At David Ogden Holidays we are committed to ensure the Data you provide to us is protected and secure, the Privacy Policy below sets out how the information we collect from you will be used to fulfil the required services.

 

What Personal Information Do We Ask For?

Whether you make an enquiry, request or booking we will usually ask for name, address, email and telephone number. If making a booking that travels outside of the UK, and the airline, Ferry Company or hotel requires it, we may also ask for your passport details and date of birth. If you choose to pay by credit/debit card we will also require these details, once payment is processed we no longer have access to these details.

 

Why We Collect it?

We require these details in order to carry out our obligations to you, to provide an effective and efficient service and to arrange travel and other services you are requesting. We also need these details to communicate with you regarding your booking, to notify and changes to our services and to provide answers to any of your own queries. We may also need to collect more sensitive personal data such as any medical conditions, disabilities and special requirements dependent on the type of holiday you are booking. We will also use your details to provide you with information about products, services and promotions that may be of interest to you, usually in our twice yearly brochure mailing, by email or by mailed flyer. This will always be sent to the contact name that made the request/booking.

 

Will We Share or Disclose any of this Personal Information?

We will not share your data unless we need to. When making a travel booking some of the personal data you provide will need to be passed to and processed and stored by relevant third parties, such as, airlines, ferries, hotels and transport companies to facilitate your booking. Some of these parties may be based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Organisations that are based outside of the EEA may not be subject to the same level of controls in regard to data protection as exist within the UK and the EEA. In order for you to travel outside of the UK, we may be required by law to disclose some of your personal data to government bodies or other authorities in the UK and in other countries, such as those responsible for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism.
