Advertisers

We may from time to time use third party advertisers or sponsors on our Service. In the event that we do so we will not disclose identifiable information about individuals but we may provide them with aggregated information about our users. We may also use such aggregated information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (e.g. women in London). We may make use of the personal information we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' and sponsors' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.

Marketing

We may send you information about other products and services that may be of interest to you where:

you have consented to this (via the opt-in box when you register for the Service or elsewhere);
you have purchased a product or service from us (e.g. you have booked a trip with us or purchased a product from the store), unless you have opted-out of receiving such communications;
it is in our legitimate interest to do so, for example it allows us to provide a better service to you.
You can manage your marketing communication preferences by emailing us at info@journeetrips.com. For example, you can request that we only send you marketing information by email.
You have the right at any time to ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes. You can exercise your right to opt out of such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms or registration pages that we use to collect your information, clicking "unsubscribe" links on email communications that we send you or by contacting us by post or using the contact details set out below.

User Generated Content

The Services may enable you to post product reviews and other user-generated content. If you choose to submit user generated content to any public area of the Services, this content will be public and accessible by anyone.

We do not control who will have access to the information that you choose to make available to others, and cannot ensure that parties who have access to such information will respect your privacy or keep it secure. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of any information that you make publicly available, or for the accuracy, use or misuse of any information that you disclose or receive from third parties.

Rights that you have

You have certain rights in relation to personal information we hold about you. Details of these rights and how to exercise them are set out below. We will require evidence of your identity before we are able to act on your request.

Access - you have the right at any time to ask us for a copy of the personal information that we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Right of correction or completion - if information we hold about you is incomplete, inaccurate or outdated you have a right to have the data amended or completed. Please contact us using the details below if you believe this is the case.
Right of erasure - in certain circumstances, you have the right to request that personal information we hold about you is erased. For example, if the information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed or our processing of the information is based on your consent and there are no other legal grounds on which we may process the information.
Right to object to or restrict processing - in certain circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal information by contacting us using the details below. For example, if we are processing your information on the basis of our legitimate interests and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for our processing which override your rights and interests. You also have the right to object to use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes. You may also have the right to restrict our use of your personal information, such as in circumstances where you have challenged the accuracy of the information and during the period where we are verifying its accuracy.
Right to withdraw consent - in the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. You can do this by contacting us using the details in the Contact section below. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so.
In order to exercise any of these rights or if you would like further information please contact us using the details below. Most of the above rights are subject to limitations and exceptions. We will provide reasons if we are unable to comply with any request.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

How long we will hold your information

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the data, the purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy. Please contact us if you require further information.
