Legal Bases

Where UK data protection law applies, we process personal information using one or more lawful bases depending on the purpose.

These may include:

Contract

Processing that is necessary to process an order, take payment, arrange delivery or provide customer service relating to a purchase.

Legal Obligation

Processing necessary to comply with accounting, tax, fraud-prevention or other legal obligations.

Legitimate Interests

Processing necessary for legitimate business interests, such as maintaining website security, preventing fraud, improving services and understanding business performance, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Consent

Where consent is legally required, including certain marketing activities and certain non-essential cookies or advertising technologies.

You may withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

Payment Information

Payments are processed through third-party payment providers.

Your complete card information is generally submitted directly to the payment provider rather than stored by us.

Payment providers process information according to their own privacy and security practices.

Sharing Personal Information

We may share information where necessary with service providers that help us operate our business, including:

  • e-commerce technology providers;
  • payment processors;
  • delivery and courier companies;
  • fraud-prevention providers;
  • website hosting providers;
  • customer-support services;
  • analytics providers;
  • advertising providers where permitted;
  • professional advisers; and
  • authorities where disclosure is legally required.

We only intend to disclose information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant service or legal purpose.

Google Services

Where enabled and subject to your cookie choices, our website may use services provided by Google, such as Google Analytics or Google Ads technologies, to understand website usage, measure advertising performance or deliver relevant advertising.

Non-essential Google advertising or analytics technologies will be handled in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

Marketing Communications

Where marketing communications are offered, we may send them where:

  • you have consented; or
  • another lawful basis permits us to do so.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe option included in the message or by contacting:

contact@thetravelstores.co.uk

Service communications relating to an existing order are not marketing communications.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet legal, accounting, fraud-prevention and dispute-resolution requirements.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.

Order and transaction information may need to be kept for longer periods where required for accounting or legal compliance.

International Data Transfers

Some technology or service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers as required by applicable data protection law.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights including the right to:

  • request access to personal information;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of information;
  • restrict certain processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • request portability of eligible information;
  • withdraw consent where processing relies on consent; and
  • complain to the relevant data protection authority.

These rights may be subject to legal limitations or exceptions.

To submit a privacy request, contact:

contact@thetravelstores.co.uk

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

Security

We use reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information.

However, no internet transmission or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children

Our store is intended for general consumers and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorisation where required.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
