If you do not wish your personal information to be handled in accordance with this Policy, we recommend that you do not provide your personal information to us. If you do not provide us with all the personal information we request, or if you do not provide any consent we require to be authorised to collect and handle certain personal information, this may affect our ability to provide services to you or respond to your inquiry, request or complaint. - WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND HOW?
The personal information we may collect about you includes your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, credit and debit card details, details of your passport, flights, hotel and car bookings, other travel details and any special needs you may need or request.

An IP address is a series of numbers which identify your computer and which are generally assigned when you access the internet. Alone, IP addresses are not personal information, but we may link IP addresses to other personal information we hold about you and use it for the purpose of fraud prevention and protection.
