Depending on the User’s requests, the personal data collected will be processed in accordance with the following purposes:
To manage the bookings made, including payment management (where applicable) and the management of the user’s requests and preferences.

PROMOTIONAL OFFERS FROM US
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased services from us or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
DATA RETENTION
Data will be retained for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required
or permitted by law or if the User requests their withdrawal from us, opposes or revokes their consent.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the Services to you (for example, for as long as you have a booking that has not yet been fulfilled)
Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them)
LEGITIMATE INTEREST FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA
The data processing required in fulfilment of the aforementioned purposes that require the User’s consent cannot be undertaken without said consent.
Likewise, in the event that the User withdraws their consent to any of the processing, this will not affect the legality of the processing carried out previously.
To revoke such consent, the User may contact us through the appropriate channels.
By the same token, in those cases in which it is necessary to process the User’s data for the fulfilment of a legal obligation or for the execution of the existing contractual relationship between us and the User, the processing would be legitimized as it is necessary for compliance with said purposes.

If we do, we will treat the combined data as Personal Data as long as it is combined.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
