Last updated: 21 August 2026

Make Me A Booking recognises the importance of protecting personal information and is committed to handling personal data responsibly, securely and transparently.

This policy describes the principles followed when personal data is processed in connection with MakeMeABooking.com.

Our approach

Personal information should only be collected where there is a legitimate reason for doing so.

We seek to ensure that personal data is:

• processed lawfully, fairly and transparently;
• collected for specified and legitimate purposes;
• adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary;
• accurate and kept reasonably up to date;
• retained only for as long as necessary;
• protected using appropriate security measures.

Data minimisation

Make Me A Booking aims to collect the minimum amount of personal information reasonably necessary to operate the website and associated services.

We do not seek to build unnecessary personal profiles of website visitors.

Lawful processing

Where personal data is processed, an appropriate lawful basis will be identified.

Depending upon the circumstances, this may include consent, contractual necessity, legal obligation or legitimate interests.

Where consent is relied upon, individuals should be able to withdraw that consent as easily as it was provided.

Marketing communications

Where Make Me A Booking offers newsletters, travel alerts or other direct electronic marketing, communications will be sent in accordance with applicable UK privacy and electronic communications requirements.

Recipients will be provided with an appropriate method of unsubscribing.

Cookies and tracking

Non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be managed in accordance with applicable UK requirements.

Where consent is required, visitors will be given an appropriate opportunity to make a choice before relevant non-essential tracking technologies are activated.

Third-party processors and partners

Make Me A Booking may use external service providers for functions such as website hosting, security, analytics, email distribution, advertising and affiliate tracking.

Where appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and ensure suitable contractual or data-protection arrangements are in place.

Affiliate and booking partners may also process information independently as separate data controllers under their own privacy policies.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures will be used to protect personal information.

These may include appropriate access controls, account security, software updates, secure hosting, backups and limiting access to information to those who reasonably require it.

Data breaches

Suspected personal-data breaches will be investigated promptly.

Where required by applicable legislation, relevant breaches will be reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office and affected individuals within the applicable statutory timescales.

Individual rights

Requests concerning personal data rights will be handled in accordance with applicable UK data-protection legislation.

Identity verification may be requested where reasonably necessary before disclosing or altering personal information.
