We may disclose your personal information to international third parties, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) (collectively “Cross-border Disclosure”), generally to arrange travel with a travel service provider on your behalf. Whenever we perform Cross-border Disclosures, we will do so in accordance with applicable law and ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards.
Cross-border Disclosures outside the EEA will only be made:
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. Your personal information is generally stored in accordance with the applicable law and for the duration of the relevant statutory limitation period. We do not use vulnerability scanning and/or scanning.
We implement a variety of physical, administrative, and technical measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information due to inherent risks associated with the transmission of personal information via the internet and where there has been a hardware or software failure, or where other circumstances arise outside of our control.
We use cookies and similar technologies to help provide, protect, and improve our services. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your device (e.g. your phone or your computer). For example, a cookie could allow us to recognise your browser, while another could store your preferences. There are two types of cookies used in connection with our services: (1) “session cookies”, and; (2) “persistent cookies.” Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, and can be used again the next time you access our services.
We also use other technologies with similar functionality to cookies, such as web beacons, pixels, mobile identifiers, and tracking URLs, to obtain data. For example, our email messages may contain web beacons and tracking URLs to determine whether you have opened a certain message or accessed a certain link.
We use these technologies for a number of purposes, including:
We may also allow certain business partners to place these technologies on the Website. These partners use these technologies to (1) help us analyse how you use our Website, such as by noting the third party services from which you arrived, (2) market and advertise our services to you on the Website and third party websites, (3) help us detect or prevent fraud or conduct risk assessments, or (4) collect information about your activities on our Website, other sites, and/or the ads you have clicked on. For example, to help us better understand how people use the Website, we work with a number of analytics partners, including Google Analytics. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser by clicking here.
Third parties may also use such tracking technologies to serve ads that they believe are most likely to be of interest to you and measure the effectiveness of their ads both on our Website and on other websites and online services. Targeting and advertising cookies we use may include Google and other advertising networks and services we use from time to time. For more information about targeting and advertising cookies and how you can opt out, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page, or http://youronlinechoices.eu. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. To the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Website and you opt-out of tailored advertising, you may still receive advertising content. In that case, the advertising content will not be tailored to your interests. We do not control any of these opt-out links and are not responsible for the availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.
The Website may use social plugins provided and operated by third parties, such as Facebook’s login and Google login. As a result of this, you may send to the third party the information that you are viewing on a certain part of our Website. If you are not logged in to your account with the third party, then the third party may not know your identity. If you are not logged in to your account with the third party, then the third party may be able to link information or actions about your interactions with our Website to your account with them. Please refer to the third party’s privacy policies to learn more about its data practices.
