1. Introduction
MTP Exchange respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information of individuals and businesses using our website and tourism platform.
This policy explains how we collect, use, store, share and protect personal information when you visit, register, access the platform or use tourism-related services.
MTP Exchange is operated by China Africa Meaningful Tourism Partnership NPC (CAMTP), in cooperation with Travelnetsoft. Applicable laws may include South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable, and other relevant laws.

4. How We Use Personal Information
We process information to register and manage accounts; display business listings; facilitate partnerships, enquiries, reservations and payments; provide onboarding and support; maintain security and platform functionality; communicate platform news and permitted marketing; and comply with legal obligations.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
Where GDPR applies, processing may rely on contractual necessity, legitimate interests (subject to safeguards), consent, or legal obligations. Where POPIA applies, processing follows its lawful-processing conditions. Consent may be withdrawn where processing depends on it.
6. Sharing Personal Information
Information may be shared, where necessary and lawful, with relevant tourism sellers, authorised technology and hosting providers, payment processors, professional advisers and public authorities where legally required.
MTP Exchange does not sell personal information to third parties. Appropriate legal grounds and safeguards are required for sharing.
7. International Data Transfers
Because the platform supports international tourism, data may be accessed or processed across borders. Where applicable, MTP Exchange will use lawful transfer mechanisms, contractual safeguards, recognised standard clauses and suitable technical and organisational measures.
8. Data Security
Reasonable safeguards may include authentication, access controls, encryption, secure communications, monitoring and incident response. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. Users must protect their login details and report suspected unauthorised access.
9. Data Retention
Information is kept only as long as necessary for account administration, bookings, accounting, legal obligations, disputes and security. When no longer required, information will be deleted, anonymised or managed in accordance with approved retention procedures and applicable law. Specific retention periods must be confirmed before publication.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law, individuals may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent or objection to certain processing, and may complain to a relevant regulator.
Send requests to mtpexchange@camtp.net. Requests will be handled within applicable legal requirements.
11. Marketing Communications
We may send platform updates, onboarding messages, tourism partnership opportunities and relevant announcements. Where consent is required for optional marketing, it will be obtained. Users may unsubscribe from optional marketing; necessary service communications may continue where lawful.
12. Cookies and Website Tracking
Cookies and similar technologies may support security, login, preferences and permitted analytics. See the separate Cookies Policy: mtpexchange.com/home/cookies.
13. Third-Party Websites and Services
Links and integrated services may be operated by third parties with their own privacy practices. Users should review those notices. MTP Exchange is responsible to the extent required by applicable law.
14. Children’s Personal Information
The platform primarily serves adults and authorised business representatives. Information about children needed for legitimate travel bookings must be handled lawfully, including parental or guardian authorisation where required.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect law, services, technology and processing practices. The latest version will appear on the website; material changes will be communicated where required.
