Kletter Kft On Privacy

What is our philosophy regarding Data Protection and Privacy?

We believe that we as a provider of a wide range of services need to be as open and straight forward as possible regarding our usage of Personal Data provided by our visitors and clients or the online travel agents, travel operators or other travel companies (let’s call them “Travel Suppliers”). We hereby commit to defend Your Personal Data from any illegal usage, or data leaks and data breaches. We’ll do everything in our power to forward your personal data to third parties who provide the adequate measures of safety and security for the protection your personal data requires.

Sign in to enjoy an ad-free experience and stay up-to-date with our latest features.

Along with our Terms of Service , this policy explains how we collect and handle your Personal Data across all of our websites, mobile apps and other services in as plain and simple manner that is possible. We can only speak for ourselves, so this policy doesn’t cover the collection or use of your data by any of the Travel Suppliers we feature. That means when you make a booking request with a Travel Supplier, your information will be processed by them in accordance with their own privacy policy and terms and conditions. But don’t worry, we’ll always give you the links, so you can read them before making a booking.

If you have any form of question or suggestion, please feel free to contact us!

On location of data storage

We store your personal data only where we are certain that the appropriate safety, security, and legal measures have been made.

We are using public cloud providers with servers mainly in Ireland. These servers are provided and/or supported by our contracted third parties acting under our instructions.

We only store European users’ personal data outside the European Economic Area where a European Commission-approved method of validating the transfer has been put in place.

On Personal Data security

We respect your privacy and safeguarding your personal data is embedded in our culture. We use a combination of industry-standard and good practice methods to protect it. We limit access to only those Trekhunt employees who must come into contact with your information to do their jobs and deliver our services.

Unfortunately, no website or app can guarantee complete security, but we have created an organization-wide security program designed to keep your personal data as safe as possible. It uses a range of technical, organizational and administrative security measures and good practice techniques, depending on the type of data being processed. For example, the computer systems we use to store your data have access limitations and are hosted with reputable vendors. We use TLS and HTTPS encryption to protect your personal data when we transfer it across the internet. And we carry out security assessments on Third Party Processors who handle your data.

To make sure we maintain a culture of ‘Privacy by Design’, we provide thorough data protection and privacy training to all Trekhunt group employees. We develop our services with the goal of using the minimum amount of personal data possible, including through use of data minimization techniques like anonymization and pseudonymization. Also, whenever we develop or update our services in ways that involve the collection or use of new forms of personal data, we conduct a privacy impact assessment to understand, and reduce, the likelihood of any unintended impact on you.

We take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Data. The Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to Trekhunt, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of trekhunt.com (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party travel suppliers, technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by Trekhunt. The updated list of these parties may be requested from Trekhunt at any time.
