How we share your information

Please be aware that the tours and services we list are operated by independent partner companies. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not by Travel to Iceland's Privacy Policy.

Additionally, for specific activities, these partners might ask you directly for sensitive information to ensure a tour is suitable for you. In such cases, it is their policy that applies, and we recommend you review it carefully.

We share your information with travel partners (like tour companies, airlines, and camper and car rental sites) for two main reasons:

1. To book your trip: We share the necessary details (like your name and preferences) so they can complete your vehicle rental or service booking.
2. For their own marketing: They may also use your information for their own advertising and offers.

If you sign in to Travel to Iceland using your Facebook account, you may see recommendations based on your Facebook friends' activity here (such as tours they've booked or photos they've shared).

Please note: Your friends who also use Travel to Iceland may share information about you with us through Facebook. To manage this, you can adjust your privacy settings in Facebook.

These transfers may occur when we need to store or process data in global data centers.We ensure that any such transfer of your personal data is carried out in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To safeguard your data during these transfers, we rely on standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards, ensuring that your data is protected in accordance with GDPR standards.
