We are extremely concerned to protect your privacy and confidentiality. We appreciate and respect the importance of your privacy. When you browse Explore UK Travel we will not collect personal information about you. Personal information will only be collected about you when we specifically ask for it and you provide it to us. We may ask you for personal information in a variety of circumstances, including when you make a reservation or purchase from our website or sales team, by e-mail letter or telephone; when you register with us, subscribe to our newsletter, enter competitions or register for promotions and when you provide us with feedback.
We understand that all users of our site are quite rightly concerned to know that their data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them, and will not fall into the hands of a third party. We ensure that your data is not used for any purpose other than what is listed in this Privacy Policy. Our policy is both specific and strict. If you think our policy falls short of your expectations or that we are failing to abide by our policy, do please tell us.
We need to pass on your personal information to the companies and organisations who need to know them so your holiday can be provided (for example airline, hotel or other supplier). We also like to store and use your personal information for future marketing purposes, unless you have asked us not to.
Occasionally we hire other companies to provide services on our behalf. We will only provide these companies with the personal details of our customers when it is necessary for them to deliver the service. They are prohibited from using the information for any other purpose. We will ensure that if your details are provided to another company they agree to treat it with the same level of protection which we are obliged to provide.
We may need to disclose our customer information to a third party, who acquires all or substantially all of the assets in our company or website service by merger or acquisition.
In order to help us maintain and improve our service to you we may also use cookies to collect information about your use of our website. We may use cookies to keep track of any transactions from one page to the next. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to temporarily store information within your browser and allows us to recognise the computer used to access our site. Most browsers automatically accept cookies but you can delete any existing cookies from your browser and edit your browser options to choose not to receive cookies in the future.
We may use third-party application service providers to perform some tracking functions. These companies may also use cookie-based information about your visits to this and other sites in order to measure advertising effectiveness. This information will not include your name, email address or telephone number. Information collected about your visit to our website will be based on your browsing activities and may include the pages you browse or products and services viewed. This helps us to develop our offers and provide you with better products and services tailored to your individual interests and needs. We may also use this information to measure the entry and exit points of visitors to our website, the numbers of visitors to various pages and sections of the site and details of the searches performed.
Information may be unlawfully available to hackers and snoopers. We take no responsibility for this. The risk is no different from a similar risk in a bricks and mortar establishment. Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any personally identifiable information collected at this site. If this policy should change in the future (most unlikely), then we shall provide notification in advance, and the opportunity for all users to indicate whether or not they would prefer that we do not provide the information to third parties as proposed.
This privacy policy is in addition to and not in derogation of the terms and conditions for the use of our website. Here is a list of the information we collect, and why it is necessary to collect it::

authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
