Who we share your data with
We will only collect and use your personal data if we have your consent for the products and services your request or we need to use this for other legitimate purposes, such as sharing this with regulatory authorities, use in an emergency or security reasons.
In order to provide products and/or services requested by you we may share personal data with suppliers of your trip, including hoteliers, accommodation providers, transport companies and guides. We also work with carefully selected suppliers to carry out IT functions on our behalf.
We also may need to share personal data to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights; this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud and reducing risks.
When we share personal data with other organisations, we require them to keep it safe, and they must not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes, unless you have directly consented for them to do so.
We only share the minimum personal data that enable our suppliers to provide their services to you and us.
Protecting your data
We understand how important it is to protect and manage your personal data. We therefore take appropriate security measures to help protect your personal data from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration and disclosure.
The security of yours, and your party’s data also depends on you, so you’ll still be responsible for keeping it secure and confidential.
The personal data we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside of the UK. It will also be processed by organisations operating outside the UK but within the EU who work for us or for one of our suppliers. On extremely rare occasions this may be processed outside the EU. We put in place appropriate protections to make sure your personal data remains adequately protected and that it is treated in line with this Notice. These protections include, but not limited to, appropriate contract clauses, such as standard contract clauses approved by the UK (or the European Commission as appropriate), and appropriate security measures.
How long we retain your data
We will retain your personal data for only as long as it is necessary for the uses set out in this Privacy Notice and/or to meet legal and regulatory requirements. After this period, we will securely erase personal data. If data is needed after this period for analytical, historical, or other legitimate business purposes, we will take appropriate measures to anonymise this data.
