Travelog Holidays Sdn Bhd registered company that wholly owns and operates the website www.travelog.com (“Travelog”). Travelog treats the handling of personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy details how Travelog will treat your personal data after it has been collected by Travelog, either through its website or otherwise, together with details on the type of information we may collect from you. Travelog will only use your data as detailed in this Privacy Policy or for its legitimate business reasons.
For access to our hand-picked hotels at members-only rates, all we require is your email address so that you can sign in to our website securely (using your own unique password) and receive our latest and greatest offers directly in your inbox.
By signing up to Travelog, we ensure that all members are able to create and manage their account and email preferences when they sign in to the website, so that they may receive as many, or as few, emails as they like. Our Anti-Spam Policy tolerates only permission-based email (we require your say so before sending you any marketing emails), and members may opt-out or change email preferences by following a link in the footer of all marketing emails, or by visiting their account settings on the website once they have created an account.
Members of Travelog who have an account reserve the right to manage their email preferences and may choose to opt-out of marketing communications, yet maintain full access to the website. You will need to adjust your account settings on the website to specify your preferences, or email us at support@travelog.com if you wish to opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us.
Some communications (for example, important account notifications and billing information) are considered transactional and are necessary for all of our customers. We will therefore continue to send these communications to you (where you have made a booking through us) even if you have unsubscribed from receiving marketing communications from us, unless you cancel your Travelog account to unsubscribe from these communications and ask for your account to be removed. To cancel your Travelog account, please email us at support@travelog.com. Please note that where you cancel your account with Travelog, we will still hold on to any transactional data for a reasonable period of time, in case there are any issues that may need to be resolved relating to your booking. Those details will be stored in our secure database.
When you make a booking through our website, you will be directed to the payment page where you can enter your payment details. We do not store financial details such as credit card numbers. Our payment platform provider will be passed the details of your booking that we have collected from you, so that they can process your payment to our account. Once we have received your payment into our account, we will then make the relevant payments to the provider of your holiday or travel arrangements.
Any personal information such as email address or postcode is held by us for the sole purpose of communicating with you as you have requested and for processing any bookings you make through us. That means that we will send you newsletters if you have subscribed with us or opened an account, at the frequency you request, or replying and corresponding with you if you give us feedback or apply for a job with us. This includes any information you provide to us on your return from holiday or any emails or records of telephone conversations we may with you.
We will not share this information with any other parties unless we need to do so in order to fulfil your arrangements booked with third party providers, or specifically stated in any special terms and conditions as is sometimes the case with competition entries, or we are required to do so by law.
Please note that in order to complete your booking, we will need your name, address and/or email address, together with other information relevant to your booking (for example, your passport number and those for people within your group). This is so that we can process your booking and pass this to the third parties providing your booked arrangements (eg, hotels, airlines, public authorities such as customs and immigration if required, etc), so that they have the relevant information to provide your booked arrangements. This applies to sensitive personal data that you may give to us, such as information relating to disabilities, dietary requirements and/or religious beliefs.
In addition to personal information that you choose to give us we may also collect information about your computer (usually to verify that the activity on our website is from genuine sources) and about your general usage of the website. This may include your IP address, operating system, web browser software, screen resolution and referring website.
