SECTION 4. DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so.
We may disclose your personal information as follows:
- We may share your personal information to our related partners for the purposes of providing services to you or for marketing purposes.
- We may disclose your personal information to our employees or third party service providers for the purposes of fulfilling requests by you, managing your bookings, responding to your enquiries and to provide services to you, including, without limitation, to airlines, tour companies, travel agencies, web hosting providers, IT systems administrators, mailing houses, couriers, payment processors, data entry service providers, electronic network administrators, debt collectors, and professional advisors such as accountants, solicitors, business advisors and consultants.
- We may disclose your personal information where disclosure is required by government authorities at the point(s) of departure and/or destination to process your information for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism purposes.
We may collect, hold, use and disclose your information for the following purposes:
- arranging your bookings;

- to contact you;
- to identify and tell you about services we think you may be interested in;
- providing relevant information to insurers, their agents and medical staff in case of emergency;

When you provide your email address to make an online booking, your contact details may be retained even if the transaction is not completed, so we can assist you in future with online bookings, and as a result of this you may receive a follow up enquiry email.
We will not disclose your personal information otherwise than as described in this Privacy Policy without your consent unless we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a threat to life, health or safety or for certain action to be undertaken by an enforcement body, disclosure is authorized or required by law or disclosure is otherwise permitted by applicable national laws.
SECTION 5. PAYMENT
If
you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, encrypted
through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), your purchase
transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your
purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction
information is deleted.
All
direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by
the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like
Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS
requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our
store and its service providers.
We give the utmost importance to keeping your data safe and secure. Your credit card details are encrypted through the use of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology, and public-key security. During transmission of your credit card details, the encryption software will transfer your information from your browser to our server in an encrypted form that eliminates any possibility of the information being intercepted enroute over the internet.
Whilst
we take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is secure, as
the internet is inherently insecure, any personal information or other
information you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk.
SECTION 6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
We
may disclose your personal information to our employees, partners or third-party
service providers for managing your bookings, responding to your enquiries and
to otherwise provide products and services to you, including, without
limitation, to airlines, tour companies, travel agencies, web hosting
providers, IT systems administrators, and professional advisors such as
accountants, solicitors, business advisors and consultants.
We
may share information with third parties in limited circumstances without your
consent if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to lessen or
prevent a threat to life, health or safety or for certain action to be
undertaken by an enforcement body, disclosure is authorized or required by law
or disclosure is otherwise permitted by applicable national laws.
In
order for you to travel abroad, we may disclose your personal information where
disclosure is required by government authorities.
In
general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and
disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the
services they provide to us.
However,
certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other
payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to
the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related
transactions.
For
these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can
understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by
these providers.
In
particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have
facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us.
So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a
third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the
laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities
are located.
As
an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a
payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information
used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United
States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once
you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application,
you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms and
Conditions.
When
you click on links on our website, they may direct you away from our site. We
are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you
to read their privacy statements.
SECTION 7. SECURITY
To
protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow
industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused,
accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
If
you create an account on our Site, you are responsible for maintaining the
strict confidentiality of your account password. Please notify us of any unauthorized use of your
password or account or any other breach of security.
