We occasionally run competitions on our site. We may ask for personal information to contact you if necessary (with a winner's notification, for example). You will also have the choice to be added to our mailing list for future promotions and travel offers. You may opt-out at any time of receiving future mailings, see the Opt Out section below. Abbreviated customer names may be used on our competition winners page as well.

There is a section of the website where you can apply for a job at jobs@crystaltravel.co.uk . We collect personal information such as name and address to contact applicants in relation to their job application. We also ask for optional demographic information, which we use for recruitment purposes only. We do not share any of the above mentioned information with anyone else.

You can un-subscribe from travel offers by email at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of the newsletter, or by sending a blank e-mail to optout@crystaltravel.co.uk

The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not sell customer names or other private profile information to third parties and have no intention of doing so in the future. Occasionally, crystaltravel.co.uk will hire a third party to act on our behalf for projects such as market research surveys and contest entry processing and will provide information to these third parties specifically for use in connection with these projects. The information we provide to such third parties is protected by a confidentiality agreement and is to be used solely for completing the specific project.
