Your privacy matters deeply to us at uk-tourism.com. We take pride in safeguarding your personal information and earning your trust every time you use our platform. As both a tour provider and an affiliate-based travel resource, we operate some tours ourselves while also linking you with trusted travel partners. For partner bookings, we do not manage transactions or payments directly.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information, following the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Uk-tourism.com provides two types of services. We operate some tours ourselves and we also act as a travel information and referral platform showcasing offers and experiences from trusted affiliate partners such as Economybooking.com, Trip.com, Localrent.com, Tiqets and others.
When you book one of our own tours, we handle your personal information directly and process it according to this Privacy Policy.
When you make a booking through one of our affiliate links, your personal information is handled by the third-party provider you choose. Their privacy policy will apply, and we recommend reviewing it carefully before sharing your details.
We only collect information necessary to communicate with you effectively and enhance your browsing experience. This may include:
Your full name
Your email address
Details you provide through forms, comments, or messages
We do not collect or store sensitive information such as payment details, booking records or identification documents. Those are handled securely by the external provider you book with.
You may share your information with us when you:
Subscribe to newsletters or travel updates
Contact us directly through email or enquiry forms
Leave feedback, comments, or reviews
If you provide information on behalf of someone else, you confirm you have their consent and that they are aware of this Privacy Policy.
We only use your personal information for legitimate and transparent purposes, such as:
Responding to your questions or support requests
Sending newsletters, travel tips, or promotions (only if you’ve opted in)
Improving our website through anonymous data analytics
