However, before you do so, we would hope that you will contact us first to discuss any complaint or concerns you have.

10. HOW THIRD PARTIES WILL HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Where we provide your personal information to a third party one of the following two circumstances will apply:

10.1 PROCESSING ON OUR BEHALF
In some cases, your personal information may be held and otherwise collected and used by them on our behalf, in which case we will remain responsible for what they do with your personal information, and your personal information will only be held and collected and used by them in accordance with our instructions and this Privacy Policy.

10.2 PROCESSING ON THEIR OWN ACCOUNT
In other cases, your personal information may need to be provided to them to be held and processed by them in their own right and on their own account.

12.1.2 TRANSMISSIONS BETWEEN YOUR WEB BROWSER AND OUR SERVERS
We use Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") software in order to encrypt the personal information that you provide to us while it is in transit over the internet. This will work if your browser is SSL enabled (which most are).

12.1.3 STORAGE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The personal information we collect from you online is stored by us and/or our service providers on databases protected through a combination of physical and electronic access controls, firewall technology, and other reasonable security measures.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in any emails you may send to us, including payment card information.

We also encourage you to be careful about who you give personal information to. We never contact you to ask you for sensitive personal information, such as payment card information, or sensitive personal information such as passport numbers or log-in details, and we will only ask you for such information in person or through our website, or by telephone in connection with a booking you are making or have made. Please let us know if you someone purports to contact you in our name.

13. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
