What happens if we send your data outside of the EEA?
We will only send your data outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) to:

  • Comply with a legal duty
  • Provide our products and services

If we do transfer information outside of the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EEA. To do this, we will use one or more of these safeguards:

  • Only transfer it to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA, as deemed by the European Commission
  • Ensure that a contract with the recipient is in place that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA
  •  Transfer it to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This is a framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between the US and EU countries.

You can find out more about these safeguards on the European Commission Justice and Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) websites.

Here is a list of the services we currently use which are located outside of the EEA:

What happens if you choose not to give us your personal data?
We may need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you.

If you choose not to give us this personal data, it may delay or prevent us providing our products or services to you. For example, not providing an email address would prevent us from providing you with an e-ticket to travel.

Sometimes we might ask for information that is useful for us to know but is not required by law or a contract. When this is the case, we will make this clear by marking it as optional. You do not have to provide these extra bits of information, and your choice will not prevent us providing you with our products or services.

How do we use your data for marketing?
We may use your personal data to tell you about our relevant products, competitions and offers. This is what we mean when we talk about ‘marketing’. We may also use your data to help create a profile to find potential customers like you.

We will send you marketing based on what you tell us about yourself, data we collect when you use our services, and using information from third parties we work with. We use this information to get a view on what we think would interest you the most.

We will only send you marketing messages if we have either your consent or a legitimate interest. This is when we have a legitimate business or commercial reason to use your information that does not unfairly go against what is right and best for you.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages by contacting us at any time by clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of any marketing email or updating your preferences in your online account.

Whatever you choose for marketing, you'll still receive service messages, such as order confirmations and product updates.

How will we treat children’s privacy?
Providing us with your date of birth is completely optional, so it is possible for someone of any age to register and purchase our products or services, should they have the means to pay for it online. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with consent for marketing, we will immediately remove this consent. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us using one of the methods in the 'how to contact us' section so that we will be able to take the necessary actions.

If you do want to contact us, it would be helpful for us to complete your query if you provide us with your address, contact details and what you would like to have a copy of.

Sometimes you may be asked to provide proof of identity before we show you your personal data – this helps us prevent unauthorised access.

Is the personal data we have about you incorrect?

You have the right to question any information we have about you that you think is wrong or incomplete. Please contact us using one of the methods in the 'how to contact us' section or you can update details via your online account.

In some cases, there will be legitimate, legal, or other official reasons for us to keep your data. But please tell us if you think that we should not be using it.

It may be possible for us to restrict the use of your data. This means that it would only be used for certain activities, such as legal claims or to exercise legal rights. If this was to happen, we would not use or share your information in other ways while it is restricted.

You can ask us to restrict the use of your personal data if:

  • It is not accurate

  • It’s not relevant any more, but you want us to keep it for use in legal claims
