To share your data with third party service providers used in the delivery of your purchased holiday arrangements;

Your information may be transferred, processed or stored by individuals or service providers outside of the European Economic Area. This section sets out the precautionary measures and available steps taken to protect your data.

We may need to transfer your data to third parties based outside the EEA who may process, share and store your personal data in order to fulfil the holiday arrangements you have booked with us. By submitting your personal data, you are acknowledging this transferring, storing and processing.

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe;
