Privacy Notice

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data that:

  • is provided to us when you travel with us (or make enquiries to travel with us)

It will notify you of the following:

  • What personally identifiable information is collected from you, how it is used and with whom it may be shared;

  • What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data;

  • The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information;

  • How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information;

  • Information collection, use, and sharing.

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We do not sell, otherwise disclose, or share data we collect and hold about you, except as described in this Privacy Policy. We may share your personal data with third parties as described below:

  • third party service providers who have been appointed as data processors to perform functions and services on our behalf and who will be provided only with personal data necessary to perform the services on our behalf but are not authorised by us to use such data for any other purposes (e.g. providers of services in respect of web hosting, payment processing, information technology systems, customer relationship management, booking and reservations management, marketing, auditing, administration);

  • third party providers of components of any package holiday, excursion, transfer, arranged activity/experience or other service we arrange for you;

  • to our advisors and insurers in the event of a claim, dispute or where otherwise necessary;

  • if we are required to do so by law or pursuant to legal process or to comply with any applicable rules or regulations or in response to a request from a law enforcement authority or other government official; and

  • we reserve the right to transfer personal data about you in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets, in accordance with applicable law. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use data you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. Following such a sale or transfer, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your data with any inquiries concerning the processing of that data.

Under the terms of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), we take great care of any information you give us.  In addition to responding to specific requests you may make, we are keen to keep in touch with you via E-mail and other means in future, to tell you about special offers, and new products and services.  However, we will only do this where you have given us your permission to do so.  We will therefore ask you, in our initial response to you, whether you are also happy to be contacted in the future, and your preferred method of contact.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for ‘https’ at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

How we use cookies
