For information on the Privacy Statements of our suppliers and agents (e.g. Sabre) please see the statements provided on their individual web sites.

From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name, email address and travel information) in order to receive or use services on our website. Such services include submitting travel requests, updating traveller data and emailing Qudos Travel Company.

By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable Qudos Travel Company and its service providers to provide you with the services you select. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. When using your personal information the Qudos Travel Company will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.

Use of your information

When you supply any personal information to qudostravel.co.uk or qudostravel.com we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use this data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular webpages that let you know why we are requesting the information) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.

In general, any information you provide to the Qudos Travel Company will only be used within the Qudos Travel Company and by its agents and service providers. Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to qudostravel.co.uk or qudostravel.com or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on qudostravel.co.uk or qudostravel.com, the Qudos Travel Company can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of qudostravel.co.uk or qudostravel.com membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as a qudostravel.co.uk or qudostravel.com member or customer.

We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

If you are notified on a qudostravel.co.uk or qudostravel.com site that your information may be used to allow the Qudos Travel Company to contact you for "service administration purposes", this means that the Qudos Travel Company may contact you for a number of purposes related to the service you have signed up for. For example, we may wish to provide you with password reminders or notify you that the particular service has been suspended for maintenance. We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the service or new services on qudostravel.co.uk or qudostravel.com unless you specifically agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically to receive such promotional information.
