The scope of the data depends on the type of travel and the specific service you request.

ETF Travel endeavours to collect only data that are adequate, relevant, and necessary for the specific purpose of processing.

4. How Do We Collect Personal Data?
We most often obtain personal data directly from you, for example when you:
complete a contact form;
submit an inquiry for a personalised trip;
submit an inquiry for a charter flight;
contact us by e-mail or telephone;
request a quotation or the organisation of a trip;
provide data necessary for the provision of travel services.
In certain cases, we may also receive personal data from another person who organises or books a trip on behalf of multiple travellers. In such cases, we process the data to the extent necessary to provide the requested service and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

5. Purposes of Processing Personal Data
We process your personal data for the following purposes:
Processing and Responding to Inquiries
We use your data to respond to your inquiry, contact you, provide the requested information, and prepare an appropriate offer.

Organisation and Provision of Travel Services
The data may be used to organise travel, including airline tickets, accommodation, transfers, charter flights, personalised trips, and other services you request.

Communication with Users
We use your data for communication relating to your inquiry, offer, booking, or travel arrangements.

Performance of Contractual and Pre-Contractual Obligations
Data are processed where necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract you have entered into with ETF Travel.

Compliance with Legal Obligations
We process and retain certain data where necessary to comply with legal, accounting, tax, or other obligations applicable to ETF Travel.

Protection of Rights and Legitimate Interests
Where necessary and permitted, data may be processed to protect ETF Travel’s legitimate interests, for example to prevent misuse, resolve disputes, establish or defend legal claims, and protect the security of information systems.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on the specific purpose, ETF Travel processes personal data on the basis of one or more of the following legal bases:
taking steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
performance of a contract;
compliance with a legal obligation;
ETF Travel’s legitimate interests, where such processing is permitted and those interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the data subject;
consent, where consent is required for the specific processing activity.
For example, when you request a travel quotation via a contact form, the processing of data necessary to respond to your inquiry and prepare the quotation is based on the need to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
Where a particular processing activity is based on consent, consent is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
This Privacy Policy does not in itself constitute consent to the processing of personal data. Where consent is required for a particular processing activity, consent will be obtained in an appropriate manner and separately.

7. Is Providing Personal Data Mandatory?

Providing data through contact forms is generally necessary for us to respond to your inquiry and provide the requested service. The mandatory fields in each form are determined based on the data required to process the specific request.
If you do not provide the data necessary to process your inquiry or provide the requested service, ETF Travel may not be able to respond to your request, prepare a quotation, or arrange the requested service.

8. To Whom May We Disclose Personal Data?

ETF Travel may, where necessary for achieving a specific purpose and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, disclose personal data to relevant service providers and partners.
Depending on the type of travel and service, recipients may include:
airlines;
hotels and other accommodation providers;
providers of transfers and other forms of transportation;
other providers of travel and tourism services;
business partners involved in the provision of a specific trip;
providers of IT, hosting, security, and other technical services who process data on behalf of ETF Travel, where applicable;
accounting, legal, and other professional advisers, where necessary;
competent state authorities and other public bodies where ETF Travel is legally required to disclose such data.
Data are disclosed only to the extent necessary for the specific purpose.
Where a third party processes personal data on behalf of ETF Travel, ETF Travel regulates its relationship with such processor in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.

9. Transfer of Personal Data Outside the EU

ETF Travel does not intend to routinely transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
However, given the international nature of the travel and services organised by ETF Travel, in certain cases it may be necessary to provide certain personal data to a service provider located outside the European Economic Area, for example for the provision of travel, accommodation, or another service requested by the user.
In such cases, ETF Travel takes appropriate measures to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with the GDPR, including the use of appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data where required.
Information about a specific transfer and the safeguards applied may be provided to the user upon request, where applicable.

10. How Long Do We Retain Personal Data?

ETF Travel retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were collected, or for the period required to comply with legal obligations, protect legitimate interests, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
The retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose for which they are processed.
Data from Contact Inquiries
Data submitted through contact forms are retained for the period necessary to process the inquiry and for any subsequent communication related to that inquiry. If an inquiry does not result in a further business relationship, the data will be deleted after the expiry of a reasonable period necessary for processing and any subsequent action, unless there is another legal basis for their continued retention.
Data Related to the Organisation and Provision of Travel Services
Data relating to quotations, bookings, contracts, invoices, and other business documents are retained for the period necessary to fulfil contractual obligations and for the retention periods prescribed by applicable laws.
Data Necessary for Establishing or Defending Legal Claims
Where necessary for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims, certain data may be retained until the expiry of the applicable limitation periods or until the relevant proceedings have been finally concluded. ETF Travel regularly reviews the need for continued retention of data and, upon expiry of the applicable retention period, deletes, destroys, or anonymises the data, unless there is another legal basis for retaining them.

13. Security of Personal Data
ETF Travel implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or unauthorised access.
