Shutta Limited (“We”, “Shutta” or “s.i.m.b.a“) is a strong supporter of data privacy and is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals with whom we interact. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy“) is designed to answer your questions about the information we collect from or about you, how we collect such information, how we use that information, with whom we do or do not share that information, the rights you have with regard to the information we collect, and how you can exercise your rights regarding your personal information.
For information we collect through the Website and the services provided through the Website, Shutta determines how that data is Processed and Shutta is the Controller. You may contact Shutta with any questions about how we Process your personal information using the information in the Contact Us section below.
This Privacy Policy applies to all information we collect on, through, or as a result of your use of the website accessible at simba.asia (the “Website“) and any other websites, applications, or addons provided by Shutta that incorporate this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or through the Website, nor does it apply to information collected by Shutta offline or through any other means not identified here.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we Process your information as well as the rights you may have regarding your information. “Process” or “Processing” your information includes collecting, using, storing, disclosing, and otherwise manipulating your information. By accessing or using this Website, you agree to us collecting and Processing your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see Updates to This Privacy Policy). The date the Privacy Policy was last modified is set forth above. Your continued use of this Website after we make changes to this Privacy Policy is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.
We collect different information from you depending on whether you are a visitor or a customer. All information we collect is either “personal information” or “non-identifying information.”
“Personal information” is information that identifies (whether directly or indirectly) a particular individual, such as the individual’s name, postal address, email address, and telephone number. When anonymous information is directly or indirectly associated with personal information, we treat the resulting information as personal information.
“Non-identifying information” is information that does not directly or indirectly identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual.
We may use personal information and non-identifying information to create “aggregated information”, which is information about groups or categories of data subjects or individuals, which does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. We do not treat aggregated information as personal information.
As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. We associate this information with an anonymous ID. The information we collect automatically includes:
We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). Please see Online Tracking Technologies and Advertising for information on how you can opt out of online or behavioral tracking and for more information on how we respond to web browser signals and mechanisms to automatically collect information.
We may associate the information we collect automatically with personal information we collect in other ways, such as personal information you provide to us or that we receive from third parties. This helps us to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:
Analytics tools are a specific type of automatic data collection tools. We use Google Analytics, a tracking and analytics tool, in conjunction with our Website. We use Google Analytics to track, collect, and analyze information regarding your visits to our Website, including what you do on the Website and how you access the Website.
For more information on our other automated tools, see Online Tracking Technologies and Advertising and Cookie Policy.
We may supplement or update the information you provide to us or that we collect automatically, using information provided to us by third parties.
We do not collect “Sensitive Personal Information,” which includes: race or ethnicity; religion; citizenship; genetic data; biometric data used to identify a person; precise geolocation; personal information of children; union membership; SSN; DL or passport number; financial account with password or security code; contents of mail, email or texts (unless a business is the intended email recipient); medical and health information that does not otherwise constitute Personal Health Information (or “PHI”); and in the EU, criminal records.

We, as well as third parties that provide content or other functionality for our Website, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies to automatically collect information through the Services.

Cookies. For more information on cookies, please see our Cookie Policy below.
Web beacons and marketing pixels. Web beacons and marketing pixels are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of sites. They may also be referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs. In some cases, they permit us to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity). They may involve the transmission of information directly to us, to another party on our behalf, or to another party in accordance with its privacy policy. We may use web beacons or marketing pixels to bring together information we collect about you.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Facebook Ads to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics for our Website.

Cookies are pieces of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer when you visit our Website. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date. A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed. Cookies may not contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies may involve the transmission of information from us to you and from you directly to us, to another party on our behalf, or to another party in accordance with its privacy policy. We may use cookies to bring together information we collect about you. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being placed on your device, or you can choose to block all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website. If you turn cookies off, you won’t have access to many features that make your visitor/user experience more efficient, and some of our services will not function properly.
There are different ways to classify cookies, including based on when they expire or whether they are managed by us or a third party.
