How we use the information you provide

How we use the information you provide depends on the Services you use, how you use them and your preferences. Below we’ve listed the reasons we use the information you provide:

To offer our Services and personalise your experience:

We use your information to offer you our Services, including to process transactions, to authenticate your identity when you login and to provide customer support. We merge your information and your activities to offer a seamless experience, which includes allowing you to find information from one particular Service while searching from another or to present you with relevant product information as you browse our websites.

For research and development:

We’re constantly aiming to improve the Services we offer you by making them more intelligent, more secure, more integrated, faster and more helpful. As well as via direct feedback, we use the information we receive on how people use our Services to troubleshoot and identify usage, trends, activity patterns and potential areas for improvement and integration of our Services. E.g when we wish to enhance a specific feature, we study the most recent interactions of several users, including how often they use the feature, to collect relevant details. We automatically analyze and aggregate the most commonly used searches to develop the relevance and accuracy of suggested products. Sometimes, we apply the knowledge we gain from our Services to enhance and develop similar features or to improve the integration of our other Services. Occasionally, we test and analyze specific new features within a limited group of users before we roll it out to everyone.

Communications with you about our Services:

We use your contact details to send transactional communications by email and through our Services. This includes messages to confirm your booking, to remind you about outstanding payments, to respond to your comments, requests and questions, to provide customer support and to send you information. Sometimes, we might also send you messages as you onboard to a specific Service, in order to help you use that Service better. These messages are all part of our Services and in the majority of cases, you can’t opt out of them. If there is the option to opt out, it will be made clear within the message itself or in your account settings.

To promote, market and boost engagement with our Services:

We may use your contact information and details about how you interact with our Services to send you promotional messages we think will interest you.

We might also get in touch with you about our latest offers, promos and competitions. You can decide whether or not you wish to receive these messages by following the instructions described below under “Opt-out of communications.”

Customer support:

At times we might use your details to resolve issues you may have, to reply to your requests for help and to enhance our Services.

For safety and security:

We use the details we receive about you and how you use our Services to confirm accounts and activity, we well as to follow fraudulent or suspicious activity and to identify all violations of our Service policies.

To guard our legal rights and business interests:

Where we’re required by law or where we find it necessary to protect our legal rights, interests and the interests of others, we will use your details to assist with legal compliance, claims, regulatory and audit functions, in addition to disclosures with regards to the sale, merger or acquisition of a business.

With your consent:

We only use your information when you’ve given us your consent to do so for a definitive reason not already listed. For example, we may decide to publish customer stories or testimonials to market our Services, always with your permission.

Legal bases for processing (for EEA users)

If you’re based in the European Economic Area (EEA), it’s important you understand we only collect and process your information when we have legal bases to do so according to applicable EU laws. The circumstances depend on which of our Services you use, as well as how you use them. This means we collect and use your information when:

You give us your consent to do so for a certain use.
We’re required to process your data in compliance with a legal bond.

If you’ve given your consent for us to use your information for a certain purpose, you can change your mind at any time. But be aware that this won’t affect any processing already completed.

Requesting that we stop using your data:

You may request that we cease to access, store, use or otherwise process your information where you believe we don’t have the right to.

Even after you decline our promotional messages, you will still receive transactional messages from us about our Services. You can opt out of selected notification messages in your account settings.

Data portability:

Data portability is the capacity to receive some of your data in a format you can move between service providers. E.g when you transfer your mobile phone number from one carrier to another. Data portability may apply to some of your details, but not all of them.
