Privacy Statement & Cookie Policy
OVERVIEW
Your privacy is very important to us.
To help protect your privacy, we adhere to the following guidelines:
This website will explicitly ask when it needs information that personally identifies our customers or allows it to contact our customers (“Personal Information”).
All personal information provided by the users are kept securely and are not shared with any third parties.
Users who have subscribed to our e-mail newsletter service will receive promotional mailings and e-mails from our business. If you wish to no longer receive our emails, you may unsubscribe at any time, by clicking the unsubscribe link which will be contained in each promotional email sent by us.
This website may disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) comply with applicable law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Cruxton Travel or this site, and (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Cruxton Travel, the site, or the public.
If at any time a customer believes that this website has not adhered to these principles, please notify us immediately and we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and correct the problem.
We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies, etc. The information may also be provided to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs and immigration if required by them, or as required by law.
Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not, however, pass any information on to any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary or religious requirements. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons.
