1. we have obtained your consent to do so, such as through an opt-in box on any form or website of ours; and/or
2. you have made a booking with us and there is our legitimate business interest to do so for similar products or services.

If you do not want to receive direct marketing activities anymore, you can manage your communications preferences on your online account or unsubscribe by following the link at the end of every of our electronic communications.

In addition to data protection law if we use your personal information for direct marketing purposes we may also be subject to additional rules that regulate direct marketing, such as the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2009/136/EC. The term “direct marketing” essentially means direct marketing material or advertising at a particular individual.

10.1 Direct marketing by us

We will use your personal data to send you marketing information (including adverts and details of promotions) about travel services:

(1) offered by us;

(2) which can be booked with third parties through us;

(3) which can be booked with other companies within our group (i.e. the Travel Corporation Group); and

(4) offered by third parties selected by us. However, we will not pass any of your details to third parties without your prior and specific consent.

Where applicable we will only send you marketing information about the categories of travel services you have selected. Also, we will only contact you in the manner you agreed to (e.g. by email or sms).

From time to time we may disclose your contact details (i.e. your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, mobile number, fax number and preferences) to:

other companies within our The Travel Corporation, which are bound by the same requirements set in this privacy policy; and other companies which offer services that may enhance your travel experience or be able to help you to finalise your travel arrangements (“third parties”). Such third parties may then contact you directly with marketing information about services and products offered by them. Such third parties are not part of The Travel Corporation and are not bound by this privacy policy. However, we ensure that our partners will only contact you in the manner you agreed to (e.g. email, text) when providing your consent.

10.3 Withdrawing from Direct Marketing

You are free to stop receiving marketing information from us at any time by contacting us as detailed in this privacy notice or by following the instructions set out in our marketing communications.

We may disclose your personal data to any third party (e.g. supplier, contractor sub-contractor) we make any enquiries with concerning or engage or sub-contract to perform any booking or other contract, including to provide any travel, tour or other products or services we have agreed to provide to you in order to perform our contract with you.

We ensure that these third parties treat your personal data with the same level of care and duty as us.

11.6 Public forums etc.

Where any facility on our website is clearly designed to make certain of your personal data public (e.g. posts you make to any public forum or reviews facility), then any personal data you provide in relation to that forum or other facility, which is provided in circumstance where it is clear that it is intended to be published, will be disclosed to the public accordingly, subject to moderation by us and to the terms of this privacy policy.

If a Business Customer is making a booking or booking enquiry on behalf of an individual, with that person’s authority, then we may disclose to our Business Customer that individual’s personal data as reasonably required in connection with such booking or enquiry, or the subsequent performance of or payment for any booking made.

11.10 Business acquirers

12.2 Processing on their own account

In other cases, your personal data may need to be provided to them to be held and processed by them in their own right and on their own account. In such case, they will have their own responsibility for your personal data, subject to their own privacy policy, and we will not be responsible for what they do with it following disclosure. This will only be done to perform the contract. When this happens, you will be informed by the third party and they will provide their privacy policy to you.

2. using secured servers to store your information;
3. verifying the identity of any individual who requests access to information prior to granting them access to the information
4. using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) software or other similar encryption technologies to encrypt your personal and payment transactions.

If you require an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. We may process your personal data for unrelated purposes, based on our legitimate interest.

• There are some circumstances in which personal data may be processed for purposes that go beyond the original purpose for which the personal data was collected. When this is susceptible to be the case, we will make our best efforts to tell you in advance and request your consent when appropriate.
• For circumstances where we may have other secondary purposes, for processing already existing data which you have provided as part of a contract for example, booking information. The objective of further processing may include conducting marketing insights and data analysis to have a better understanding of our customers.
• We will adopt an aggregate data model that allows us to derive aggregated data from your personal information. Aggregated data is not considered personal data by law, as you will not be directly or indirectly identified. For example, we may make use of aggregated data to see performance statistics of our travel consortia/consultants and to gain insights into customer demographics for improving marketing and customer service.
• However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it directly or indirectly identifies you, we shall treat the combined data as personal data which will be processed within the strict guidelines of the GDPR.
• We will not repurpose sensitive data without explicit consent and where we rely on Legitimate Interest; will ensure we conduct Legitimate Interest assessments and data protection impact assessments (DPIA), prior to carrying out the proposed processing activity.

12. HOW THIRD PARTIES WILL HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Where we provide your personal data to a third party one of the following two circumstances will apply:

12.1 PROCESSING ON OUR BEHALF

In some cases, your personal data may be held and otherwise processed by others on our behalf. We have not included the names of our service partners as these will change over time. We will remain responsible for what they do with your personal data, and your personal data will only be held and processed by them in accordance with our instructions and this privacy policy. The sharing of your data is necessary for the performance of any contract with you and for the efficient provision of our services.

12.2 PROCESSING ON THEIR OWN ACCOUNT

In other cases, your personal data may need to be provided to them to be held and processed by them in their own right and on their own account. In such case, they will have their own responsibility for your personal data, subject to their own privacy policy, and we will not be responsible for what they do with it following disclosure. This will only be done to perform the contract. When this happens, you will be informed by the third party and they will provide their privacy policy to you.

13. LOCATION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We (and any affiliate, subcontractor or other person processing your personal data on our behalf) may transfer, store and otherwise process your personal data anywhere within the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

We will only send your personal data outside the EEA to companies either within our group or to parties with whom we have a contract based on the Standard Contractual Clauses as published by the European Commission. We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our group companies to follow the same rules when processing your personal data. This means within our group and for those other organisations with whom we have contracts we ensure that we have in place adequate safeguards in respect of such transfers outside the EEA. You can find out about what adequate safeguards these are by contacting us using the details provided in Section 16 of this privacy notice.

14. KEEPING YOUR DATA SECURE

14.1 OUR SECURITY MEASURES

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure your information and to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful use and accidental loss or destruction, including:

• only sharing and providing access to your information to the minimum extent necessary, subject to confidentiality restrictions where appropriate, and on an anonymised basis wherever possible;
• using secured servers to store your information;
• verifying the identity of any individual who requests access to information prior to granting them access to the information; and
• using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) software or other similar encryption technologies to encrypt your personal and payment transactions.

Unfortunately, transmission of information over email is not secure, and if you submit any information to us over the internet by email we will do our best to protect your personal data and have contractual processes in place with our service providers to do this. Once we have received your information, we will use relevant procedures and adequate security measures to prevent unauthorised access.

For your own privacy protection, we encourage you to maintain anti-virus and other malware protection software on your computers and other devices, and to maintain your own measures to protect your personal data. Please do not include sensitive personal data in any emails you may send to us, including payment card information.

We also encourage you to be careful about who you give personal data to. We never contact you to ask you for your payment card information, or sensitive personal data such as passport numbers or log-in details, and we will only ask you for such information in person or through our website, or by telephone in connection with a booking you are making or have made. Please let us know if you someone purports to contact you in our name.

15. YOUR RIGHTS

You have certain rights under data protection laws, which we summarise below. If you contact us about these rights, we may ask for proof of your identity before we act on any request, and we may refuse to act if you do not provide this or your identity is not established by you. This is to ensure that your data is protected and kept secure. More information about your rights and our obligations can be found on the website of the UK Information Commissioner's Office: www.ico.org.uk.

To exercise any of your rights below, please contact us as per the contact details provided in Section 16. You can also exercise some of these rights directly through our online form at ttc.com/personal-data-request.

You may request we tell you whether we are processing personal data about you, to tell you what personal data we are processing, for what purposes, from which sources we have collected it, who we disclose it to and to provide you with a copy of your personal data that we hold. We will act within one month after receiving a valid request (i.e. when we will have been able to identify you as the data subject). If your request is complex, or if we have a high volume of requests, we may extend this period for two additional months. We will advise you if this is the case.

The law does allow us, in certain cases, to refuse to act upon your request or to charge a reasonable administration fee, if we estimate that the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. We will advise you at the time if this is the case along with your possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority and seeking a judicial remedy.

15.1 RECTIFICATION

You have the right to have your personal data amended if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

15.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT

You have the right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing or where we use it on the basis that we say we have a legitimate interest in using it.

15.3 ERASURE

You have the right to have your personal information deleted or removed in the following circumstances:

• The data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or otherwise processed;
• Where you withdraw your consent, where consent was used as the legal basis for processing;
• Personal data has been unlawfully processed;
• When you object to the processing and we have no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing;
• Erasure is required for compliance with a legal requirement; or
• Data has been collected in relation to the offering of online services to a child.

When a request for erasure is valid, we will take reasonable steps to inform third parties which are processing the personal data that you have requested us to delete.

We have the right to refuse to act on a request of erasure if the data is necessary for:

• Exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
• Compliance with a legal obligation; or
• The establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

15.4 PORTABILITY

You have the right to receive your personal data which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller, when:

15.5 RESTRICT PROCESSING

You have the right to obtain from us the restriction of processing of your personal data where one of the following applies:

• You contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
• The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
• We no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data is necessary for you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
• You have objected to processing pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override yours.

Where the processing of your personal data is restricted, at the exception of storage, we will only process your personal data with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another individual or organisation, or because we are legally required to do so.

We will inform you before the restriction of processing is lifted.

15.6 RIGHT TO WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT

You are free to withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on your consent as a legal basis for processing. Please contact us using the details outlined in Section 16 of this policy. See also Section 10.3 for details as to how to object to our direct marketing communications.

However, before you do so, we would hope that you will contact us first to discuss any complaint or concerns you have. You can contact us using the details provided in Section 16 of this privacy notice.

15.8 CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may change this privacy policy at any time and from time to time without notice to you, including by publishing a new version on our website. You should check this privacy policy for updates each time you visit our website to be sure that you are aware of any changes.
