The marketing material we send to you may occasionally also include information about selected business partners who provide services closely related to our own product.

When do we share your personal data?

In order to provide you with the services, we may share your personal information with third parties such as:

  • Third-party suppliers we work with to provide your booking and our other services to you.

  • Airports, immigration/border control, and/or other government authorities. Sometimes we have to provide ?Advance Passenger Information? about you to border or immigration authorities of the country of your travel destination. This would usually be the basic information contained in your passport, but the laws of certain countries may require additional information. We will provide this information when we are required to do so.
  • Third parties/other Travelopia companies for marketing. Your personal data may be processed on our behalf by our trusted third-party suppliers to assist and help us in consumer classification, which enables more accurate and relevant marketing.

  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in accordance with the new owner?s privacy policies, which may vary from this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

The choices we offer are related to your information and your responsibilities based on those choices.

People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used.
