information is fed back to us allowing us to offer you a more personal browsing experience. By

Our comprehensive Cookie Policy is available here.

9. SECURITY
We (and any affiliate, subcontractor or other person processing your personal data on our
behalf) may transfer, store and otherwise process your personal data anywhere in the world.
Where we disclose your personal data to third parties, that disclosure may also involve a
transfer of your personal data anywhere in the world, and those third parties may themselves
transfer, store or otherwise process that information anywhere in the world. In each case, we
will comply with any legal requirements concerning the transfer of your personal data by us to
any third party outside the country where we are established, and where your personal data is
still controlled by us or is being stored or otherwise processed on our behalf, our security
measures will also apply.
We are committed to doing what we reasonably can to keep your personal data secure, and we
are obliged by law to put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures against
unauthorised or unlawful processing of your personal data and against accidental loss or
destruction of, or damage to, your personal data. We have accordingly implemented security
policies, rules and technical measures with a view to achieving this:
• We use Secured Socket Layer (“SSL”) software in order to encrypt the personal
information that you provide to us whilst it is in transit over the internet. This will work
if your browser is SSL enabled (which most are). You can verify that this is working by
looking for the symbol of a closed lock or solid key on the bottom bar of your browser
window, and checking that the prefix for the web address in the browser address bar
has changed from “http” to “https”.
• The personal information we collect from you online is stored by us and/or our service
providers on databases protected through a combination of physical and electronic
access controls, firewall technology and other reasonable security measures.
• For your own privacy protection, we encourage you to maintain anti-virus and other
malware protection software on your computers and other devices, and to maintain
your own measures to protect your personal data. Please do not include sensitive
personal data in any e-mails you may send to us, including payment card information.
We also encourage you to be careful about who you give personal data to. We never
contact you to ask you for sensitive personal data, such as payment card information,
or sensitive personal data such as passport numbers or log-in details, and we will only
ask you for such information in person or through our website, or by telephone in
connection with a booking you are making or have made. Please let us know if you
someone purports to contact you in our name.

10. USE OF SERVICES BY MINORS
Our website and all the services provided are not intended for individuals under the age of
eighteen (18) and we request that they not do not use our website and do not provide personal
information through our website. Our Privacy Statement prohibits us from accepting users who
are under the age of 18 and all persons under the age of 18 are directed not to use, post
information to or submit queries on this website. Should we inadvertently acquire personal
information or other data from users under the age of 18, we will not knowingly provide this
data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever, and any subsequent disclosure would be
due to the fact the user under age 18 used the website and submitted personal information
without solicitation by or permission from us.

We are not responsible for ensuring that any personal information submitted by you on or
through our website and our online services are accurate and up-to-date. Should you wish to

to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion. There
may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which
will not be removed. In addition, there may be certain information to which we are unable to
enable you to review, for legal, security, or other reasons.
