2. How will we collect this information?

During your contact with us, we may gather personal information about you in various ways, such as when you buy or inquire about travel arrangements, sign up to receive marketing materials, contact our customer service department, participate in competitions or register for promotions. We may gather this information through various means, including phone, email, and our website.

In rare circumstances, we may also obtain personal data about you from third parties, such as when someone books a reservation for you. We might use this data to send you specific marketing messages via emails, text messages, or data messages, such as promotions, new items, or competitions.

If you do not wish to receive such information, you can opt-out in writing. Additionally, we may collect and process your data with explicit consent in certain situations, such as when you tick a box to receive email newsletters.

3. What do we use your personal data for, and what is the lawful basis for doing so?

We use your personal information to fulfil our travel agency obligations. This includes using your name, address, and phone number to finalize trip bookings, payment information to complete transactions, passport number, birthday, frequent flyer number, and dietary restrictions to finalize travel plans and arrangements.

Contractual justification serves as the legal foundation for utilizing this data because failure to provide it would prevent us from completing your booking.

To provide you with relevant products and services, we may also use your information for direct marketing communications and related profiling. This is motivated by our sincere desire to give you the greatest travel experience possible.

Your information may also be used to manage your booking, contact you for customer support, provide travel confirmation and updates on your itinerary, and other purposes.

When we transmit your personal data worldwide, we ensure that the transfer is either required by your local data protection legislation or is subject to adequate or suitable safeguards for fulfilling a contract between you and the overseas receiver.

4. With whom do we share your personal data?

To fulfil your travel reservation and give you the best service possible, Ziyaratislam may share your personal information with various organizations.

  • Airlines, hotels, tour operators, transport companies, cruise lines, car rental agencies, and activity providers are the main vendors who will fulfil your vacation reservation.
  • A person booking a third-party reservation on your behalf.
  • Unbiased third parties that do our tasks on our behalf, like processing payment cards, conducting business analytics, and preventing fraud.
  • By what the law entails or permits and to uphold our commitments to the law.

Please be aware that Ziyaratislam operates on a global scale, which means that we may need to share your personal information with one of our affiliated companies abroad to finalize your travel arrangements and/or to enable the provision of administrative, advisory, and technical services, including the storage and processing of such information.

Additionally, we might get travel reservations made on other people's behalf (e.g. a family or group booking or a travel booking made for you by your employer). In these situations, we shall depend on the power of the person making the travel arrangements to make decisions on behalf of any other travellers on the reservation.

5. For how long do we keep your personal data on file?

Personal information is retained for the duration required to fulfil the purpose for which it was initially collected. To safeguard against potential legal disputes, this data is typically retained for 6 years. Retention of records is done in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
