How do we collect and process your data?
If you travel with Richmond Holidays, we will ask you to provide (for you and all passengers) details such as names, postal addresses, contact numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and any special requirements such as dietary requirements, medical needs or measurements in order to supply correctly sized ski hire. You may also choose to disclose information to us such as religious beliefs; we do not request that you share this information with us, but if you would like us to inform our staff team of any personal information such as this, then this will be noted on your booking to be communicated with our team abroad.
We will need to pass on some of your details to our suppliers and Richmond staff members in order to deliver your holiday, some of which may be based outside the UK (such as names to the airlines, hotels, mailing houses, print companies, accountants or payment providers that we work with). We will not pass on your information to any third parties outside of our trusted suppliers. Information that you give will be retained by Richmond for the duration of our data retention period: personal details such as your name, email address, phone number and postal address will be used for Richmond marketing reasons such as posting brochures to you; other details such as your dietary requirements will be kept by Richmond but not used for marketing purposes. We do not store any financial information. If you wish us to remove any of your details from our database after your holiday, please email us as soon as possible (so that your request is in writing). When our data retention period is coming up, we will contact you to ask whether you would like us to keep in touch. Opting-in to this will result in us continuing to store and process your data as above, until 5 years has passed again, or you request us to remove your information from our database.
You are entitled to ask for a copy of your information held by us; please email us if this is something that you would like.
Our Lawful Bases for Processing your Data
- If you have a current holiday booking with us, our lawful basis for processing your data is contractual. That is, we process your data in order to supply the holiday you have with us.
- If you have made a holiday booking, received a quote, requested a brochure from us, requested to go on a waiting list, had any email activity including clicks, changed your contact details (name, address, email address or phone number) with us or “opted-in” in the last 5 years, then we have a legitimate interest in marketing our holidays to you to increase sales. This can be done by post, email or phone.
- If you have not made a holiday booking, received a quote, requested a brochure from us, requested to go on a waiting list, had any email activity or changed your address with us, our lawful basis is consent. This means that you have provided freely-given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent to the processing of your data through positively opting-in to our processing of your data. If consent is not provided or is withdrawn at any point, then we will remove your data and not process it.
Our Data Retention Periods
As a Richmond Customer, we will retain your data for 5 years following your most recent holiday booking, quote, brochure request, email activity, waiting list requests, address update or opt-in notice. You have the right to opt-out at any point and we will delete your data with immediate effect.
