Privacy Policy

As a customer of Holiday Ideas, you are entitled to savings and benefits on airfares, hotel reservations, car rentals, and other travel services. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the personal information of visitors to the Holiday Ideas website. Personal information refers to details that can identify an individual, such as name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card number. We encourage you to review this policy regularly; while we may update it periodically, we honor the practices in effect at the time you shared your information with us.

This privacy policy explains the following:

What personal information we collect from you and how we use it.
With whom (if anyone) your personal information is shared.
What safeguards we have in place to protect your personal information.
What other information you should know about your privacy.
How we handle Google Sync data retention and deletion.

What personal information we collect from you and how we use it

When browsing our site, you may be required to log in with credentials provided by your administration staff or by Holiday Ideas.

Customer Profile

Administration staff can create or update traveler profiles by sharing travel preferences, frequent-traveler numbers, credit card billing information, and other personal details. This information helps you complete reservations quickly without re-entering the same data. To purchase travel or related services through our site, users must provide personal information such as name, payment method (credit, advance float, or credit card details), billing address, date of birth for children, telephone number, email address, and traveler names. We may also request frequent traveler numbers or similar identifiers. This data is shared with service providers like airlines and hotels to process, fulfill, and confirm reservations and to keep you informed of each transaction. If you are booking for other travelers, you must confirm they have agreed to share their personal information with us.

Automatic Logging of Session Data

We automatically log generic information about your computer's connection to the internet, which we call session data. This anonymous data includes IP address, operating system, browser type, and on-site activities. It helps us analyze browsing patterns, popular content, visit frequency, and duration, and assists with diagnosing server issues and administering our systems. While session data does not identify visitors personally, an IP address can reveal the internet service provider and approximate geographic location of the connection.

With whom (if anyone) your personal information is shared

When you reserve or purchase travel services through Holiday Ideas, we share the necessary personal information with airlines, hotels, car-rental agencies, or other involved third parties to fulfill your travel arrangements. We do not sell or trade individual customer names or personal information to third parties without user consent. Holiday Ideas uses non-personally identifiable information in aggregate to improve our services through statistical analysis of customer characteristics and interests. Payment details such as credit card and net banking information are typically collected directly by payment gateways and banks. If retained by us, they are shared only with government, statutory, or security agencies to prevent fraud, or with third parties solely for purposes such as cashback, discounts, or chargebacks, where applicable.

What safeguards we have in place to protect your personal information

All payments on the Holiday Ideas site are protected by VeriSign SSL security. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption ensures that personal information you provide is scrambled before transmission, and the same applies when you make travel purchases on our site.

What other information should I know about my privacy

The Holiday Ideas site may contain links to external websites. When you follow these links, you enter sites for which Holiday Ideas is not responsible. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of those sites, as their policies may differ significantly from ours. You are solely responsible for keeping your passwords and Holiday Ideas membership account information secure. Be cautious whenever you are online. Linked sites are not under the control of Holiday Ideas, and we are not responsible for their content, updates, or transmissions. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement by Holiday Ideas or association with the linked site's operators. We do not endorse any advertisers on linked sites, and you should verify the accuracy of information independently before relying on it.

Holiday Ideas may disclose member information if required by law, court order, government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights or property of Holiday Ideas, its affiliates, employees, directors, or officers. Disclosure may also be made to identify, contact, or take legal action against individuals interfering with our rights or causing harm. If Holiday Ideas or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information may be transferred as part of that transaction. This policy is effective as of 1 October 2025. Any material changes in how Holiday Ideas uses personal information will be described in future updates to this privacy statement.

Google Sync Data Retention and Deletion

Our application uses Google Sync to provide seamless access to contact information from Google accounts, supporting efficient travel booking management. Google user data is stored securely, accessible only to authorized personnel, and retained for as long as necessary to provide and improve our services or as required by law.

Users may request deletion of their Google data at any time by contacting our support team. Upon request, we remove all Google data associated with the user within 30 days, and we periodically purge data from inactive accounts automatically.
