Mapmaker Collective (Pty) Ltd · Registration 2025/539773/07
5 Balsillie Way, Nova Constantia, Cape Town 7806, South Africa · ride@mapmaker.cc
Last updated 12 August 2026
We ask for a fair amount about you before a tour — your passport, your knee, the thing you are allergic to. This page explains what we do with it, who sees it, how long we keep it, and how to make us delete it.

1Who we are

Mapmaker Collective (Pty) Ltd, registration 2025/539773/07, of 5 Balsillie Way, Nova Constantia, Cape Town 7806, South Africa, is the responsible party for the personal information described in this policy.

Our Information Officer can be reached at ride@mapmaker.cc. Please mark your message for the attention of the Information Officer.

2What we collect

Identity and contact information — your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, and passport details where a tour or a border crossing requires them.

Booking information — the tour and dates you choose, group size, dietary requirements, bike sizing such as height and inseam, pedal preference, and delivery addresses for bike hire.

Health information — medical conditions, injuries, allergies and medication that you tell us about, and the name and number of your emergency contact.

Payment information — we do not store card numbers. Card payments are processed by our payment providers under their own security standards. We keep records of what was paid, when, and by which method.

Website information — pages visited, approximate location, device and browser, collected through Google Analytics.

3Why we collect it

  • To quote for, plan and run your tour or bike hire.
  • To keep you safe. Health information allows our guides, and where necessary medical responders, to act correctly in an emergency.
  • To meet our obligations to suppliers. Accommodation, transport, permits and event organisers routinely require guest names and details.
  • To answer your enquiries and send you information you have asked us for.
  • To meet our legal, tax, accounting and insurance obligations.

4Health information and consent

Health and medical information is special personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013. We collect it only because it is necessary for your safety, we process it only with your consent, we share it only with the people who need it to look after you, and we delete it when it is no longer needed.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to us. If you do, we may be unable to accept you on a tour where we cannot manage the risk to you safely.

5Who we share it with

  • The guides and support crew running your tour.
  • Accommodation, transport and activity suppliers, in South Africa and abroad.
  • Event organisers, where your booking includes a race entry.
  • Our payment providers and our bank.
  • Insurers and medical providers, where necessary in an emergency.
  • Professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires it.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing.

6Information sent outside South Africa

Where your tour takes place outside South Africa — for example in Girona, Spain — we share the details necessary to run it with suppliers in that country. We do this only where it is necessary to perform our contract with you, or where the recipient is subject to laws or agreements that provide comparable protection to South African law.

7How long we keep it

Booking and financial records are kept for five years, as South African tax law requires.

Health information is kept until the end of your tour and for a short period afterwards for insurance purposes, then deleted.

Marketing contact details are kept until you ask us to stop.

8How we protect it

We keep information on reputable, access controlled services, we limit access to the people who need it, and we require the same of our suppliers.

No system is perfect. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and the Information Regulator as the law requires.

9Cookies and website analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used — which pages people read, how they arrived, and where they lose interest. It sets cookies and reports in aggregate.

You can block cookies in your browser settings, or install Google's opt-out browser add-on. We do not run advertising cookies that identify you personally.

10Your rights

You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we are processing it, withdraw a consent you have given, or ask us to stop sending you marketing.

Write to ride@mapmaker.cc. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa), whose contact details are published at inforegulator.org.za.

11Changes to this policy

We update this policy when our practice changes. The date at the top of this page tells you when it was last revised.
