We adhere to the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 1998.This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms of Use, provides an explanation as to what happens to any personal data that you provide to us, or that we collect from you. We do update this Policy from time to time so please do review this Policy regularly. Last updated: 12/Nov/19

How we collect information

  • We will only collect personal information from you by specifically asking for it:-

  • When you make a booking with us over the telephone.

  • When you write to us, telephone or email us; or complete a form on our website to make an enquiry or other communication.

  • When you register with us to receive brochures, newsletters or email updates; and when you enter competitions or take part in surveys and customer feedback.

We may collect all or some of the following information relating to you or other members of your holiday party:-

  • Names, dates of birth and contact details (email address and telephone numbers);

  • Credit/ debit card or other payment details;

  • Special requirements such as those relating to any dietary requirements (which may disclose your religious beliefs), disability or medical condition which may affect your chosen holiday arrangements;

  • Passport details;

  • Travel insurance details;

How we use the information you give us

When we make your booking, we must use your information in the following ways:

We will use the names of all people on your booking to pass on to the providers of the services making up your travel arrangements such as hotels, tour providers, attractions, transfer operators and transport options (all of which could be located outside the UK/EEA). They need this information in order to arrange and secure your travel arrangements. When we are required to do so, and only ever to adequately manage your booking, your information may be passed to our suppliers located outside the UK/EEA.

We will use the postal and email address you give us to send you confirmation and itinerary documentation and, with your specific consent, we will use it to contact you with future offers and information about the services we provide.

We will use the details of your travel insurance policy to contact relevant individuals and insurance companies in the event of an emergency involving you.

Your credit/ debit card or other payment details will be used to take authorised payments for your travel arrangements.

We need to understand any special requirements you have (such as those relating to any dietary requirement, disability or medical condition) so that we can check that the travel arrangements you have selected are appropriate for you. Where appropriate and with your consent we will pass this information on to the suppliers of your travel arrangements so that they can plan your travel requirements effectively.

The passport details of all members of the travelling party will be used order to book flights/rail/ferry etc and to expedite immigration processes when possible. We may also pass on other information relating to you for immigration, security and anti-terrorism purposes; or for any other purposes which a government authority determines appropriate. IATA rules state airlines require passenger contact details (e.g. a mobile number) when making a flight booking. Contact details will be made available to the airline so that in the event of possible flight disruptions the airline can contact passengers directly and inform them about flight changes. Contact details will not be used for any other purpose. If you do not wish these details to be passed to the airline, please let us know at the time of booking.

We may need to use your personal information to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation that we have. For example, in some countries, we are required to provide API to border control, customs and law enforcement officers at ports of entry and exit on your itinerary.

If you fail to provide us with this information, we may not be able to plan or confirm your booking. And/or (after we have confirmed your booking) we may not be able to assist in you checking into your hotel or notify your insurers about any emergency situations involving you.

Where we rely on consent to use your information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Please refer to the ‘Your Rights’ section of this policy for further details. Please note the implications if you withdraw your consent to us using your information as described.
