How will we use the information about you?

This will require us to pass the information on to relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels and transport companies and we will email you about other products and services we think may be of interest to you.

Contract: much of the time, our use of your data will be because of the contract between us – that is, in relation to your holiday booking. We will usually retain relevant data for up to seven years from the date the contract completes – e.g. the last day of your holiday. 

Legal obligations: we are under certain binding legal obligations, such as accounting to the government for tax and making financial records available for audit. In such cases, we are typically obliged to retain data for up to seven years from the date of transaction.

Legitimate interests: we use data to manage our operations and to make business process improvements. Our legitimate interests will not override your right to privacy.
