1.5 YOUR PRODUCT

1.5.1 INDEPENDENT TRIPS.

For independent trips, the product we are selling to you is comprised of the following elements:

1.5.1.1 Rail tickets. This will cover the cost of all train journeys detailed in the specific travel itinerary for your product. Any train journey taken that is not on the pre-arranged itinerary will not be included in the price of the Euroventure package. The rail ticket does not include the cost of any upgrades or extra fees. They may sometimes include a seat reservation but this is not guaranteed. Interrail passes, Eurail passes or bus tickets may be issued instead of or alongside rail tickets.

1.5.1.2 Accommodation. Accommodation will be provided for every night (except for when a night train or bus is scheduled) as detailed on the specific itinerary. The specific details of the accommodation reservations will be included in the travel pack. All accommodation will have been pre-approved by Euroventure Travel Ltd to ensure that it is of a similar standard as accommodation at each destination in the itinerary. This will be in hostels or hotels and may be in private or shared accommodation with or without en-suite facilities. Breakfast is included where stated in the itinerary and travel pack. We reserve the right to change the accommodation at any point in time, including after the trip has started. Any changes to the accommodation will maintain the similar standards as the original accommodation stated on the itinerary.

1.5.1.3 Itinerary. The itinerary will be issued once full payment has been received. It will include the specific trains that must be taken in order to reach the next destination on the trip in time, the details of the accommodation and directions on how to get there and emergency contact information. We reserve the right to change the destination, route, train, accommodation and itinerary at any point in time. If this occurs, we will inform you as soon as possible.

1.5.2 GROUP TOURS

The product comprises the same elements ad for individual trips as listed in 1.5.1. Additionally, the following is included:

1.5.2.1 Servises of a Tour Leader. The tour leader will travel with the group on every train and bus along the route specified. They will also travel with the group to and from the train station and hostel in each city, and to and from each included activity in each city in accordance with the travel pack. They will assist in the logistics of checking in and checking out customers and selling optional activities. They may at times offer to travel with the group or conduct activities with the group that are extra to what is stated in the travel pack but this is always at the discretion of the tour leader and not an entitlement.

We will not pay for any journeys that are not scheduled on the itinerary.

Name changes should be clearly noted about who is no longer on the trip and the new name must fill out their personal details form at the time of the change. Please note the change fee is non-refundable and must be paid upfront in order to confirm your changes. It is not possible to make name changes within 90 days of your existing departure date.

If we are unable to accommodate your request within 90 days of your trip, you can continue with your trip as it is, or please see the section on cancellation for further information.

34.2.Euroventure reserves the right to cancel your tour at any point before or during the tour if it is deemed that your behaviour is detrimental to the group, through for example innapropriate behaviour, bullying or harrasment of staff or other customers. In such an event, your place on the tour will be retracted without any form of refund or compensation.

34.3.Operation of all group tours is dependent upon a minimum number of persons booking the tour. If that number is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the tour. In this unlikely situation you will be offered to conduct the same trip as an independent trip (not travelling with a group and tour leader) if possible, transfer to another tour of the same route and duration or receive a full refund. In this unlikely situation, no refund will be offered for any travel already booked to the starting point or from the end point of the trip.

34.8.If, for any reason, you fail to turn up to your group tour, leave the group group or decide against travelling, it is your responsibility to inform Euroventure at grouptours@euroventure.com within 48 hours, if you intend to rejoin the tour at a later date. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours from the moment you are considered absent, then your booking will be treated as cancelled without refund.

34.9.For some products, Euroventure is acting as the agent, with the product operated by one of our selected partners.

35.FLEXI-START AND POSTPONEMENT STATUS

35.1 Bookings can fall under two mutually exclusive statuses – ‘flexi-start’ or ‘postponement’. The status ‘Flexi-Start’ is an add-on to your booking which you can use to change the departure date written on your original Booking Summary document (the ‘original departure date’ on the ‘original booking’) to a new travel date (the ‘postponed departure date’), subject to the terms below. The status ‘ Postponement’ is a separate status which has the same rules as flexi-start, except where detailed in separate brackets below.

35.2 Flexi-Start is only applicable to European set trips, custom routes and group tours. It is not applicable to non-European trips, unless we have specifically offered this to you.

35.3 We reserve the right to withdraw the Flexi-Start add-on for new customers or for specific trips at any time.

35.4 Flexi-Start can be added to your booking by you at any point up to and including the date your full balance payment is due. It is your responsibility to make sure you have our written confirmation of your Flexi-Start, either on a Booking Summary and/or an invoice, for it to be valid. Flexi-Start cannot be added retrospectively to your booking after your full balance due date has passed.

35.5 If your booking includes a Flexi-Start, you can move your original departure date (‘activate’ the Flexi-Start) by informing us in writing and giving at least 30 days’ notice before the original departure date. Flexi-Start suspends your booking by up to 18 months (the ‘validity period’) before you need to confirm your postponed departure date (‘use’ the Flexi Start). At the point that you use your Flexi-Start, your postponed departure date can be up to a further 18 months in the future.

35.6 Flexi-Start and Postponement does not change the overall payment conditions of your trip. You are still required to pay your full balance by the date shown on the Booking Summary of your original booking. If you fail to do so your booking will be treated as cancelled by you, subject to normal cancellation terms.

35.7 When you plan to use your Flexi Start you must give us at least 30 days’ notice (60 days’ notice for ‘Postponement’ status) before your intended postponed departure date. Your postponed departure date cannot be before your original departure date.

35.8 For example, if your original departure date is 1 May 2020 and you activate your Flexi-Start subject to the conditions above, you have a validity period until 1 Nov 2021 in which to set your postponed departure up to 1 May 2023.

35.9 If your postponed departure date falls in another season, on a special event or you change the number of passengers or accommodation type, the cost of the trip may increase. If the new trip has a higher cost than the original booking because of either of these reasons, then you are liable to pay the difference.

35.10 If your postponed departure date falls out of season for your route, or there is no availability for a certain portion of it, or the accommodation or transport price has increased above the cost budgeted for your original departure date, or we reasonably believe that trip may not be able to go ahead, we reserve the right to refuse your postponed departure date and will advise you on when you are able to move your trip to.

35.11 Your postponed departure date is only confirmed by us when we issue you with an updated Booking Summary or invoice document (the ‘postponed booking’), or confirm by email. At this point your Flexi-Start add-on has been used and any further changes to the departure date would be subject to normal booking conditions.

35.12 The only person with the authority to add, activate or use a Flexi-Start is the lead booker named on the Booking Summary of the original booking. It is their responsibility to seek permissions from other travelling members of the group and act on their behalf when dealing with us.

Cancellation

35.35 The Flexi-Start add-on is non-refundable and non-changeable.

35.14 Flexi-Start and Postponements do not change your right to a refund, as a postponed booking is subject to the same cancellation conditions as its original booking:

• Up to 90 days before the original departure date cancellation charges are the deposit amount plus the flexi-start amount (deposits and flexi-start add-ons are non-refundable)
• Within 90 days of your original departure date the cancellation charges are 100% of the trip cost (deposit, flexi start add-on and balance are all non-refundable)

35.15 For example, if you make a booking on 1 Jan 2019 for an original departure date of 1 Jun 2019, you pay your deposit on 1 Jan 2019 and your remainder balance by 3 March 2019 (90 days before the original departure date). Your trip becomes non-refundable on 3 March 2019 as we have begun arranging your accommodation and transport. If you then postpone or activate a Flexi-Start by 1 May 2019 (up to 30 days before your original departure date), the postponed booking retains its terms and conditions from the original booking and therefore remains non-refundable.

35.16 If you do not use your Flexi-Start or Postponement before the expiry date of the validity period (18 months after activating it), we will treat your booking as cancelled by you. Subject to the conditions above this means you will not receive a refund and your Flexi-Start or Postponement will be void.

36. EUROVENTURE TRAVEL CREDIT

36.1 If you have been offered a Euroventure travel credit, you must travel within 36 months of the original departure date. The travel credit is up to the value stipulated and can be used to make new bookings subject to prices at the time of booking. Euroventure Travel Credit is non-refundable and is subject to the same terms as a trip postponement. The difference between a postponement and a credit is that you can use credit to book any new route or for multiple trips. A postponement is used to postpone the same route you originally booked.

36.2 If you do not use your travel credit within 36 months of your original departure date, we will treat your booking as cancelled by you subject to the conditions above and you will not receive a refund.

37. COVID

37.1 We follow the advice of the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office. If they do not advise against travel to your destination then your trip to that location will go ahead as planned. We urge travellers from outside the UK to check their own government advice before booking or travelling. All travellers should check the advice of countries where they intend to visit.

37.2 It is entirely your responsibility to ensure that you can meet and fulfil any entry requirements to a country. This could be in relation to providing proof of vaccination, negative tests or any other necessary document. You will not be able to move your trip, nor will you be eligble for a refund if you fail to gain entry or have any restrictions imposed on you after entering a country, due to not meeting the entry requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have proof of any relevant vaccinations if they are required to avoid restrictions.

37.3 It is your reponsibility to cover the costs of any testing requirements before, on or after your trip and to regularly check these as advice can change at short notice.

37.4 Currently our group tours are only available for fully vaccinated travellers. Past your due date, you are not eligble for a refund if you book onto a group tour and are not fully vaccinated, or do not intend to be fully vaccinated by the time your group tour starts.

37.5 In the event you test positive for COVID on a group tour, you must follow the rules of the country in which you have tested positive in. This may include self-isolation, of which will be at your own expense. Euroventure cannot help organise accommodation for self-isolation. You may be able to rejoin the remainder of your group tour following your isolation period.

38. FINANCIAL FAILURE INSURANCE

38.1 In accordance with the UK Package Travel & Linked Travel Regulations 2018 all passengers booking with Euroventure Travel Ltd are fully protected for the initial deposit and subsequently the balance of all monies received by us, including repatriation costs and arrangements, arising from cancellation or curtailment of your travel arrangements due to the insolvency of Euroventure Travel Ltd. There is no requirement for Financial Protection of day trips or single elements, and none is provided.

38.2 Euroventure Travel Ltd has taken out an insurance provided by International Passenger Protection Ltd (IPP) with Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe SE (LMIE) trading as Liberty Specialty Markets, a member of the

1. Important information and who we are

Purpose of this privacy notice

This privacy notice aims to give you information on how Euroventure Travel collects and processes your personal data through your use of this website, including any data you may provide through this website when you request a quote, sign up to our newsletter, book or service or take part in a competition.

This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. The only exception to this is that we may require details from a parent about a child who is travelling with them, for example their passport details, date of birth and full name.

It is important that you read this privacy notice together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy notice supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.

Controller

Euroventure Travel is the controller and responsible for your personal data (collectively referred to as “Euroventure”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this privacy notice).

We have appointed a data protection officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy notice. If you have any questions about this privacy notice, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact the DPO using the details set out below.

Contact details

Our full details are:

Full name of legal entity: Euroventure Travel

Name or title of DPO: Philip Cabra Netherton

Email address: philip@euroventure.com

Postal address:

Telephone number: 0113 288 3014

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).

We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.

Changes to the privacy notice and your duty to inform us of changes

This version was last updated on 22/05/2018. If you’d like to receive it in email format, please email the DPO.

The data protection law in the UK will change on 25 May 2018. Although this privacy notice sets out most of your rights under the new laws, we may not yet be able to respond to some of your requests (for example, a request for the transfer of your personal data) until May 2018 as we are still working towards getting our systems ready for some of these changes.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Third-party links

This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.

2. The data we collect about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together follows:

• Identity Data includes [first name, maiden name, last name, passport details, marital status, title, date of birth and gender].
• Contact Data includes [billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers].
• Financial Data includes [bank account and payment card details].
• Transaction Data includes [details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us].
• Technical Data includes [internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website].

• Usage Data includes [information about how you use our website, products and services].
• Marketing and Communications Data includes [your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences].

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.

However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data).

Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

If you fail to provide personal data where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with the trip you have booked). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. How is your personal data collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

• Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:

• book a trip either with one of our trip planners or on our website;
• subscribe to our service or publications;
• request marketing to be sent to you;
• enter a competition, promotion or survey; or

• Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies, server logs and other similar technologies. Please see our cookie policy for further information about this.

• Identity and Contact Data from publicly availably sources [such as Companies House and the Electoral Register based inside the EU].

4. How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. We will not automatically opt you in to receiving marketing emails. As well as the opportunity to opt-in to our marketing preferences at each point where you submit details to us, we have established a Marketing Preferences page where you can manage your choices at any time.

You will receive marketing communications from us if you opted in to marketing emails at the point of purchasing a trip from us, entering a competition or registering for a promotion. You will also receive them if you signed up to our mailing list independently.

Third-party marketing

Euroventure Travel will not pass on or sell your data to any third parties without your permission. If it is necessary to pass your details on for marketing purposes, we will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a booking or enquiry. We will still hold your personal data safely and securely, but we will no longer contact you.

Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

5. Disclosures of your personal data

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above.

• Internal Third Parties as set out in the [Glossary].
• External Third Parties as set out in the [Glossary].
• [Specific third parties [listed in the table in [paragraph 4] above]]
• Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6. International transfers
Many of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented.

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
• Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

7. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see [Request erasure] below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. Please contact us to find out more about these rights:

• [Request access to your personal data].
• [Request correction of your personal data].
• [Request erasure of your personal data].
• [Object to processing of your personal data].
• [Request restriction of processing your personal data].
• [Request transfer of your personal data].
• [Right to withdraw consent].

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact the DPO.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you:

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will acknowledge your request within 1 month and keep you updated on the progress.

10. Glossary

LAWFUL BASIS
Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

THIRD PARTIES

External Third Parties

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

You can object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data.

This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

(a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;

(b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;

(c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

(d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.

We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you.

We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

2.3.2.If we have been legitimately asked to provide information for legal or regulatory purposes or as part of legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings.

2.3.3. We employ companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf and we may disclose your Personal Data to these parties for the purposes set out in clause 2.1 or, for example, for fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links) and providing customer service. Those parties are bound by strict contractual provisions with us and only have access to Personal Data needed to perform their functions, and may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by the Data Protection Act 1998.  From time to time, these other people and organisations to whom we may pass your Personal Data may be outside the European Economic Area.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Data Protection Act 1998.

2.4.Where you give us Personal Data on behalf of someone else, you confirm that you have provided them with the information set out in this Privacy Policy and that they have not objected to such use of their Personal Data.

We and they may keep a record of the search. Information held about you by these agencies may be linked to records relating to other people living at the same address with whom you are financially linked. These records will also be taken into account in credit and fraud prevention checks. Information from your application and payment details of your account will be recorded with one or more of these agencies and may be shared with other organisations to help make credit and insurance decisions about you and members of your household with whom you are financially linked and for debt collection and fraud prevention. This includes those who have moved house and who have missed payments.

2.5.2.If you provide false or inaccurate information to us and we suspect fraud, we will record this and may share it with other people and organisations. We, and other credit and insurance organisations, may also use technology to detect and prevent fraud.

3.3.We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.

Referral Scheme

New bookings made for European interrailing packages and European group tours on www.euroventure.com using a personal referral link will earn the referrer £50. In addition to this, the referee will receive £50 discount on their booking.

For the incentive and discount to be redeemed, the referee must have booked their trip using the link shared by the referrer. The discount is not redeemable on existing bookings, trips booked offline, transport-only bookings, custom trips or non-European trips/group tours.

The discount is not applicable in combination with any other offer or incentive. Each referrer may only refer one traveller per group.

The £50 incentive will be paid to the referrer via bank transfer only, at the time of departure of the referee’s trip. If the booked trip is cancelled before departure the £50 cash incentive will not be redeemable.

The £50 discount will only be applied after the referee’s booking has been made online. This will be in the form of a deduction from the remaining balance, or in circumstances where the full balance has been paid up front, the discount amount will be refunded via bank transfer to the lead booker of the trip.

Euroventure reserves the right to amend, waive, withhold or withdraw this offer at any time without notice.
