Data retention

We retain the personal information we collect from you for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for; including providing you with the service you have requested, improving customer experience, complying with tax regulations and any applicable legal, accounting, audit or reporting requirements.

If you have made an enquiry or agreed to receive marketing communications, we retain your data for up to two years unless you have made a booking with us.

If you have made a booking with us, we have to retain your basic personal data and any information related to your travel for six years - counting from the return day of your latest event - in order to comply with tax regulations and with the obligations imposed upon us by our contract with our insurers. This period also enables us to address and resolve disputes with any parties.

Right to erasure

In some circumstances you can ask us to erase your data. If you contact us to request the erasure of your personal data, we will comply with your request insofar as we are able. Note, however, that this right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.

If we are processing information about you purely for marketing purposes, we are always happy to erase it from our e-mailing list.

In cases where you have enquired or made a booking with us and you request the erasure of your personal data, we will make sure your account is closed and your data is not being processed anymore. Keep in mind, however, that in order to stay compliant with our Data Retention section, we may have to keep your data in our archives.

We will actively review the information we hold and when we have no ongoing legal, business or customer need to retain your personal data anymore, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we then will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until erasure is possible.
