We will only share the information that is necessary for the relevant purpose and we require third parties to protect your data and use it only in accordance with applicable laws.


7. International Transfers

Because we arrange travel worldwide, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. These countries may have different data protection laws.

Where we transfer your personal information to a country that does not provide the same level of protection as the UK, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your information is adequately protected, for example by using standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities or by ensuring that the transfer is otherwise permitted under data protection law.


8. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal information, including:

  • storing information on secure servers
  • restricting access to personal data to those who need it for legitimate purposes
  • using security technologies such as encryption where appropriate

Although we do our best to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Any transmission of information is at your own risk.


9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including:

  • providing the services you request
  • complying with legal, accounting and reporting requirements
  • resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements

Retention periods will vary depending on the type of information and the reason it is held. When your information is no longer required, we will delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
