Other personal details are also required for processing your holiday booking. This information allows us to process your booking and to send you confirmation of your booking by e-mail.

Cookies can be deleted from your hard drive if you wish. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to prevent that. Even without a cookie you can use most of the features on the website, although you will not be able to use the online booking system.

Disclosure to Event Organisers
The only case where some of your personal information that we collect will be made available to anyone other than ourselves or your trip organiser is in the case of bookings for an event i.e BUSC, or the Brits.

We never disclose information about a customer to any other person or organisation apart from your trip organiser and/or event organiser without your consent unless there is an emergency situation that requires it or we are legally required to do so. Your trip organiser and/or event organiser is the only individual outside Student Travel Tours apart from yourself, who may have access to you personal information, this will be used purely by that individual for purposes directly connected to the trip that they are organising for you.
