Data Protection, Privacy Policy and Marketing Statement

Data Protection and Privacy
In order to process your booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your requirements we need to use the information you provide (such as name, address, any special needs/dietary requirements etc).

We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies etc. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them, or as required by law.

Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will only however, pass any information onto any person responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements.  (If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers (whether in the EEA or not) we cannot provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons.)

All telephone calls are recorded and may be used to check the accuracy of information given by you.  The call recordings may also be used for training purposes.



Marketing
directline city breaks will never sell personal information. Our employees and associated companies are obliged by us to respect confidentiality. We will not use your information, or the information provided by you regarding friends or others in your party, for any purpose other than carrying out your booking or, provided you have not objected to it, to inform you of offers in the future, via email and other means.
