The Holiday Unpackaged (“we”, “our”, or “us”) operates https://theholidayunpackaged.co.uk/. We provide curated DIY travel itineraries, flight and accommodation discovery breakdowns, and travel guides for UK-based travelers. - Personal Data We Collect
We respect your privacy and keep data collection to a minimum:
- Contact Information: If you reach out to us via email or contact forms, or join our broadcast community, we may hold your email address or phone number solely to respond to your inquiry or provide requested updates.
- Technical & Analytics Data: We may collect anonymized browsing data, including your IP address, browser type, referral source, pages viewed, and time spent on pages, to improve website performance and user experience.
- Cookies: Our site uses cookies to ensure basic website functionality and analyze traffic patterns. You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings.
- Affiliate Links & Third Parties
The Holiday Unpackaged participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that if you click on a flight, hotel, or travel booking link on our website, a tracking cookie may be stored on your device to credit us with a small referral commission at no additional cost to you.
Third-party platforms (such as Ryanair, easyJet, Booking.com, Agoda, or Travelpayouts) operate their own privacy policies. We do not collect or store any payment details, credit card numbers, or booking records.
- Legal Basis under UK GDPR
We process your personal data under the lawful basis of legitimate interests (operating and improving our content platform) or explicit consent (where you voluntarily subscribe to updates or contact us). - Data Retention & Your Rights
We only retain personal communications for as long as necessary. Under UK data protection laws, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at: info@theholidayunpackaged.co.uk.
