Profiling

Fraud prevention: we use a combination of risk screening tools and manual intervention to ensure that customer profiles are not fraudulent. To do this, we compare the personal data provided by customers with data fields such as name, email address, and mobile phone number and use them to accept or reject bookings.
Marketing: we manually segment customers for marketing purposes based on travel history. We use this to make our advertising more relevant to market segments, such as promoting relevant types of trips.

The security of your personal data

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet or email is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted via the websites, applications, email, or through our contact centers; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, theft, and unauthorized use, access, or modification.

From time to time, we will host links to and from the websites of our affiliates or third parties. If you follow a link to one of these websites, these websites will have their own privacy policies and we decline any responsibility for these policies. Please check these policies before submitting any information to these websites.
