We may collect, hold, use and disclose your information for the following purposes:
Administering services we are providing to you such as arranging your tour booking.
Facilitating compliance with legal requirements. As an example, some countries only permit travel with advance passenger data. These requirements may differ depending upon your destination, and you are advised to confirm. Even if not mandatory, we may exercise our discretion to assist with facilitating compliance with such requirements where appropriate.
Managing our relationship with you, including updates about your Travel Experience and handling complaints.
To contact you in an emergency.
Research and analysis to provide a better customer experience, including customizing online content.
To identify and share services we think you may be interested in, including email newsletters or printed materials to your address.
Providing relevant information, which may include sensitive personal information, to insurers, their agents and medical staff in circumstances where we/they need to act on your behalf or in the interest of travelers or in an emergency.
To make improvements to our site(s) and make it easier to find the information you are looking for.
For identification of fraud or error or for regulatory reporting and compliance.
We store your personal information for as long as necessary having regard to the purposes for which it was collected or a related or ancillary purpose. We may therefore delete your personal information after a reasonable period of time and, if you have not used our services for some time, you may have to re-enter or re-supply your personal information to us.

We may share aggregated non-personal information with third parties, such as our travel industry partners to analyze trends and further improve our service to you.
In order for you to travel abroad, we may disclose your personal information where disclosure is required by government authorities at the point(s) of departure and/or destination to process your information for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism purposes, or as otherwise necessary to facilitate your participation in a Wild Terrains experience abroad.
Where you provide us personal information for the purposes of booking an experience, travel, or travel-related services on your behalf or on behalf of another person, we may provide such personal information to relevant travel providers, booking services, or other vendors or suppliers for the purposes of completing the booking and facilitating your experience and/or travel. We have no control over how these entities use, disclose or store personal information. You acknowledge and agree that we provide your personal information to such entities solely as your agent and not as the principal holder and we will not be required to ensure such entities’ compliance with applicable privacy laws, this privacy policy, or otherwise be liable or accountable for your personal information including without limitation such entities’ use and disclosure of your personal information.
We will not disclose your personal information other than as described in this Privacy Policy without your consent unless we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a threat to life, health or safety, for certain action to be undertaken by an enforcement body (e.g. prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offenses), disclosure is authorized or required by law, or disclosure is otherwise permitted by applicable privacy laws.
We will always strive to ensure that any information we gather is used ethically and fairly. If you have any questions or you would like to discuss how you would like your personal information to be used, please just contact us. We’re happy to work together.
