Privacy Policy

 

      Airflights.co.uk is committed to protecting your privacy, and takes its responsibilities regarding the security of customer information very seriously. This policy explains how we use customer information and how we protect your privacy.
 
Use of customer information
 
      - Information required to process your booking
 
            We require certain information to allow us to process your flight booking. This includes your name, address, telephone number, and email address, as well as your credit or debit card number and expiry date. We also need to know all the names of the passengers travelling.

Airflights.co.uk passes personal data, which includes information regarding payment or passenger details, to the credit or debit card company that issued the card, or to the tour operator with which your booking is made.

This information allows us to process your flight booking and to send you confirmation of your booking by email or post. We ask for your telephone number so that we can contact you to confirm the details of your booking and/or if there is a problem with your reservation.

We may occasionally use the information we collect to notify you about new Airflights.co.uk services and special offers we think you may find valuable. If you would prefer not to receive this information through your door or by email, please call us on 0871 222 0877 (Calls cost 10 pence per minute from a BT Landline. Calls from other networks and mobiles may cost more).

      - Competitions/Campaigns
 
            When you enter an Airflights.co.uk competition or other promotional offer, we may ask for your name, address and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.

Occasionally we ask you to email us with your opinion on a particular subject, and may publish a selection of these comments on our web site. However, if you advise us that you do not wish to have your comment and name published, we will not do so.
 
Site Tracking
 
      We use tracking software to monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of the site to better meet the needs of visitors to Airflights.co.uk. This software does not enable us to capture any personally identifying information.
 
Security to protect your information
 
      Your payment details are protected by a 128bit data encryption in our software when you book with us.

Furthermore, as required by the UK Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998, we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we are able to disclose sensitive information to you.
