The bases on which we process information about you
Data protection laws require us to determine under which of six defined bases we process your personal information, and to notify you of the basis. In order to provide you with this detail, we have prepared the following table which describes the purpose to which we are using your data and the legal basis for doing so.
Purpose |
Legal Basis |
To provide you with information for a travel holiday and arrange your booking | Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract and in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract |
To transfer your personal data to those suppliers fulfilling or providing travel arrangements you have booked | Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract |
To comply with laws and regulations | Processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations |
For direct marketing purposes to make suggestions and recommendations to you about travel arrangements that may be of interest to you | Processing is based on your specific consent |
To make back-ups of your data in case of emergencies and for disaster recovery purposes | Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract and to comply with legal obligations |

If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.
Data we collect about you
We will only collect the data necessary in order to provide you the travel services you request, such as, your first name, last name, title, date of birth, gender, email, contact numbers, passport details.
We only collect data relating to children when you make a booking with us and you have children in your party.
We collect the following special categories of personal data about you:
- Dietary requirements; and
- Health information.
We collect and process the above special categories of personal data only where it is necessary to do so in order to provide you with the travel service you have requested and only where you have provided us with your explicit consent to do so. You can withdraw this consent at any time however that may mean we are unable to make the necessary travel arrangements that you have requested.
Your email address is also collected for the purpose of direct marketing if you sign up to our newsletter. This is based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Information we share with third parties
We may share your details with a number of external parties in order to provide you with travel services and provide marketing services. For example: our Third Party Service Providers such as technology suppliers and storage providers.
Many of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Controls on data protection may not be the same as the legal requirements within the EEA. When you request a booking for travel arrangements which are located outside the EEA, we will have to transfer your personal data to those suppliers fulfilling or providing those travel arrangements in order to make your booking and for those suppliers to be able to provide you with the travel arrangements you have booked. In order to transfer your data, we will rely on the derogation under Article 49 of the GDPR in order to transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA (as the transfer relates to the performance of a contract for your benefit), and you hereby permit us to do so.
We may also share your personal information that we hold as a result of our legal and regulatory obligations. This can include An Garda Siochána, other official agencies and on foot of a Court Order or Subpoena.

Requests to restrict the use of your information or to object to the processing of your data may lead to us being unable to continue to offer you a service.
