RECIPIENTS OF YOUR INFORMATION

In order for us to deliver our services to you, we have to transfer your information to third parties. The list below provides information on the types of third parties that we share information with. It is challenging to name specifically all the third parties that we will transfer data to and so we have provided categories of recipients for you instead.

  • Package holiday organisers;
  • Tailor-made holiday providers; where flight/hotel/transfers are organised by a single company, we will inform you of the company we will transfer your data to when booking those services,

We book travel and holiday arrangements for destinations across the world. When liaising with a travel or accommodation provider within Europe, the EEA and countries on the European Commission’s data protection ‘adequacy’ list, we use the countries’ own data protection regulation as the safeguard for your data over and above the technical and organisational measures we have put in place to secure your data when transferring to them.

We will never sell your data to any third party.
