TO PROVIDE THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES YOU REQUESTWe need to process your personal data so that we can manage your booking, provide you with the products and services you want to buy and help you with any orders and refunds you may ask for.
TO MANAGE AND IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONSWe use personal data to manage and improve our products, website, customer loyalty or recognition program(s) and other services.
We monitor how our services are used to help protect your personal data, detect and prevent fraud, other crimes and the misuse of services. This helps us to make sure that you can safely use our services.
We use personal data to carry out market research and internal research and development, and to develop and improve our product range, services, IT systems, security, know-how and the way we communicate with you.
TO PERSONALIZE YOUR EXPERIENCEWe want to ensure that marketing communications relating to our products and services, and those of our suppliers and partners, including online advertising, are relevant to your interests.
To do this, we may use your personal data to better understand your interests so that we can try to predict what other products, services and information you might be most interested in. This enables us to tailor our communications to make them more relevant and interesting for you.
Looking at your browsing behavior and purchases helps us to better understand you as a customer and it allows us to provide you with personalized offers and services.
We may also measure your responses to marketing communications relating to products and services we offer, which enables us to offer you products and services that better meet your needs as a customer.
If you do not want to receive a personalized service from us, you can change your preference online, over the phone or by writing (e.g. email) to us at any time. We will update our records as soon as we can.
TO MAKE CONTACT AND INTERACT WITH YOUWe want to serve you better as a customer so if you contact us, for example by email, post, and phone or via social media, we may use personal data to provide clarification or assistance to you.

We may invite you to take part in customer surveys, questionnaires and other market research activities carried out by VROOM.DO and by other organizations on our behalf.
To help us to better understand you as a customer, and to be able to provide you with services and marketing communications (including online advertising relevant to your interests), we may combine the personal data we collect when you make purchases in person with personal data collected from our website and other sources.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
MARKETING COMMUNICATIONSFrom time to time we may send you relevant offers and news about our products and services in a number of ways, including by email. We may also send you information about other companies' products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. We will only do this if you previously agreed to receive these marketing communications.
When you book or register with us we will ask if you would like to receive marketing communications. You can change your marketing preferences online, using the 'unsubscribe' link in our marketing emails, replying STOP to the short code in our marketing text messages or by writing to us (e.g. email) at any time. Of course, the choice is entirely yours, but if you say you do not want to receive marketing information from us this will prevent you from receiving great offers or promotions that may be of interest to you.
You may still receive service-related communications from us. For example, confirming bookings you make with us and providing important information about the use of our products or services.
MARKET RESEARCHWe like to hear your views to help us to improve our products and services, so we may contact you for market research purposes. You always have the choice about whether to take part or continue in our market research.
SHARING PERSONAL DATA WITH SUPPLIERS AND PARTNERSIn order to provide products or services requested by you we may share personal data with suppliers of your travel arrangements, including airlines, hotels and transport companies.
We also work with carefully selected suppliers that carry out certain functions on our behalf. For example, companies that help us with IT services, storing and combining data, marketing, advertising campaign, market research, processing payments and delivering products and services.
We may need to share personal data to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights; this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud and reducing credit risk.
When we share personal data with other organizations 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 partners to provide their services to you and us.
SHARING PERSONAL DATA WITH REGULATORY AUTHORITIESWe 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.
SHARING PERSONAL DATA WITH CREDIT REFERENCE AND FRAUD PREVENTION AGENCIESWhen you order or buy products or services from us we may share your personal data with credit reference and fraud prevention agencies. That means looking into any records we hold about you and your records with credit reference agencies (CRAs) or fraud prevention agencies (FPAs). When they get a search from us, a 'footprint' goes on your file which other organizations might see.
We may also do checks to confirm your identity. That is to help protect you from identity theft and other types of fraud, and to prevent and detect crime or money laundering. Once in a while we might run more checks with CRAs and FPAs to keep your information and your account up to date. If false or inaccurate information is provided and identified as fraud, the details will be passed to FPAs. This information may also be shared with law enforcement agencies.
If you tell us you have got a spouse or financial associate, we will link your records together – so you must make sure you have their agreement to disclose information about them. CRAs also link your records together and these links will stay on your and their files – unless you or your partner successfully files for a disassociation with the CRAs to break that link.
