Who we share your information with

Your information and third party companies
The information provided by customers during the ordering process such as their name, physical address, email address, and payment information is considered private, and International Travel Ltd. will not sell, rent or lease this personal information to third parties.
Bohemia Ltd. will not share your personal information with others except in connection with the provision of our services to you.

Bohemia Ltd. contracts with third-party service providers in connection with the performance of our services. When we share personal data with other organisations we require them to keep it safe, and they must not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes.

We only share the minimum personal data that enable our suppliers and retail partners to provide their services to you and us. For example, Bohemia Ltd. uses certain banking institutions to process commission payments. Such third-party service providers are generally required to keep confidential the information received on behalf of Bohemia Ltd. and may not use any such personal information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Bohemia Ltd. These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers to better serve our customers.

So that you can travel, it may be mandatory (as required by government authorities at the point(s) of departure and/or destination) to disclose and process your personal data for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism purposes, or any other purposes which they determine appropriate. Some countries will only permit travel if you provide your advance passenger data. These requirements may differ depending on your destination and you are advised to check. Even if not mandatory, we may assist where appropriate. We may share the minimum personal data necessary with other public authorities if the law says we must, or we are legally allowed to do so.
