channel


* **Binding changes** (date, time, pickup point, group size, language, add‑ons) **must be requested and confirmed in writing through the same platform where you booked** (your app/booking inbox). Phone calls or off‑platform messages are **informational only** and are **not binding** until the platform confirms in writing. 

* For GetYourGuide: customer relations are governed by the **Supplier–Customer contract via the GYG platform**; GYG acts as intermediary. ([GetYourGuide][2])

* For Viator/TripAdvisor: **the cancellation policy shown on your product page applies to you**, and merchant/support workflows are handled per Viator rules. ([partnerhelp.viator.com][3])


---


## 4) Cancellations, reschedules & no‑shows


* **Follow your platform ticket.** Each product shows its own **cancellation policy** and any free‑cancellation window; that policy binds the traveler. (On Viator, many products use the **Standard 24‑hour policy**, but stricter policies may apply—always check your page.) ([partnerhelp.viator.com][3])

* **Supplier‑side cancellations.** If weather/operational issues require cancellation, platforms have established processes (e.g., Viator’s “supply‑side events” workflow and notifications). In such cases, refunds/alternatives are processed **in line with platform rules** and communications flow through the platform. ([Viator Partner Resource Center][4])

* **Hierarchy / conflicts.** Where our terms clash with platform rules (e.g., refund timing), **the platform’s general terms prevail**; this is expressly how GetYourGuide and similar marketplaces are structured. ([GetYourGuide][1])


---


## 5) Customer responsibilities & safety


* **Laws & conduct.** You must follow local laws and instructions that ensure safety for you and others.

* **Seating & children.** Local road‑safety rules require **one legal seat per person, including infants**; child seats must be requested in advance on the platform so the correct vehicle can be arranged. (Availability/fees, if any, follow the product page.) 

* **Valuables.** Keep valuables with you; we are not responsible for lost items unless caused by our gross negligence.

* **Immediate reporting.** If anything feels unsafe (driver fatigue, speeding, route deviations) or service falls short, **contact us immediately during the service** (the platform inbox and the emergency phone on your ticket). Real‑time reporting gives us a chance to resolve issues; **post‑tour claims are much harder to verify.** 


---


## 6) Our driver‑host standards (what you can expect)


We enforce high operational standards with our own team and partner agencies:


* **Professional conduct** and respectful language at all times; **no smoking** in the vehicle.

* **Phone use only hands‑free**, with the device in a holder if navigation is needed.

* **Safe speed** within legal limits and breaks if fatigue is observed.

* **Itinerary fidelity:** drivers **may not** delete or swap official stops listed on the product page without **written approval** from Simba **before** the tour and **notice to the customer via the platform**. 


> If you observe a breach, tell us **immediately** so we can intervene. (We reward great service and discipline violations internally.) 


---


## 7) Itineraries, timing & force majeure


* **Itinerary accuracy.** We follow the route/timing described on the product page. Minor, equivalent substitutions (traffic, closures, safety) may occur while keeping the core experience intact.

* **Force majeure.** We are not liable for delays or changes due to events beyond our control (e.g., strikes, extreme weather, road closures, government actions). Where a site is closed unexpectedly, we will use reasonable efforts to propose alternatives consistent with platform rules.

* **Platform restrictions & safety standards.** We adhere to marketplace rules on safety/eligibility and may decline or remove experiences that don’t meet these standards. ([supply.getyourguide.support][5])


---


## 8) Third‑party vendors & extras


Meals, entrance tickets, and optional activities (quads, camels, boat rides, jeep upgrades, etc.) are **not included** unless the product page explicitly states so. When third‑party services are purchased on the day, any disputes with those vendors are outside the original booking; however, we will assist where reasonable. 


---


## 9) Privacy & data


We may request and process limited personal data (e.g., names, contact details, language, allergies, emergency contact) **only for safety, logistics, and legal compliance**, and we share relevant details with your driver‑host/partner supplier to deliver the service. Platform privacy terms also apply. ([GetYourGuide][6])


---


## 10) Liability


To the **maximum extent permitted by law**:


* Simba’s liability for direct losses arising from our services is limited to the amount paid for the affected booking;

* We are **not liable** for indirect or consequential losses; for the acts/omissions of independent third‑party vendors chosen on the day; or for events outside our reasonable control.

 Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.


> **Marketplace disclosure** (informational): On platforms like Viator, the **ticket/contract for the experience is between you and the provider of the Activity**, with refunds handled pursuant to the booking platform’s terms. ([supplier.viator.com][7])


---


## 11) Complaints


Please notify us **during the service** so we can help in real time. If still unresolved, send a written message via your **platform booking inbox** within a reasonable time after the Activity with (i) booking reference, (ii) details, and (iii) any evidence. We review each case carefully in line with platform procedures. 


---


## 12) Photos & media


We may ask for your consent to take short photos/reels for memories/marketing. **We only publish with your consent**; you may withdraw consent any time by messaging us on the platform. (Our drivers are trained to request permission first.) 


---


## 13) Governing law & disputes


These Simba terms are governed by the laws of the **Republic of Tunisia**. This does **not** limit any consumer‑protection rights you have under the law that applies through the platform you used to book. Venue for disputes relating to these Simba terms is Tunisia, **subject to** any mandatory platform dispute mechanisms that apply to your booking.

# Simba Fun Travel™ — Privacy Policy


**Effective date:** 15 Oct 2025

**Entity responsible (Data Controller):** **SIMBA FUN & SERVICES INTERNATIONAL LLC // Simba Fun Travel Services LLC** (“Simba”, “we”, “us”, “our”) — Tunisia

**Contact:** +216 24 465 433 • [simbafuntravel@gmail.com](mailto:simbafuntravel@gmail.com)


---


## 1) Scope


This policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal data for:


* Bookings made via marketplaces (e.g., GetYourGuide/Viator) and via our direct channels (e.g., WhatsApp, email, phone).

* Delivery of our private tours, transfers, and activities, typically **self-guided with driver-host support** (licensed guiding only when explicitly included). 


If you booked on a marketplace, their privacy terms also apply and, in many cases, they act as an independent data controller for parts of the processing (e.g., payments, tickets, platform messaging).


---


## 2) Data we collect


We collect the minimum necessary information to plan and deliver your service safely and professionally:


**Booking & identity**


* Name, contact details (phone, email), language; group size; pickup/dropoff; date/time; hotel/room; booking reference.

* Optional IDs (e.g., passport number) **only if required by law, border/port rules, insurance, or when needed to verify bookings for high-value services.**


**Safety & logistics**


* Emergency contact/WhatsApp, allergies or medical notes you choose to share (for restaurant/allergy guidance or emergency handling). We treat such health data with extra care and only process it with your consent and to protect vital interests. 


**Communications & media**


* Messages you send us (e.g., WhatsApp, email) and operational notes.

* Photos/videos **only with your consent** (e.g., memories or marketing). You can withdraw consent at any time and we will stop using them. Our team is trained to request permission first. 


**Technical (when applicable)**


* Basic device/usage data (e.g., timestamps, IP city) generated by our tools for security and anti-fraud.


We do **not** store full payment card details; platform/payment processors handle those.


---


## 3) Sources of data


* Information you provide directly to us (WhatsApp, email, forms, calls).

* Marketplaces (GetYourGuide/Viator) that transmit booking details to us.

* Travel companions who book on your behalf (please share this policy with them).


---


## 4) Purposes & legal bases (GDPR-style)


* **Provide and operate services** (plan routes, assign driver-hosts, communicate logistics). *Legal basis:* Contract & legitimate interests. 

* **Safety & incident response** (e.g., emergency contact, allergy awareness). *Legal basis:* Vital interests & consent for health data. 

* **Customer care & quality control** (live support, complaint handling, service verification). *Legal basis:* Legitimate interests & contract. 

* **Compliance** (tax, accounting, law-enforcement requests, insurance). *Legal basis:* Legal obligation.

* **Marketing with consent** (e.g., sharing a photo/reel or sending occasional updates). *Legal basis:* Consent (you can opt out any time). 


We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.


---


## 5) Sharing & recipients (need-to-know basis)


We share only what’s necessary to deliver your experience or meet legal duties:


* **Driver-hosts and trusted local suppliers** (pickup details, name, language, emergency contact). Our internal rules strictly limit their use of your data (e.g., hands-free phone use, professional conduct, no unnecessary outreach). 

* **Marketplaces** (GetYourGuide/Viator) — if your booking was made there, we coordinate via their systems per their rules.

* **Payment processors** (e.g., Wise, bank, PayPal), **insurers**, and professional advisors (when relevant).

* **Public authorities** when legally required (e.g., safety, customs, police).


We prohibit partners from using your data for any purpose unrelated to your service and require appropriate confidentiality safeguards. 


---


## 6) International transfers


Your data may be processed in Tunisia and, where required, in other countries where our partners or the platforms operate. When transferring data internationally, we use reasonable safeguards (e.g., contractual protections) consistent with applicable law.


---


## 7) Retention


We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above:


* **Operational chat & logistics notes:** up to **24 months** after service completion (to support complaints/after-care).

* **IDs provided for verification:** up to **30 days** post-service, unless required longer due to an incident or legal request.

* **Accounting/receipts:** up to **10 years** (legal/tax).

* **Photos/videos with consent:** until you withdraw consent or we retire the content.


---


## 8) Security


We apply technical and organizational measures to protect data (role-based access, least-privilege sharing with driver-hosts/suppliers, secure devices, and staff training). Drivers and suppliers must follow our **Driver-Host Rules & Policy** at all times (e.g., safe phone use, no smoking, itinerary fidelity, respectful conduct). 


---


## 9) Your rights (where applicable)


You may have the right to **access, rectify, erase, restrict,** or **object** to processing, and to **data portability.** For marketplace bookings, we may ask you to also contact the marketplace so they can action rights for data they control.


* To exercise rights or withdraw consent, contact: **[simbafuntravel@gmail.com](mailto:simbafuntravel@gmail.com)**

* You may also lodge a complaint with your local data authority.


---


## 10) Children


Our services are family-friendly, but bookings are made by adults (18+). We process children’s data (e.g., name/age for seating safety) only from parents/guardians and only for service delivery/safety.


---


## 11) WhatsApp & third-party tools


If you message us on WhatsApp or another app, that app’s own privacy policy applies in addition to this one. We’ll never ask you to send full card details via chat.


---


## 12) Photos & media consent (clarified)


Our team may request a quick photo/video for memories or marketing; **this is always optional**. We will **only** capture or publish with your consent, and you can withdraw later; we’ll delete or stop using it. Our internal rules require staff to **ask first** and stay respectful. 


---


## 13) Changes to this policy


We may update this policy to reflect operational, legal, or platform changes. We’ll post the new version with a new “Effective date.” Significant changes will be highlighted where feasible.


---
