Click Travel Privacy Policy
(Last update: 1st March 2022)
Protecting and using your personal data responsibly is very important to us. This Privacy Policy lets you know what happens to any personal data that you provide to us, or any that we may collect about you.
This policy applies only to personal information processed by or on behalf of Click Travel.
We may collect information from you when you visit our website, make a booking, have a booking made on your behalf, contact us by telephone or email or receive a communication from us relating to your service.
If you are making a booking on behalf of another traveller, you should draw their attention to this policy which sets out how we will use their information.

About us and how to contact us
We are Click Travel Limited. You can contact us at privacy@clicktravel.com. Our address is: Click Travel Ltd, Alpha Tower, Suffolk Street Queensway, Birmingham, B1 1TT.
What personal information do we collect, and why?
We use the data we collect about you for various purposes. European data protection legislation sets out specific “lawful bases” for processing personal data. The table below sets out under which basis we process different information about you, and explains the purpose of that processing. It also sets out the specific rights you have in respect of that processing, which may depend on the basis we process it for.
We may use any of your personal data in connection with any complaint made relating to our service to you, or in respect of reviewing any legal rights or obligations, either on the basis of performing our contract with you or in our legitimate interests to resolve any dispute. We may share any of your personal data with a prospective purchaser or purchaser of any part of our business, on the basis of our legitimate interests and the interests of our purchaser, so that they can appropriately value the business and assess any risks and continue doing business with you after the acquisition.
The provision of APIS information is a requirement when booking certain travel including flights, and failure to do so will mean that you are unable to travel. Otherwise, providing your personal information is not a legal requirement, however, the information requested on our website or notified to you as being required when you speak to a customer services representative is required in order for us to provide the travel services, as we are unable to make bookings and appropriately manage the service without this information.
Details relating to any transactions will be encrypted to ensure their safety. Transmission of information online is not 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us in this way. Transmission of data over the internet is at your own risk. You are responsible for keeping your password to access theClick Travelservice safe.
Who we share personal information with and international transfers
Travel providers: When you book travel through our services, we provide your information to the suppliers of those travel services, which may be a third party intermediary such as Booking.com, or an airline, hotel or car hire company directly. You will know when you are making the booking who the booking will be with.
They will use this information as a “data controller” – this means that how they process your travel information should be set out in their own privacy policies, and they have their own responsibilities to comply with data protection laws.
Your employer: If you are usingClick Travelto book employment related travel which is paid for by your employer, we may share information about the travel booked with your employer. They will use also this information as a “data controller” – this means that how they process your travel information should be set out in their own privacy policies, and they have their own responsibilities to comply with data protection laws.
Your team administrator/booker: If you have travel booked on your behalf by someone else (either an administrator appointed by your employer, or a team administrator who has booked personal travel for you), they will have access to the information that you have given them to input onto theClick Travelsystem.
Service providers: We use third party service providers to support our provision of the service. These include travel intermediaries, and other, less direct, business functions, including IT support or hosting our data on cloud platforms. Our complete list of sub-processors is available here.
We will have in place an agreement with our service providers which will restrict how they are able to process your personal information.
If any service provider is based outside of the European Economic Area, we will ensure that standard contractual clauses are in place or we have an appropriate contract for the international transfer of personal information with them. If you would like to see a copy of any relevant provisions, please contact privacy@clicktravel.com.
If you request a booking which is made with a travel services provider outside the European Economic Area (for example a hotel in New York), we may transfer your personal data to that travel service provider in order to perform our contract with you and make your booking with them.
How long do we keep your information for?
If you are a customer, we will retain your personal information on theClick Travelsystem whilst you are an active customer of us and for up to seven years after you have left the service. Information held onClick Travelmay be deleted one year after you have stopped being an active customer.
If you provide us with personal data viaClick Travelbut are not a customer and do not contact us or place any bookings with us, we will retain your personal information for up to one year after you provide it to us.
In certain circumstances, we may be required to retain your personal information for longer, where such retention is required by law or record keeping requirements, including managing our relationship with you, defending any claims, or for tax purposes.
