What do we use your ‘Personal Data’ for?

The main purposes for which we use your personal information are:

    To fulfil your travel arrangements and deliver the services you have asked for and to contact you directly.

• We need to process your personal data so that we can manage your account or booking, provide you with the products and services you want to buy and help you with any orders and refunds you may ask for.
• We need to share personal data with suppliers of your travel arrangements, including airlines, hotels and transport companies, regulatory authorities and credit reference/fraud prevention agencies, police, law enforcement agencies, law firms and law courts, to enforce or apply any contract with you where appropriate.
• We also work with carefully selected suppliers that carry out certain functions on our behalf such as suppliers of IT services, storing and combining data, marketing, advertising campaign, market research, processing payments and delivering products and services.
• We do not sell personal data.

a)  For marketing purposes - to provide services tailored to your requirements and to treat you in a more personal way.

• Your browsing behaviour, purchases, your responses to marketing communications relating to products and services we offer, gives us the opportunity to offer you products and services that are perfectly suitable for your needs and hence allows us to provide you with personalised offers and services.
• If you do not wish to receive a personalised service from us, you can change your preference online, over the phone or by writing (e.g. email or post) to us at any time and we will amend our records accordingly.

 b) For marketing purposes - to keep you informed about our products, services, offers.

• We may send you relevant offers and news about our products and services in a number of ways, including by email. We will only do this if you have previously agreed to receive these marketing communications..
• You can change your marketing preferences online, over the phone or by writing (e.g. email or post) to us at any time and we will amend our records accordingly.
• If you ask us to stop sending marketing communications, please note we will still retain your personal information for service-related communications from us. For example, confirming bookings you make with us and providing important information about the use of our products or services.

 c) To carry out analysis and market research for improving our websites, products and services.

• We use personal data to carry out market research and internal research and development, and to develop and improve our product range, services, shops, IT systems, security, personal data protection, prevention of fraud/ crimes, and know-how and the way we communicate with you.
• We use CCTV images to help maintain the safety of anyone working in or visiting our shops, premises and other buildings, and for the prevention, detection and prosecution of criminal offences. We may also rely on the images and any recorded communications we have to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

Data Retention

Your information will be kept for as long as we need it for the purpose it is being processed for.
