KENYA TOURISM BOARD (KTB) values your trust and is committed to protecting your privacy. We use SSL encryption to protect your sensitive information online. This privacy policy is designed to inform you of what information we collect, why we collect such information, and how we use the information we collect. By using this Website, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy.

We collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information when you visit our website. This is any information that cannot be used to identify a particular person.

We only collect this information when you when you participate in our campaigns or choose to provide it to us. When you submit your personal information to us, you are giving us your consent to the collection, use and disclosure as stated in this privacy policy.

Examples of information, but not limited to include: updated delivery and address information, purchase history, and demographic information.

Security Code

It is an important new Internet security feature that now appears on the back of most Visa and Master Cards, and on the front of American Express cards. This new code is a three or four-digit number which provides a cryptographic check of the information embossed on the card. The security code helps validate that the customer placing the online order actually has the credit card in his/her possession, and that the credit/debit card account is legitimate. When you give your Card Security Code to a merchant, you assist the merchant in verifying that the order is being placed by you, the card holder. If this code is printed on your card, YES, you must enter the code. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express now require Internet stores to obtain the security code for all cards that have a code printed on them. In order for a transaction to be accepted and processed, you must enter this code if it’s printed on your card. This is done for your protection.
