Privacy Statement

First things first – your privacy is important to us. That might be the kind of thing all these notices say, but we mean it. You place your trust in us by using jollyhols.com services, and we value that trust. That means we’re committed to protecting and safeguarding any personal data you give us. We act in our customers’ interest and are transparent about the processing of your personal data.

This document describes how we use and process your personal data, provided in a readable and transparent manner. It also tells you what rights you can exercise in relation to your personal data (such as the right to object) and how to contact us. Please also read our Cookie Statement, which tells you how Jollyhols.com uses cookies and other similar technologies.

If you’ve used us before, you know that Jollyhols.com offers online travel-related services through our own websites and mobile apps, as well as other online platforms such as partners’ websites and social media. We’d like to point out that all the info you’re about to read generally applies to not one, not two, but all of these platforms.

In fact, this single privacy statement applies to any kind of customer info we collect through all of the above platforms or by any other means connected to these platforms, such as when you contact our customer service team by email.

If you’re one of our business partners, check out our Privacy Statement for Business Partners to understand how personal data is further processed as part of the business relationship.

We might amend the Privacy Statement from time to time, so we recommend revisiting this page occasionally to make sure you know where you stand. If we make changes to the Privacy Statement which will have an impact on you (e.g. if we intend to process your personal data for other purposes than previously communicated), we’ll notify you of these changes before the new activities begin.

And now, the sad but necessary part: If you disagree with this Privacy Statement, you should discontinue using our services. If you agree with our Privacy Statement, then you’re all set to book your next trip through us.

What kind of personal data does jollyhols.com collect?

Depending on the law that applies to you, we might be required to provide some additional info. If you’d like to learn more, continue reading.

Personal data you give to us.

jollyhols.com collects and uses the info you provide us. When you make a Trip Reservation, you are (at a minimum) asked for your name and email address.

Depending on the Trip Reservation, we might also ask for your home address, phone number, payment info, date of birth, the names of any guests traveling with you, and any preferences (e.g. meal preferences, mobility restrictions) you have for your Trip.

If you need to get in touch with our customer service team, contact your Trip Provider through us, or reach out to us in a different way (e.g. social media), we’ll collect info from you there, too. This applies whether you’re contacting us with feedback or asking for help using our services.

You might also be invited to write reviews to help inform others about the experiences you had on your Trip. When you write a review on the jollyhols.com platform, we’ll collect any info you’ve included, along with your display name and avatar (if you choose one).

There are other instances where you’ll provide us with info, as well. For example, if you’re browsing with your mobile device, you can decide to allow jollyhols.com to see your current location or grant us access to your contacts. This helps us give you the best possible service and experience by, for example, showing you our city guides, suggesting restaurants and attractions close to your location, or making other recommendations.

If you create a user account, we’ll also store your personal settings, uploaded photos, and reviews of previous jollyhols. This saved data can be used to help you plan and manage future Trip Reservations or benefit from other features only available to account holders, such as incentives or other benefits.

We may offer you referral programs or sweepstakes. Participating in these will involve providing us with relevant personal data.

Personal data you give us about others.

Of course, you might not just be making a Trip Reservation for yourself. You might be taking a Trip with other people or making a reservation on someone else’s behalf. In both scenarios, you’ll provide their details as part of the Trip Reservation.

If you have a jollyhols.com for Business account, you can also keep an address book to make it easier to plan and manage business travel arrangements for others.

In some cases, you might use jollyhols.com to share info with others. This can take the form of sharing a wish list or participating in a referral program, as described when you use the relevant feature.

At this point, we have to make it clear that it’s your responsibility to ensure that the person or people you provide personal data about are aware that you’ve done so and that they’ve understood and accepted how jollyhols.com uses their info (as described in this Privacy Statement).

Personal data we collect automatically.

Whether or not you end up making a Trip Reservation, when you visit our websites or apps, we automatically collect certain info. This includes your IP address, the date and time you accessed our services, the hardware, software, or internet browser you used, and info about your computer’s operating system like application versions and your language settings. We also collect information about clicks and which pages were shown to you.

If you’re using a mobile device, we collect data that identifies the device, as well as data about your device-specific settings and characteristics, app crashes, and other system activity. When you make a Trip Reservation using this kind of device, our system registers how you made your reservation (on which website), and/or which site you came from when you entered the jollyhols.com website or app.

Personal data we receive from other sources.

It’s not just the things you tell us, though – we may also receive info about you from other sources. These include business partners, such as affiliate partners, subsidiaries of the jollyhols.com corporate group, other affiliates of the jollyhols Holdings Inc. corporate group, and other independent third parties.

Anything we receive from these partners may be combined with info provided by you. For example, jollyhols.com Trip Reservation services aren’t only made available via jollyhols.com and the jollyhols.com apps, but are also integrated into services of affiliate partners you can find online. When you use any of these services, you provide the reservation details to our business partners who then forward your details to us.

We also integrate with third party service providers to facilitate payments between you and Trip Providers. These service providers share payment information, so we can administer and handle your Trip Reservation, making sure everything goes as smoothly as possible for you.

We also collect info when we receive a complaint about you from a Trip Provider (e.g. in the case of misconduct).

Another way we might receive data about you is through the communication services integrated into our platforms. These communication services offer you a way to contact the Trip Provider you’ve booked with to discuss your stay. In some cases, we receive metadata about these communication activities (e.g. who you are, where you called from, and the date and length of the call).

We may also receive info about you in order to show you more relevant ads, such as the additional cookie data jollyhols.com social media partners make available to us. Please read the section Why does jollyhols.com collect and use your personal data? for more info.

When you link your jollyhols.com user account to a social media account, you might exchange data between jollyhols.com and that social media provider. You can always choose not to share that data.
