This policy explains what personal information Taxis Mauritius collects when you book a transfer or a tour with us, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it. We have tried to write it in plain language rather than legal jargon.

1. Who we are

Taxis Mauritius is a licensed passenger transport and tour service operating in Mauritius, trading as Taxis (Mauritius) Limited, Business Registration Number C10060869, with a registered address at Royal Road Amaury, 31401, Mauritius.

For the purposes of the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017 and, where it applies, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, we are the data controller for the information described below.

You can reach us about anything in this policy at bookings@taxismauritius.com.

2. What we collect

When you book with us, we collect only what we need to carry out the journey:

  • Your name, so the driver can identify you on arrival
  • Email address and phone number, including your WhatsApp number, so we can confirm the booking and reach you on the day
  • Flight number, arrival date and time, so we can track your flight and adjust the pickup if it is delayed
  • Pickup and drop-off addresses, usually your hotel, villa or guesthouse
  • Number of passengers and luggage, so we send a vehicle that fits
  • Child seat requirements and the ages of any children travelling, so we fit the correct seat
  • Any special requests you tell us, such as mobility needs or a stop on the way

If you contact us by WhatsApp, email or the contact form, we also keep the content of that conversation so we have a record of what was agreed.

We do not ask for, and you should never send us, your passport number, identity card number, or full payment card details by message or email.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, ours records limited technical information when you visit: IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and how you arrived at the site. This is used to understand how the site is used and to keep it working, not to identify you personally.

3. Why we use it, and our lawful basis

We do not sell your personal information to anyone, and we do not use it for automated decision making or profiling.

4. WhatsApp and messaging

Many of our bookings are made and confirmed over WhatsApp. When you message us there, your message is delivered through WhatsApp’s own systems and is subject to their privacy policy as well as ours. We keep the conversation as a record of your booking.

If you would prefer not to use WhatsApp, you can book entirely by email at bookings@taxismauritius.com.

5. Payment information

[EDIT THIS SECTION TO MATCH HOW YOU ACTUALLY TAKE PAYMENT.]

Most of our transfers are paid directly to the driver on arrival, in cash. In that case we never see or store any card details at all.

Where a booking is paid online, payment is processed by our payment provider, [PAYMENT PROVIDER NAME]. Your card details are entered on their systems, not ours. We receive only a confirmation that payment succeeded, along with the last four digits of the card and the amount. We never store full card numbers.

6. Cookies and analytics

Our website uses cookies. Some are strictly necessary to make the site and the booking form work. Others help us understand which pages are useful.

  • Essential cookies, which keep the site functioning and remember your booking form entries. These cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics cookies, set by Google Analytics, which tell us how many people visit and which pages they read. These only run if you accept them.

You can refuse non-essential cookies through the banner when you first visit, and you can clear or block cookies at any time in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop the booking form working.

7. Who we share your information with

We share the minimum necessary, and only with:

  • The driver assigned to your journey, who receives your name, phone number, flight details, pickup point and destination
  • Partner operators, where a tour you have booked includes a boat, a skipper or a guide we do not employ directly
  • Our payment provider, where you pay online
  • Our website host and email provider, who store the data on our behalf
  • Professional advisers, insurers or authorities, where we are legally required to, or where it is necessary to handle a claim

We do not pass your details to hotels, shops, advertisers or any third party for marketing purposes.

8. Sending information outside Mauritius

Some of the services we use, such as email, website hosting and analytics, store data on servers outside Mauritius, including in the European Union and the United States. Where that happens, we rely on the safeguards those providers have in place, such as standard contractual clauses, to keep your information protected to the same standard.

9. How long we keep it

  • Booking records, including name, contact details and journey details: seven years, to meet accounting and tax requirements
  • WhatsApp and email conversations: two years, unless connected to a complaint or claim, in which case until it is resolved
  • Website analytics: up to fourteen months
  • Marketing consent records: until you withdraw consent, and for two years afterwards to prove that you did

10. Your rights

Under the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017, and under GDPR if you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have the right to:

  • Ask what personal information we hold about you, and receive a copy
  • Have inaccurate information corrected
  • Ask us to delete information we no longer need
  • Object to us using your information, or ask us to restrict how we use it
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where we relied on consent
  • Receive your information in a portable format
  • Complain to a supervisory authority

To exercise any of these, email bookings@taxismauritius.com. We will respond within one month. There is no charge.

11. Keeping your information safe

Our website runs over an encrypted connection. Access to booking records is limited to the people who need it to do their job. Drivers receive only the details required for your specific journey, and nothing more.

No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but if a breach occurs that puts your rights at risk we will notify you and the Data Protection Office as required by law.

12. Children

Our service is booked by adults. We do not knowingly collect information directly from children. Where a booking includes children, we collect only their ages, and only so we can fit the correct child seat.

13. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the page for a reasonable period.

14. Contact and complaints
