Lastly, we use your personal information to help us better understand, direct, and respond to your enquiries and requests.
b) If you book an Expedition with us, we will ask you to provide certain details about your travel arrangements. This is likely to include details of your passports, emergency contacts, travel insurance arrangements, preferences and special requirements, flights (if you arrange your own flights) and amounts (if any) to be contributed to offset the carbon for your flights through the ClimateCare scheme. This will also include the personal details of any other travelers who are travelling on your booking.
We will use this information to help us organise your Expedition, make bookings on your behalf and ensure that you (and any other travelers who are travelling on your booking ) receive the products and services set out in your itinerary.
We collect this information so we can fulfil our contract with you and provide you with the quality of service we strive to provide.
Where you are a regular traveler we may retain some of this personal information so that we can use it when you next book with us as we have a legitimate interest to improve our traveler journey and ensure we look after our regular travelers.

d) We may collect and use information from various sources in connection with the marketing and advertising of our services. This may include your contact details (and your marketing preferences) to contact you with certain marketing messages (e.g. marketing emails). We may also use data we collect from you (either directly or via our website or advertising) to help us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to establish what does and doesn’t interest you.
e) We may collect details about you, such as your username, when you engage with us on social media (by mentioning or tagging us in a post or contacting us directly) this is so that we can respond to any comments and queries you have.
f) We may collect and use certain other personal information when we correspond with you (whether by telephone, email or otherwise). For example, we may record both in-bound and out-bound telephone and video conferencing calls, or collect information when you use our LiveChat or SMS features to speak with our Experts.

2.2 We may also collect and use certain sensitive (Special Category) personal information about you. Such information may include specific details of any relevant health conditions, disabilities, mobility and access requirements, and special dietary requirements including allergies. We collect this information directly from you to try to ensure that your Expedition is planned with your specific needs in mind and can be operated safely. This information will be shared with our suppliers overseas. We may therefore need to ask for your explicit consent to process this information.
2.3 To the extent you provide us with information about third parties (such as other travelers or guests on your Expeditions) we ask you to confirm that you have obtained consent from the relevant third parties to do this. Please also tell them about this privacy policy and give them our contact details if they have any queries. Please make sure you let us know if any of these third parties would like to speak to us directly, either about the Expedition or about our use of their data.
3.1 In order to make sure that we run our business efficiently, and to make sure that you get the service that you expect, we will need to share your personal information, from time to time, as necessary, with the following third parties:
a) Selected trusted third-party business partners (such as the local businesses we partner with in the locations our clients travel to) and technology service providers to perform services related to the contracts we enter into with you.
b) Prospective buyers of our business or assets, which may include your personal information.
c) Any other third parties if necessary to comply with legal obligations or enforce agreements, for example, we are required to provide airlines with a passenger mobile phone number and email contact details under IATA Resolution 830d for the airline to inform the passenger of any operational difficulties.
4.1 In performing certain of the functions above, we rely on technology that makes automatic and instantaneous decisions based on the criteria we determine to be relevant and the personal information we collect about you when you make an enquiry or request a brochure from us. We routinely test our software to improve the accuracy of these decisions and to prevent unintended bias.
When you book an Expedition, we will need to provide your information to local accommodation or service providers. Whenever we send (or permit a third party to send) your personal data outside of your country, we will make sure that we take steps necessary to protect your data as required by applicable laws. For example, we may require the overseas recipient to enter into particular contract terms, or we will make sure that the information that we give to them will be limited to what is needed to perform our contract with you.
The personal data that we collect from you will also be processed by staff operating outside of your country who work for us, such as one of our suppliers. This includes staff involved in, among other things, providing support services.
We take the security of your information very seriously and have put physical, technical, operational, and administrative strategies, controls, and measures in place to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure as required by law and in accordance with accepted good industry practice. We will always keep these under review to make sure that the measures we have implemented remain appropriate.
We will only keep your personal information for the period of time that is necessary, and the applicable retention periods will always be linked to our purposes for processing your personal information. This means that the retention periods will vary according to the type of personal information. For example, some transaction information will be kept for a number of years in order to comply with various finance and tax related obligations. If you need more information on this, please contact: [email protected]
