PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains in general terms how iBook Travel protects the privacy of your personal information. We are firmly committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information and maintain various physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal information in our care, including but not limited to:
Our employees undergo credit and criminal checks and are bound by a confidentiality agreement;
• We endeavour to transact only with reputable third party service providers;
• Our technology is protected by:
– Domain Authentication
– Data Leak Prevention
– Secure Communication and Email Routing
– Organisation-wide Segregation of Duties
– Email Security Policies and Data Encryption
– Network Security Monitoring 24/7
• The Companies Act stipulates that we must keep your documents on file for five years, after which it will be destroyed. During this period we endeavour to keep your information secure, however, if you wish us to destroy your information please advise us accordingly in writing.
By providing personal information to us (or allowing another person to do so on your behalf), you agree that this Policy will apply to how we handle your personal information and you consent to us collecting, using and disclosing your personal information as detailed in this Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you must not provide your personal information to us and this may affect the services we can provide to you.
In this Policy, where we say “disclose”, this includes to transfer, share, send, or otherwise make available or accessible your personal information to another person or entity.
What information do we collect?
Generally, the type of personal information we collect about you is the information that is needed to facilitate your travel arrangements and bookings and to arrange travel-related services and products on your behalf. This may include:
Your name, residential address, mailing address, telephone number, email address, credit/debit card details (including card type, card number, security number and expiry date), passport details, frequent flyer details, and information about your dietary requirements and other details relevant to your travel arrangements or required by the relevant travel service providers (e.g. airlines, accommodation or tour providers).
What do we do with this information?
When we book products and services for you, we usually do so as an agent for or on behalf of travel service providers. This means that we usually collect personal information about you both for our internal purposes (e.g. to process your booking), and on behalf of the parties for whom we act as agent, for their internal purposes (e.g. to provide the booked services). Accordingly, the consent you provide under this Policy to the collection and use of personal information by us, applies equally to the parties whose products and services we sell. For example, if you purchase a flight from us, then under this Policy you will have consented to your personal information being provided to the airline to enable your flight to be booked.
We act as agent for or on behalf of many thousands of travel service providers, so it is not possible for us to set out in this Policy all of the travel service providers for whom we act nor exactly how each of these travel service providers will use your personal information.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
From time to time it may be necessary for us to review and revise this policy. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time for any reason.
