How we use your personal data
Current regulatory laws state we can only use your data for one of more of the following reasons - when you have consented to it, there is a requirement to fulfil a contract, if we have a legal duty to use your data or when it is in our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests are business or commercial reasons for using your data, however, our legitimate interests will never outweigh what is best for you.
We may from time to time contact you by post, email or telephone with information about our holidays, including new products, offers and forthcoming events.
We will only contact you if you have opted-in to receive such materials, or you have made a booking or requested a brochure in the past and not told us you no longer wish to receive marketing materials.
If you no longer wish to receive such information from us you may opt out at any time by providing your full name, address and postcode to us by phone, email or post. If you have a website profile, you are able to manage your preferences by logging in and going to the ‘My Preferences’ section.
If you decide you no longer wish to receive marketing communications, you will still receive emails regarding bookings, updates to your holiday or any cancellations – this is to ensure we are fulfilling our contract with you.
