Privacy Policy

Overview

This document serves as the Privacy Policy for the Entravel website and its subdomains.

We recognize the importance of your trust when you engage in online bookings. We highly value this trust and are dedicated to the secure and confidential handling of your personal data. Please take a moment to read through this policy to understand how we manage your privacy.

General Data Handling

Any information that you submit on our website or through other means (such as connecting your social media profiles to your Entravel account) is collected and stored by us. This encompasses data that can personally identify you ("personal information and interests") as well as your billing details (including credit card numbers, the names on the cards, and their expiration dates).

Additionally, we might ask for details about your vacation preferences and hotel room requirements. While you have the option to withhold this information, providing it is generally necessary for several purposes. These include registering as a member, booking travel, creating a traveller profile, participating in surveys, contests, or sweepstakes, posing questions, or conducting other  ransactions on our website.

Travel Companion Data Management

When booking for another person via our website, we'll request their personal information and travel preferences. It's crucial that you secure the consent of these individuals before sharing their data with us, as the ability to view or modify their details will be accessible solely through your account.

Data Acquisition from Additional Sources

We may occasionally receive both personal and non-personal information about you from associated organizations, business partners, and independent external sources. This information is then integrated into our account records. Such data may include updated delivery and address details, purchase history, and demographic information.

Automatic Data Collection

Our system automatically gathers certain data when you visit our website. This includes your IP address, the type of web browser you use (like Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer), and the website that referred you to us. Additionally, we track your online activities on our site, such as the trips you view and your bookings.
The primary objectives of this automatic data collection are to enhance your user experience on our website and to help prevent fraudulent activities. For more detailed information, please refer to our section on Cookies and other technologies.

Usage of Your Personal Data by Entravel

We utilize sensitive billing data, including your credit card number, cardholder name, and expiration date, primarily to process and finalize the travel bookings you make on our site.

With your consent, we also use other information about you for a variety of purposes:

  • Matching and Personalization: To align you with hotels that fit your profile and travel plans.
  • Service Provision: To deliver the products and services you request, and to manage your account, which encompasses billing processing and sending travel notifications.
  • Communication and Support: To provide travel confirmations and updates, respond to your inquiries, and communicate with you about general matters.
  • A statement expressing your belief in good faith that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • Website and Service Improvement: To gauge and heighten interest in our products, services, and website; this includes customizing your experience and soliciting feedback through surveys.
  • Marketing and Offers: To inform you about special offers, new products, or services that might interest you.
  • Problem-Solving and Dispute Resolution: For resolving disputes, fee collection, and troubleshooting issues.
  • Prevention of Illegal Activities: To deter prohibited or illegal actions and enforce our Terms of Use.

Additionally, we sometimes receive testimonials and comments from customers regarding their positive experiences. With the customer's consent, we may publish this content, attributing it only with the first name and last initial.

Email Communications

Our goal is to facilitate your access to travel opportunities on our site. This includes sending you email messages about travel-related interests, provided you've consented to receive such marketing communications.

We comply with legal requirements and publicly available opt-out lists in our marketing communications. For instance, if you show interest in a hotel room in Dubai but haven't booked it, we might send a reminder. Furthermore, if you engage with content about Dubai hotels in our emails, we may send you more information on that topic. These emails are intended to provide useful information about travel-related special offers from our site. Please note, you have the option to opt-out of receiving these emails in any communication we send.

Information Sharing Practices at Entravel

With your consent, Entravel may share your information with several entities, as detailed below:

  • Suppliers: This includes hotels that fulfill your travel reservations. As these are third-party suppliers, we advise reviewing their privacy policies, as they may contact you for additional information, reservation facilitation, or feedback on your experience.
  • Third-Party Vendors: These entities provide services on our behalf, such as credit card processing, business analytics, customer service, marketing, survey or sweepstakes distribution, and fraud prevention. They may collect information as needed to perform their functions but are not allowed to use it for other purposes. They follow the same data security standards we do. Note that these vendors may be located in regions with different personal information protection standards, but we strive to uphold strict data protection standards universally.
  • Business Partners: We may collaborate with other companies to offer joint products or services, or their offerings might be available on our site. If you engage with these services, we may share your personal information with these partners. We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party business partners.
  • Referring Websites: If you were directed to Entravel via another website, we might share some information about you with that referring site. It's advisable to review the privacy policies of any such referring websites.
  • Companies within Our Corporate Family: We may share your personal information with our parent company and international affiliates, facilitating the provision of information about various products and services that might interest you. These entities will adhere to privacy practices as protective as those described in this policy and comply with laws related to promotional communications.

Additionally, we may share your information:

  • In legal contexts like responding to subpoenas or court orders, establishing or exercising our legal rights, defending against legal claims, or as required by law or government authorities.
  • When necessary to investigate, prevent, or act upon illegal or suspected illegal activities, to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company, website, customers, or others, and in connection with our Terms of Service and other agreements.
  • During corporate transactions like divestitures, mergers, consolidations, asset sales, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

Except for the cases listed above, you will be notified if your personal information is to be shared with third parties and will have the opportunity to opt out of such sharing.

We may also share aggregated or anonymous data with third parties, including advertisers and investors. This data, devoid of personal information, is used to develop content and services we believe will interest you.
