Data Storage and Transfers
Your personal data may be stored on secure servers located in the United States or other jurisdictions where HolidayGlobes or its service providers operate.
HolidayGlobes relies on lawful data transfer mechanisms, including:
- The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF),
- The UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and
- The Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF).
If any of these frameworks are invalidated, HolidayGlobes will use the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards to protect your personal data.
Transfers to non-EEA/UK travel suppliers (e.g., airlines, hotels, or car rental providers) for booking and service fulfillment may be based on GDPR Article 49(1)(b) or 49(1)(c)—as necessary for the performance of your contract or at your request.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Retention depends on factors such as:
- Transaction and booking activity,
- Loyalty program participation and account status,
- Fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and security needs,
- Legal obligations and regulatory requirements,
- Historical and analytical business needs.
Information Security
HolidayGlobes implements strong technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data, including SSL encryption, PCI-DSS compliance, and adherence to ISO 27001 standards.
We log information such as IP addresses, browser type, timestamps, and referrer URLs to help detect security threats and maintain system integrity.
Government Access Requests
We may disclose your personal data to law enforcement, regulatory, or public authorities when required by law, including for national security or legal compliance purposes.
Corporate Restructuring
If HolidayGlobes undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, provided that the data remains subject to equivalent privacy protections.
Your GDPR Rights
As an individual located in the EEA or UK, you have the right to:
- Access, rectify, or delete your personal data;
- Restrict or object to processing;
- Request data portability;
- Withdraw consent at any time (if processing is based on consent).
To exercise these rights, contact us at support@holidayglobes.com with the subject line “GDPR Notice.”
Objection to Legitimate Interest and Direct Marketing
You may object to processing based on legitimate interest or direct marketing at any time. Upon such objection, we will cease processing unless there are overriding legitimate grounds.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails via the “unsubscribe” link or by contacting support@holidayglobes.com.
Note: Administrative communications (e.g., booking confirmations, service updates) are not subject to opt-out.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to file a complaint with your local data protection authority in the EEA or the UK. A list of EU supervisory authorities is available at:
https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm
Minors
Our Services are not directed toward individuals under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
Updates to This Notice
We may update this Notice periodically to reflect legal, technical, or business developments. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the “Effective Date” will indicate when changes take effect.
Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Compliance
HolidayGlobes complies with the EU-U.S. DPF, UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. DPF, as established by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
In the event of a conflict, the DPF Principles shall take precedence.

Onward Transfers to Third Parties
We may share personal data with third-party service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, or marketing). All such transfers are governed by data processing agreements requiring equivalent privacy safeguards.
You may opt out of data sharing with third parties not acting as agents by contacting support@holidayglobes.com. We will not share sensitive personal data without your explicit opt-in consent.
Data Retention Under DPF
We retain DPF-covered data only as long as necessary for business or legal purposes, after which it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
