This Policy sets out how STCT uses and protects any personal data that you provide to STCT (including personal data provided through any booking process and/or through STCT’s website (“Website”)). We are committed to protecting your personal data and this Policy and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
STCT provides services to individuals in connection with booking travel arrangements and services, and through providing services to individuals it may collect and process personal data about individuals (“Services”). In addition to this, the Website also collects certain personal data from users, in accordance with this Policy.
STCT and its affiliated Group companies or brands (“STCT Group”) are firmly committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of all personal data received or collected, in strict adherence to Data Protection Legislation (defined below) and best business practice. The STCT Group has established this Policy so that you can understand the care with which We intend to treat your personal data.
How to contact us
We have a data privacy manager who is responsible (together with our Data Protection Committee) for overseeing questions in relation to this Policy. If you have any questions about this Policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact the data privacy manager using the details set out below. If you have any questions regarding your personal data and how We may use it, including any queries relating to this Policy, please contact us at data@stlon.com or writing to our “Data Privacy Manager” at the head office address noted above.
It is important that the personal data We hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep Us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with Us.
Terminology used
STCT’s data protection and privacy measures are governed by all applicable data protection and privacy legislation in force from time to time in the UK, including without limitation (i) the UK GDPR (which has the meaning given to it in section 3(10) (as supplemented by section 205(4)) of the Data Protection Act 2018); the Data Protection Act 2018 (and regulations made thereunder); and (ii) to the extent EU GDPR applies, the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679)) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/2426) as amended (“Data Protection Legislation”).
For the purpose of Data Protection Legislation where personal data is provided directly to STCT through use of the Website, email, meeting with you or other means where STCT is determining the way in which that personal data is processed, then STCT will be a data controller of such information.
Personal data and Basis for Collection
Personal data means any data or information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
Where STCT is acting as a data controller, STCT may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which STCT has grouped together as follows:
If you fail to provide personal data
Where STCT needs to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract STCT has with you (or our client whom STCT acts for) and you fail to provide that data when requested, STCT may not be able to perform the contract it has or is trying to enter. In this case, STCT may have to cancel the Services but it will notify you (or where appropriate, its client) if this is the case at the time.
How is your personal data collected?
STCT uses different methods to collect personal data from and about you including through:
How STCT uses your personal data
STCT will only use your personal data when the law allows Us to, ie, if We have a legal basis for doing so, as outlined in this Policy or as notified to you at the time We collect your personal data, and for the purposes for which it was collected for, unless We reasonably consider that We need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If We need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, We will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows Us to do this. Please note that We may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, where this is required or permitted by law.
Where We act as the data controller for client contact information, We have set out below in the table a description of all the ways We plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases We rely on to do so. We have also identified what Our legitimate interests are, where appropriate.
Note that We may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which We are using your data.

How your personal data may be shared
Where We act as the data controller, personal data processed by STCT may be shared as follows:
Third party travel service providers
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow Our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with Our instructions.
Many of Our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever We transfer your personal data to countries outside of the EEA to other people or companies it will be for one of the legal bases for processing your personal data as indicated above. Where We do so, We will take all steps to ensure that any country to which the personal data has been transferred has suitable protection mechanisms in place to protect personal data, including (if applicable) use of EU Model Clauses in any contract with that third party for steps to be taken to keep personal data secure. We will always ensure suitable safeguards are implemented.
Please contact Us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by Us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

Personal Data Retention
We will keep your information for as long as We need it for the purpose it is being processed for.

The information may also be retained so that We can continue to improve your experience with Us, this will usually be no longer than 7 years after you have travelled with Us.
We will actively review the information We hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymise it, when there is no longer a legal, business or customer need for it to be retained.

Where you exercise your right to request access to the information STCT processes about you, you will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).
