Our collection and use of your personal information

When we use your personal information we are required to have a legal basis for doing so.
There are various different legal bases upon which we may rely, depending on what personal information we process and why.
The legal bases we may rely on include:

  • consent: where you have given us clear consent for us to process your personal information for a specific purpose
  • contract: where our use of your personal information is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract
  • legal obligation: where our use of your personal information is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations)
  • legitimate interests: where our use of your personal information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (unless there is a good reason to protect your personal information which overrides our legitimate interests)

Further information — the personal information we collect, when and how we use it

For further details on when we collect personal information, what we collect as well as how we use it, please read the following sections:

When information is collectedWhat information we ask forHow and why we use your information
When you contact usContact details:
Your name, your organisation/ company name, telephone numbers and email address
We ask for this to communicate with you effectively and without causing delay.
We rely on consent and legitimate interest as the lawful basis for collecting and using your personal information.
We will keep this information for the maximum period of 36 months from the time we have completed communicating with you in respect of your enquiries.
We believe it is prudent to keep your information for the period of 36 months, because we would usually require about three years in our market to complete all the necessary arrangements and bookings after the initial enquiry stage has been concluded.
During such 36 months, we aim to process your requirements efficiently and to use our best endeavours to procure necessary arrangements and bookings according to your requirements.

Who we share your personal information with

We only share your name and your contact details with our other offices, our agents and/or third party suppliers where necessary in providing services to you.
This data sharing enables them to provide the appropriate services you might require.
Where we share your personal information with third parties who process your personal information on our behalf, they will only process your information on our instructions and we will remain responsible in ensuring that your personal information is processed lawfully in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679.
Some of those third party recipients may be based outside the European Economic Area — for further information including on how we safeguard your personal data when this occurs, see ‘Transfer of your information out of the EEA’.
We will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law.
We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

Whether information has to be provided by you, and if so why

We require you to provide name, organisation/company name, email address, and telephone number to enable us to identify you and to provide appropriate information in respect of your queries.

  • Japan – in order to provide your name, your organisation and/or company name, email address and telephone number, so that our overseas suppliers can provide you the necessary services in Japan, where required.

Japan does not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. The European Commission has recently adopted its adequacy decision in relation to the sharing of personal data from the European Union (including the UK) to Japan. a copy of which is available on https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/draft_adequacy_decision.pdf.
We will not otherwise transfer your personal data outside of the EEA or to any organisation (or subordinate bodies) governed by public international law or which is set up under any agreement between two or more countries.
This privacy policy is in respect of your rights and data protection in jurisdiction of England and Wales; you are recommended to take independent legal advice on your rights and data protection in Japan.
