• When you submit an inquiry or fill out the form on the website
• When you subscribe to our newsletter
• When you speak to any of our team

What will we do with it?

• We will use your name, address and other contact information as well as credit card details to complete your booking with us.
• We will also use your details to manage your arrangements, send you notifications and communicate with you generally as well as deliver you information about services you might be interested in.
• For the purpose of completing your booking, we may have to disclose some of your information to the providers of the services making up your arrangements (who could be located outside Croatia and the European Economic Area). We may also have to disclose some information to third parties in relation to customer services, credit card processing or other services.
• Credit/debit card payments are processed via our merchant provider on their secure platform and include the card type, date and time, amount, card expiry date, billing postcode, your address and other related information. This information is required and necessary for the performance of our contract with you. We do not have sight of the complete card number or CVV code at any time, but this will be held securely by our merchant provider who are audited and certified as a PCI Service Provider Level 1. All transactions which include your bank details are only relayed to a service we use to process transactions and your personal information regarding your banking information is used only in that regard.
• We may need to disclose your information where required by law, where such a request is made by a legal authority.
• We may also disclose information to organizations that act as “data processors” on our behalf, or to other organizations that perform business functions on our behalf, some of whom are outside the EU. These functions include administration, providing services (and contacting you where necessary), customer care, business management and operation, re-organization/structuring/sale of our business (or our group companies), risk assessment, security and crime prevention/detection, research and analysis, marketing, monitoring, measuring and assessing customer purchasing preferences and trends, dispute resolution, credit checking and debt collection.
• We may from time to time contact you with information about special offers, brochures, new products, forthcoming events or competitions. If you do not wish to receive such information, you may ask us in writing not to receive it.
• We will keep your data for 5 years, with the possibility of extending that period.

We would also like to store and use your personal details for future marketing purposes (for example, emailing you our newsletter). All details you give us in connection with your booking will be kept but we will use only names and contact details for marketing purposes unless you have indicated that you do not wish us to do so.

We have taken all reasonable steps to have appropriate security measures in place to protect your information. Outside the European Economic Area, controls on data protection may not be as wide as the legal requirements in this country. The transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure. We exclude our liability for personal data lost in transmission to the website.

How do we protect personal data?

Your data is being safeguarded behind a network of security measures and are only available to a limited number of people who have special privileges, given by our team, and are obligated to keep all information a secret.

All transactions which include your bank details are only relayed to a service we use to process transactions and your perosonal information regarding your banking information is used only in that regard.
