How do we use your personal information

We use your personal information to process your enquiry and booking. Your personal information could be used in the following ways:

Processing your booking: We will use the names and details of those in your holiday group to pass on to the providers of the services that make up your travel arrangements, which may include flights, transfers, hotel, ski school, ski hire suppliers and any other relevant ancillary products provided to you. Put simply, we need certain information about you and your party to enable us to fulfill the contractual obligations when you make a booking.

To communicate with you about your booking: We’ll need to contact you using the information you provide to give you information relevant to your arrangements. For example, we will use your postal and email address to send you confirmations, reminders and itinerary documentation as appropriate.

To comply with our legal obligations: In certain circumstance we will use your personal information to comply with our legal obligations. For example we might need to use your information in relation to any legal disputes, regulatory, compliance or criminal investigations or if necessary to enforce our rights. For example, where determined by government authorities it may be necessary to disclose your personal data for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism purposes, or any other purposes which they determine to be appropriate.

Consent: You may be asked to consent to us sending you marketing and promotional material. When you consent to it, we will use your personal information to personalise marketing information, run promotions and/or showcase products and services which we think may be of interest to you. These will be sent to you via email. You can always withdraw your consent at any time by simply unsubscribing – just follow the unsubscribe link in the promotional email and its done.

Disclosing your information

In certain circumstances we may share the information you provide with organisations outside of Snow Unlimited. The third parties who we might share your information with include:

  • Service Providers: Where you make a booking we will have to share your information with our suppliers to ensure that they have everything they need to fulfill your holiday requirements. Due to the nature of our business it may be necessary for your data to be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and therefore it may not be subject to the same level of controls as required by GDPR compliance. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is handled appropriately by our suppliers.
  • Third party support services: Where we provide information to certain third party technology providers for the purposes of monitoring web-site performance, live chat, email marketing and payment processors they will only have access to relevant information as required to perform their agreed functions and are not permitted to share or use information for any other purpose.
  • Law enforcement:  We will disclose personal information as it is required by law or where we believe it is necessary for the prevention, detection or prosecution of potentially criminal acts
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge any or all parts of our business and/or our assets. If a change happens to our business then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as intended in this privacy notice.

Data Security, Storage and Retention

We have put in place appropriate procedures and security features to minimise the risk of your personal data being accidently lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

Whilst we have taken reasonable steps to protect your information, no information transmitted over the internet or stored electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure and you provide your information to us at your own risk.

We will never sell or share your personal information to a third party for their own marketing purposes.

We do not hold your credit card details and these are only held by the payment provider/merchant service that we use.

We will retain your personal data for only as long as it is necessary for the uses set out in this Privacy notice and /or to meet our legal and regulatory requirements. As such, Snow Unlimited will hold your personal data for up to seven (7) years from our point of last contact. After this period we will securely erase all personal data. If data is needed for business analysis purposes after this period (eg analytical and/or historical data for legitimate business purposes) we will take appropriate action to anonymise the information used.
