HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only send you such messages about our own products and services and will not share your personal information with other organizations for their own marketing purposes.

In order to ensure our marketing communications are relevant to you, we may use details such as your purchasing history, geographical location, gender, and age to send messages which we feel will be of specific interest to you.

In order to maximize the performance of our website and to improve individual user experience, we collect data on how you use our site.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will share your personal information with our suppliers in order for us and them to fulfill your booking requirements.

We strictly use the data collected through our website via forms.  We do not sell, share, or give away our databases to third parties.

 

HOW LONG WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION

We only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the requests and booking you have made with us. Many of our customers return to book future holidays; we do therefore store a minimal amount of information for longer, so we can provide good customer service for you. We may also keep personal information for essential purposes, such as complying with our legal obligations or resolving disputes. As our requirements can vary, our retention periods reflect this.
