• Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, and gender

• Financial Data includes payment card details

2.2 Aggregated Data

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data, which may be derived from your personal data but is not personal data as it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat that combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2.3 Sensitive Data

We do not collect any Sensitive Data about you (such as details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, genetic and biometric data). We do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offenses.

You do not have to provide your personal data when we request it, but if you choose not to, we may not be able to respond to your queries and complete your booking.

3. HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Methods to collect personal data

We use different methods to collect personal data from and about you including through:

Direct interactions
You may give us your Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms on our websites, on third-party websites or in paper form or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. That includes personal data you provide when you:
• make an inquiry or booking with us or otherwise apply for any of our products or services
• purchase a product or service from us
• subscribe to our services or publications
• request marketing to be sent to you
• enter a competition, promotion or survey (including on third party social media platforms)
• give us feedback
• speak to us on the telephone

Automated technologies or interactions
As you interact with our website and mobile applications, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies, server logs and other similar technologies. We may also receive Technical Data about you if you visit other websites employing our cookies. Please see our Cookie Policy below for further details. We may combine Technical Data (some of which will be anonymous) with other personal data we have collected from you in order to understand and measure your online experiences and determine what products, promotions and services are likely to be of most interest to you.

Third parties or publicly available sources
We may receive personal data about you from various third parties and certain public and technical sources:
• Technical Data from analytics providers such as Google, advertising networks such as Facebook, and Identity or Location Data when using our mobile app.
• Identity and Contact Data when you make a booking or apply for our products or services through a third party (such as a travel agent), through interactions (including transactions) with our service providers, business partners, agents, affiliates and subsidiaries (including other travel providers and insurance companies), from data brokers or aggregators such as Facebook and from publicly availably sources such as phone directories, membership lists, professional and trade associations, government, bankruptcy or court registry searches and electoral registers.
• Unsolicited personal data. If we receive personal data that we have taken no active steps to collect (such as a job application sent to us by an individual on their own initiative, rather than in response to an advertisement), then we may keep that personal data if it is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities. We will destroy it or ensure it is de-identified, provided it is lawful and reasonable to do so.

6.2 Personal Data for an unrelated purpose

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We may have to share your personal data with the following parties for the purposes set out in paragraph 4 above or for other purposes directly related to the purpose for which the information was collected.

• third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them.

6.3 Third parties

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

7. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

7.1 Your personal data can be collected, stored and processed both inside and outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).

7.2 We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

7.3 Where we have entered into EU-approved standard contractual clauses with the recipient to give personal data the same protection it has in Europe in line with GDPR.

8. YOUR RIGHTS

8.1 You have the following rights in relation to your personal data.

Access: you can request access to a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Correction: you can request that any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you is corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Erasure: you can ask us to delete or remove your personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it, where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing: where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and you believe our processing of your personal data impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms, you may object to such processing for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.
Restrict processing: you can ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Withdraw consent: you may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data. If you do so, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if that is the case when you withdraw your consent.

8.2 If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

8.3 No fee usually required: You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. If we choose to deny your request, we will inform you of the decision and your right to complain to the supervisory authority within the 1 month deadline.

8.4 What we may need from you: We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

8.5 Time limit to respond: We respond to all legitimate requests without undue delay and at the latest within one month. Occasionally, if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests, we may need to extend this by up to a period of two months, in which case we will notify you and keep you updated.

8.6 We are not responsible for information held by third parties. If your transaction was with a third party ticketing agent we will not contact the agent to notify them of your request. That is your responsibility.

8.7 We only act on direct requests. We do not take action on requests made by you to third parties to remove personal information held by us.

9. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

9.1 We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

9.2 We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

10. HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?

10.1 We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

10.2 To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means and the applicable legal requirements.

11. CONTACT DETAILS

EU Supervisory Authorities: If you are an EU data subject and feel that your personal data has been processed in a way that does not comply with the GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in your country. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach them, so please contact us in the first instance.
