This Data Protection Policy may change from time to time and customer’s continued use of services is deemed to be acceptance of such changes.

It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). 3.2 We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about customers as follows: • Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier. When customers email, phone, live chat or otherwise, we may collect information such as customer’s first name, last name, email address and phone number. • Contact Data includes billing address, invoicing address, email address and telephone numbers. • Financial Data includes bank account and payment card details. • Transaction Data includes details about payments and other details of our Services customers have purchased from us. • Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, customer’s login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices customers use to access this Website. • Profile Data includes customer’s username and password, reservations made by customers, customer’s interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses. • Usage Data includes information about how customers use our Website and Services. • Marketing and Communications Data includes customer’s preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and customer’s communication preferences. • Interaction Data includes any information that customers might provide to any discussion forums on the Website. • Cookies Data like many websites, we use "cookies" to enhance customer’s experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our websites.

We may receive information about customers if customers use any of the other websites we operate or through the Services we provide. In this case we will have informed customers when we collected that data that it may be shared internally and combined with data collected on our Website. We are also working closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, suppliers, sub-contractors, advertising networks, analytics providers, and search information providers) and may receive information about customers from them. • Analytics includes third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to evaluate customer’s use of the Website, compile reports on activity, collect demographic data, analyse performance metrics, and collect and evaluate other information relating to our Website and internet usage. These third parties use cookies and other technologies to help analyse and provide us the data. By accessing and using the Website, customers consent to the processing of data about customers by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Data Protection Policy.   3.3 We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from customer’s personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal customer’s identity. For example, we may aggregate customer’s Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a website, social media platform related to our business or entry into our business. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with customer’s personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify customers, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Data Protection Policy. 3.4 We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about customers (this includes details about customer’s race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about customer’s health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

We will only process customer’s personal data if at least one of the following basis applies: a) Consent to the processing of personal data is for one or more specific purposes; b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which customers are a party or in order to take steps at the request of customers prior to entering into a contract; c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject; d) processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of customers or of another natural person; e) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; and/or f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party such as our financial payments, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, in particular where the data subject is a child.   3.6 If we receive personal information in the course of providing our Services to customers from another data subject, we expect customers to have complete responsibility for ensuring that the contents of this Data Protection Policy are brought to their attention and customers have obtained their consent in the process. 3.7 In some instances, it may be appropriate for us to combine customer’s information with other information that we may be holding about customers, such as combining customer’s name with customer’s geographic location or customer’s browsing or purchasing history.     4.How we may collect and use customer’s data 4.1 We (or third party data processors, agents and sub-contractors acting on our behalf) may collect, store and use customer’s personal information by way of different methods to collect data from and about customers including through: Direct interactions.

If customers have not opted-in to receive e-mail newsletters, customers will not receive these e-mails.

Most commonly, we will use customer’s personal data in the following circumstances: a) Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with customers. b) Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and customer’s interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. c) Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation   4.9 Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing customer’s personal data other than in relation to our marketing communications or sending third party direct marketing communications to customers via email or text message. Customers have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us, and we will either delete customer’s data from our systems or move customer’s data to our "unsubscribe list". However, customers acknowledge this will limit our ability to provide the best possible services to customers. 4.10 As already indicated above, with customer’s permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use customer’s data for marketing purposes which may lead to us contacting customers by email and/or telephone with information, news and offers on our Services.
