TogoEvisa.com Privacy Policy

1. Who Is Responsible for Your Personal Data?

The data controller is the legal entity responsible for determining why and how personal data is processed in connection with the TogoEvisa.com service.

These details identify the private service operator and must not be confused with the Togolese government or the official Togo Voyage portal.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This policy covers personal data processing associated with the TogoEvisa.com website and its independent assistance services, including relevant contact enquiries, application preparation, document submission, payment administration and customer support.

The official Togo Voyage portal and other third-party websites operate under their own privacy notices and processing arrangements.

3. What Personal Information May Be Collected?

The categories of information involved depend on the service you request and the forms you actually complete.

Identity and Contact Information

• Full name and date of birth
• Nationality and country of residence
• Email address and telephone number
• Residential or correspondence address

Passport and Immigration Information

• Passport number and issuing country
• Passport issue and expiry dates
• Passport biodata images or copies
• Travel purpose and intended duration
• Travel dates and accommodation details
• Supporting immigration documents

Application and Service Information

• Application reference and order information
• Service enquiries and support correspondence
• Application corrections and relevant status updates
• Transaction records and payment status

Website and Technical Information

• IP address and browser information
• Device type and operating system
• Website requests and technical logs
• Cookie preferences where implemented

Not every category listed above is necessarily collected from every visitor. Actual collection depends on the website's deployed forms, integrations and services.

4. Why Personal Information Is Processed

Where applicable, personal data may be processed for the purposes described below. The legal basis must correspond to the actual processing activity.

Where legitimate interests are relied upon, the relevant interests must be identified and assessed. Where consent is required, it should be freely given and capable of withdrawal.

5. Passport Copies and Visa Supporting Documents

Passport images, identification records and travel documentation require particular care because their disclosure or misuse can create significant privacy risks.

Documents should only be requested when necessary for the service and collected through an appropriate submission method. Users should avoid sending unrelated sensitive documents.

Where the requested assistance includes submission to the official government application system, relevant information may need to be transferred to the competent immigration authorities.

Any such disclosure should be explained before submission and limited to what the relevant procedure requires.

6. Payments and Financial Information

When a customer purchases optional assistance, payment information may be processed to administer the transaction, issue receipts, handle refunds and maintain legally required records.

Payment services may involve independent payment providers acting under their own contractual and privacy arrangements.

The final policy must identify the payment providers actually used and accurately explain whether card data is collected by the website or entered directly into a hosted payment service.

7. Who May Receive Personal Information?

Depending on the requested service, relevant information may be disclosed to appropriate categories of recipients, such as:

• Competent immigration or government authorities
• Hosting and technical infrastructure providers
• Payment processing and fraud prevention providers
• Email and customer support service providers
• Professional advisers where legally appropriate
• Authorities where disclosure is legally required

The categories above describe potential recipients. Before publication, they must be reconciled with the website's actual hosting, email, payment and application processing arrangements.

Personal data should not be sold or disclosed for unrelated commercial purposes without a valid legal basis and appropriate transparency.

8. International Transfers of Personal Data

Togo visa assistance may involve processing or disclosure of personal information outside the European Economic Area, including transmission to competent authorities in Togo where relevant to an application.

Other international transfers may occur through hosting, communications or payment service providers.

Where GDPR transfer restrictions apply, the operator must identify an appropriate legal transfer mechanism, safeguard or applicable derogation and explain how further information can be obtained.

9. How Long Is Personal Information Retained?

Personal data should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal obligations and justified retention requirements.

Different retention periods may apply to application documents, financial records, support correspondence and security logs.

When the relevant retention period expires, data should be deleted, anonymised or securely archived where a continuing lawful basis exists.

10. Security of Personal Information

Appropriate technical and organisational measures should protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure and loss.

Depending on the system, these measures may include secure connections, access restrictions, authentication controls, software maintenance, backups and staff confidentiality procedures.

The operator must verify that the measures described in the published policy are actually implemented. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

If you believe your application information has been exposed, use our contact page to report the concern.

11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may support essential website functions, security, preferences and, where enabled, analytics or advertising.

Non-essential cookies should only be activated when the applicable consent requirements have been met.

Visitors should be able to review relevant cookie information and manage their preferences through the website's implemented consent controls.

Read our Cookie Policy for further information.

12. Marketing Communications

If marketing communications are offered, the website must explain how contact information is used, identify the applicable legal basis and provide any legally required consent or opt-out mechanism.

Withdrawing marketing consent must not prevent a customer from receiving necessary communications about an existing visa assistance request.

13. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, individuals may have the following rights:

• Access: Request information about personal data held.
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Erasure: Request deletion where legally applicable.
• Restriction: Request limitation of certain processing.
• Portability: Receive eligible data in a transferable format.
• Objection: Object to certain processing activities.
• Withdrawal: Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Automated decisions: Exercise applicable rights concerning qualifying automated decisions.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Submit your request through the designated privacy contact or contact page. The operator may need to verify your identity before releasing or modifying personal information.

Where GDPR applies, requests must be handled within the applicable statutory deadlines. Some rights are subject to legal exceptions.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

Individuals covered by the GDPR may lodge a complaint with an appropriate data protection supervisory authority.

Information about Spain's data protection authority is available at www.aepd.es. The appropriate supervisory authority depends on the circumstances.

14. Children's Personal Information

Visa applications for minors may require personal information relating to children and their parents or legal guardians.

Such information should only be collected where necessary and processed with appropriate safeguards, including any required parental or guardian authorisation.

15. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

Government visa approval decisions are made under the relevant official immigration procedures, not by TogoEvisa.com.

If the private service uses automated profiling or decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects, the operator must provide the additional disclosures and safeguards required by applicable law.

Simple website checklists or informational eligibility guides do not constitute official government visa determinations.

16. External Websites and Government Platforms

Our website may link to official government websites and other independent online resources.

When you visit an external website, its own privacy terms and security practices govern the information you submit there.

The official Togo visa application portal is https://voyage.gouv.tg/.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This policy may be revised when the service, its technology, processing practices or applicable legal requirements change.

Material changes should be communicated where legally required. The version and effective date should be updated when a revised policy is published.

18. Contact Us About Privacy
