To make contact and interact with you 
In the event you contact us, for example by email, post, telephone or via social media, we use personal data to provide clarification or assistance to you. 

We process your personal data so that we can manage any competitions you choose to enter. For example, if you win a prize. 

From time to time we invite our loyal customers to take part in surveys, questionnaires and other market research activities carried out by us or by other organisations on our behalf and we will process your personal data in order to improve the service we provide to you. 

We combine the personal data we collect across different sources, digital and offline, in order to provide you with relevant service and marketing communications (including online advertising relevant to your interests).

With your permission, we will send you relevant information from time to time about our products and services, such as new product launches. This includes our email newsletter.  We will also keep you informed by post by using our legitimate business interest.

We will not sell your data to 3rd parties and it would only be with your permission that we pass your details to our partners, including media publishers who will be named, so that they can send you information on their products and services. We will only do this if you agree to receive these marketing communications from those named partners.  

When you request a brochure, book or create an account with us we will ask if you would like to receive marketing communications. You can change your contact preferences at any time by email, phone, in writing or by clicking the unsubscribe link that you will find on all our emails. This is entirely your choice but this will prevent you from receiving content or marketing information that we hope is of interest to you.  You may still receive service-related communications from us that provide important information about the use of our products and service, e.g., booking confirmations.

So that we can improve our products and services, we like to hear your views, so from time to time we will contact you for market research purposes. You always have the choice about whether to take part in our market research.

With suppliers and partners

In order to provide products or services requested by you we share personal data with suppliers of your travel arrangements, including airlines, hotels and transport companies.
We use Easyjet as one of our airline suppliers. Easyjet’s group booking facility is used to reserve flights for specific departures. While each customer will be provided with individual boarding passes as part of your travel documentation, the information contained on boarding passes for all clients on the same departure will be accessible for view via Easyjet’s website using the booking reference provided by all customers on that group booking, this includes your full name and passport number.

We also work with carefully selected suppliers that carry out certain functions on our behalf. For example, companies that help us with IT services, storing and combining data, marketing, market research, processing payments and delivering products and services.

When we share personal data with other reputable service providers it is conducted under contractual agreements where we require them to keep it safe, and we do not allow them to use your personal data for their own purposes including marketing.

We only share the minimum personal data that enable our suppliers and partners to provide their services to you and us. 

On occasion, we 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 credit risk.

In the event that we enter into negotiations to sell or transfer any of our businesses or any of our rights or obligations under any agreement we have with you we will share your personal data with that organisation as necessary. If the transfer or sale goes ahead, the organisation receiving your personal data can use your data in the same way as us.

With regulatory authorities

So that you can travel, it is sometimes mandatory (as required by government authorities at the point(s) of departure and/or destination) to disclose and process your personal data for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism purposes, or any other purposes which they determine appropriate.

Some countries will only permit travel if your advance passenger data is provided. These requirements differ depending on your destination and you are advised to check. Even if not mandatory, we assist where appropriate. 

We may share the minimum personal data necessary with other public authorities if the law says we must, or we are legally allowed to do so.

We take our responsibility to protect and manage your personal data very seriously. We take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access when it is being transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.  
Where you have been provided or chosen usernames and passwords for restricted areas of the websites, e.g. My Booking areas, you are responsible for keeping this information confidential. 

Where applicable, and to fulfil the requirements of your vacation, we need to share your data with companies situated outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Your personal data will be securely transferred within our group or to one of our reputable service providers who store and process this information outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Only the minimal amount of personal data required for a processing activity will be transferred and we can assure you that we have taken all appropriate steps to ensure your data is handled securely. We have appropriate agreements in place with our suppliers. 

We will retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the uses set out in this privacy notice and no longer than 12 years, and/or to meet legal and regulatory requirements. After this period, we will securely erase personal data or take appropriate measures to anonymise it, if data is needed after this period for analytical, historical or other legitimate business purposes.

You can also contact the Data Protection Lead if you have a complaint about how we collect, store or use your personal data. We aim to resolve complaints but if you are dissatisfied with our response, you may complain to the local data protection authority. In the UK, this would be the Information Commissioner’s Office, contactable via Information Commissioner’s House, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow SK9 5AF; 0303 123 1113; or https://ico.org.uk/concerns/

• It is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest
