All other optional data is processed with the lawful basis of Article 6.1.f UK GDPR – legitimate interest, which is to ensure the traveller receives the best service available.

 

We will use your personal data to maintain communication with you, and to send information about our services that we feel would be of interest.

We require your personal data to enter a contract to supply our services and to fulfil all the requirements of domestic and international travel. If you fail to provide the required personal data, we will not be able to provide our services to you.

 

We may receive your personal data from a third party, such as employers or management companies which are facilitating travel on your behalf.

 

Recipients of your data

 

As a general principle, we will not transfer your personal data to other recipients without your permission. There are some exceptions to this:

  • If you do not pay your bills, we may choose to engage a third party to recover any money you owe us. Our lawful basis for doing this is Article 6.1.f - we have a legitimate interest to pursue money owed to us.

Those organisations that process personal data on our behalf are subject to a data processing contract as required by Article 28 of the UK GDPR. This ensures that your data is handled in accordance with the UK GDPR.

 

Transferring your data outside of the UK

 

Data is held in the UK, Canada and the USA. The transfer of data to Canada is performed under a recognised adequacy decision and the USA, via Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU and currently valid for UK use.
