This includes completing and managing your booking, assessing ancillary products, sending you contractual-based communications by email, call or SMS in relation to your booking (e.g. confirmations, modifications and reminders), and responding to your queries. Such communications could be managed by us or by our travel partners.

We may request your authorisation to process your personal data for certain purposes related to our travel-related services, such as contacting you through specific instant messaging platforms different from those stated in the “Booking” subsection (e.g. Whatsapp, Telegram, etc.), or in order to send information previously requested by travel services providers. For those cases, we will process your personal data once you provide us with your consent.

To contact you whenever a travel service provider is not going to be able to provide you with the service (e.g. due to bankruptcy, insolvency, or equivalent) and it might affect your booking. This processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.

If the processing is related to the services provided, the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party.

To try to remember your search and contact you immediately after, in case you have not finalised a booking online, as we believe that this additional service benefits you, by allowing you to carry on with a booking without having to fill in your reservation details again. This processing is necessary for legitimate interest purposes, since we have a commercial interest in facilitating further booking reservations.

To inform you how to contact us if you need assistance while you are away or other data that we feel might be useful to you in your planning or getting the best of your trip, or data of upcoming trips or a summary of previous bookings you made with us.

Not all calls or chats are recorded. However, when you contact Customer Service, due to contractual and legal purposes, we must record them, albeit they are kept for a limited amount of time and automatically deleted thereafter (unless we have a legitimate interest to keep such recordings for a longer period, including fraud investigation and legal purposes). These processing activities are necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party.

With regard to those calls and online communications recorded for quality purposes, those processing activities are necessary for preserving our legitimate interest in improving the quality of our services.

We remind you that our staff may as well ask for authentication questions, ensuring that your reservation details are kept confidential.

In certain jurisdictions, we need to request your consent in order to record the call (e.g. when the call is being made from Germany).

This is part of our drive to enhance the user experience. By user experience, we concretely mean:

• testing and troubleshooting purposes, and
• improving the functionality and quality of our online travel services.

The processing of your personal data will be necessary for legitimate interest purposes, since, we have an interest in improving the network and information security, and since we have an interest in improving the quality of our services, respectively.

Finally, we will also elaborate anonymised statistics regarding the overall conversion rate of the website. This processing is necessary for legitimate interests purposes, since we have a commercial interest to assess the percentage of users that have become customers.

One example of this is our five-attempt password policy (if you incorrectly enter your password more than five times, we will block your account, requiring you to change your password).

Another example is our preventive stolen-credential control on the internet (if we might have any hint that your credentials could have been compromised, we may also block your account and ask you to reactivate it with a new password).

With these examples, among other actions, we protect your data and reduce fraud risk. As some of these security measures are compulsory by law and international standards, the corresponding personal data processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject. In other cases, we have deployed security measures that require the processing of personal data for legitimate interest purposes, since we have an interest in preventing fraud.

Do not share your Booking ID

When you make a booking you will be assigned with a Booking ID. This reference will be included in your booking confirmation email.

Please, always keep your Booking ID confidential. If you share it with third persons, they might access your data. If you travel with others and you do not want them to have access to your booking data it might be advisable that you carry out your booking separately. For example, we recommend you not to share this data or any other relating to your trip on social media.

Do not share your account data with anyone and use a unique and strong passwordTo make sure that access to your account on our Platforms is safe please do not share your log-in data with anyone.

When you finish using our Platforms, please make sure to log out of your session if someone else might access your device. Avoid connecting using your account from non-trusted devices or networks like the ones in hotels, libraries or cyber coffees. If you do, please do not forget to log out once finished.

It is important that you protect yourself against unauthorised third-party access to your password and to your devices. We recommend that you use a unique strong password for your account that you do not use for other online accounts and you should renew it every reasonable period of time, such as once a year. Malicious actors may try to connect to your account using stolen credentials from other (non-related to us) services.

Of course, apply the same approach for your email account, by using unique strong credentials (as is our secure touchpoint to send you “reset link passwords”).

Be cautious and protect yourself from internet fraud and “Phishing”

Please, always double-check the sender of the emails and the links or documents attached to them. If you don’t trust or have doubts, do not open the attachments or click on the links.

There is a broadly spread type of internet fraud practice known as “Phishing” aimed to illegally obtain your data by deception or by installing malware on your device and stealing your saved credentials.

“Phishing” is unsolicited emails that lead you to insert or confirm your passwords or bank details on a false or cloned website. Also, they try to make you download documents with malware, or install malicious software on your computer that will be used to steal your information, like your credentials.

These fraudsters pretend to be somebody of your trust, a bargain, somebody that needs urgent action from you, etc.If you have doubts regarding any communication that you might have received by someone saying that is us, please, contact us through our chat in our Help Center.

Use only original software

You may want to download our applications from alternative markets. Applications on those markets are not uploaded by us, so they may contain malware used to steal your credentials.

You have the right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data about you (and which you cannot update yourself with your account settings or through our Customer Service).

You may request information relating to your data and copies of such data.

You may also be entitled to request copies of the data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format where technically feasible.

In any case, we will immediately erase them when we can do so. Because we protect our services from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your data may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time (within a week).

You may require us not to process your data for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest, such as for direct marketing. If you object to such processing, we will no longer process your data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the exercise or defence of legal claims. You can object at any time to the following processing activities of your personal data described in section 3:
