  • Usage data which includes information about how the User uses the Website, products and services.

  • Marketing and communication data which includes the Users preferences in receiving marketing from the Owner and third parties and the Users communication preferences.

Further details on each type of Personal Data collected are provided in the dedicated sections of this privacy policy or by specific explanation texts displayed prior to the Personal Data collection.

Personal Data may be freely provided by the User, or, in case of Usage Data, collected automatically when using this Website. We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal the Users identity. For example, Usage Data may be aggregated to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if Aggregate Data is combined or connected with Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify the User, the combined Personal Data will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We will only collect and process sensitive personal data (which may include your dietary requirements which may disclose your religious or philosophical beliefs, health data, race or ethnicity) where you have provided us with your explicit consent to do so.

You are not under any obligation to consent to us processing your sensitive personal data. However, without your consent, we won’t be able to make the necessary arrangements to provide the travel services that you have booked or are attempting to book. As a result, if you do not provide your consent, we will be unable to proceed with your booking.

If you are happy to consent to our use of your sensitive personal data, you will also be able to withdraw your consent at any time. However, as this will prevent us from providing the travel service you have booked, we will be required to treat any withdrawal of consent as a cancellation of your booking and the cancellation charges referred to in our Booking Terms and Conditions will become payable.

Unless specified otherwise, all Personal Data requested by this Website is mandatory and failure to provide this Personal Data may make it impossible for us to perform the contract the Owner is or is trying to enter into with the User (for example, to provide the services to Users).If the User fails to provide the necessary details then the Owner will not be able to provide the services booked or are attempting to book. In this case, depending upon when the User fails to provide the necessary Personal Data, the Owner may either not be able to process the booking or may have to cancel the booking, in which case it will be treated as a cancellation by the User in accordance with the Package Tours Terms and Conditions. The User will be notified if the Owner is unable to process a booking or is required to cancel a booking for this reason. In cases where this Website specifically states that some Personal Data is not mandatory, Users are free not to communicate this Personal Data without consequences to the availability or the functioning of the Service.

Users who are uncertain about which Personal Data is mandatory are welcome to contact the data privacy manager.

Users are responsible for any third-party Personal Data obtained, published or shared through this Website and confirm that they have the third party's consent to provide the Personal Data to the Owner.

How Users Personal Data is collected

The Owner uses different methods to collect Personal Data from and about the User including through:

Direct interactions.

Users may provide Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with the Owner by phone, phone, and email or otherwise. This includes Personal Data provided when:

  • A booking of travel services is made;

  • An account is created on the Website;

  • A subscription to the Owner’s newsletter or other publications is made;

  • A User requests marketing to be sent to them;

  • A User provides feedback to the Owner.

Automated technologies or interactions.

The Owner may automatically collect Technical Data about equipment, browsing actions and patterns. This is collected by using cookies and other similar technologies. Please see our Cookies Policy for further details. Any use of Cookies – or of other tracking tools – by this Website or by the owners of third-party services used by this Website serves the purpose of providing the Service required by the User, in addition to any other purposes described in the present document and in the Cookie Policy.

Third Parties.

In addition to the Owner, in some cases, the Personal Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of the Website (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties such as those listed at the “Detailed information on the processing of Personal Data” section.

Please note that when using the Website, the User may be able to share information through social networks like Facebook and Instagram. For example, when the User ‘likes’, ‘shares’ or review the Owners services. When doing this, the User’s personal information may be visible to the providers of those social networks and/or their other users. It is the User’s responsibility to set appropriate privacy settings on social network accounts so the User is comfortable with how the information is used and shared on them. This will not be the responsibility of the Owner.

Mode and place of processing the Personal Data

Methods of processing

The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Personal Data. In addition, the Owner limits access to the Users Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process the Users Personal Data on the instructions of the Owner and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

The Owner has put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify the User and any applicable regulator of a breach where the Owner is legally required to do so.

The Personal Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated.

Legal basis of processing

The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:

  • The Provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;

  • Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Owner is subject;

  • Processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Owner;

  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner or by a third party.

Generally the Owner does not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing the Users Personal Data other than in relation to sending direct marketing communications to the User via email or text message. The User has the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time.

In any case, the Owner will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Disclosures of Personal Data

The Owner may have to share the User’s personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table.

  • (A) Internal Third Parties such as other companies in the WeRoad group acting as joint controller are based in Italy and provide booking management services, as well as IT and system administration services and undertake leadership reporting.

  • (B) External Third Parties such as:

    • Suppliers of travel services acting as processors based in Italy who provide the travel services that up any booking the User makes with the Owner.

    • Service providers acting as processors based in Italy and UK who provide IT and system administration services.

    • Professional advisors acting as processors or joint controller including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in Italy and UK who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.

    • HM Revenue & Customers, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controller based in the UK who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

  • (C) Third parties to whom the Owner may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of the business or assets. Alternatively, the Owner may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to the Owner’s business, then the new owners may use the User’s Personal Data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy.

The Owner requires all third parties to respect the security of the User’s Personal Data and to treat it in accordance with the law. The Owner does not allow third-party service providers to use User’s Personal Data for their own purposes and only permit them to process User’s Personal Data for specified purposes and in accordance with the Owner’s instructions.

Place and international transfers

The Personal Data is processed at the Owner's operating offices in Italy and in the UK office and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located.

Depending on the User's location, data transfers may involve transferring the User's Data outside the UK. To find out more about the place of processing of such transferred Data, Users can check the section containing details about the processing of Personal Data. Many of the external third parties are based outside the UK so their processing of the Users Personal Data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

Whenever the Owner transfers Personal Data outside of the UK, a similar degree of protection will be afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • The country(ies) that the Personal Data is being transferred to have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data.

  • For certain service providers and external third parties, specific contracts approved for use in the UK are used which give Personal Data the same protection it has in the UK.

Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis of Personal Data transfers to a country outside the UK and about the security measures taken by the Owner to safeguard their Personal Data.

The User should contract the Owner if further information on the specific mechanism used by the Owner when transferring Personal Data outside the UK is required.

Retention time

Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for.

Therefore:

  • Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the Owner and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.

  • Personal Data collected for the purposes of the Owner’s legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfil such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Owner.

The Owner may be allowed to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.

By law the Owner has to keep basic information about the Users (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, the Owner will consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the User’s Personal Data, the purposes of the processing and whether the Owner can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or requirements.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.

In some circumstances the Owner may anonymise Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with the User) for research or statistical purposes in which case the Owner may use this information indefinitely without further notice to the User.

The purposes of processing

The Personal Data concerning the User is collected to allow the Owner to provide its Service, comply with its legal obligations, respond to enforcement requests, protect its rights and interests (or those of its Users or third parties), detect any malicious or fraudulent activity, as well as the following: User database management, Interaction with external social networks and platforms, Contacting the User, Remarketing and behavioral targeting, Content commenting, Advertising, Analytics, Displaying content from external platforms, Tag Management, Managing landing and invitation pages, Managing contacts and sending messages, Handling payments and Managing support and contact requests.
