Last updated: 14 September 2026

Budget Travel Booking is operated by Bill McIntosh as a sole trader in the United Kingdom. For privacy enquiries contact bookings@budgetravelbookings.com.

1. Information we may collect

We may collect information you choose to provide, technical information such as browser/device data, IP-derived information, cookie identifiers, referral data and website interaction data. We do not need payment-card information because purchases are completed with third-party travel providers.

2. Why we use information

to operate, secure and improve the website;
to respond to enquiries;
to understand website performance;
to measure affiliate referrals and commissions;
to comply with legal obligations.

3. Lawful bases

Depending on the activity, we rely on consent, legitimate interests, performance of a requested service, and legal obligations under UK data-protection law.

4. Affiliate and third-party services

Affiliate links can contain tracking identifiers. When you click a partner link, the destination website may set its own cookies or process personal data under its own privacy policy. Travelpayouts and participating travel brands may process referral and conversion data to attribute commissions.

5. Cookies and analytics

Essential technologies may operate without consent where legally permitted. Optional analytics, advertising or affiliate technologies should be activated only in accordance with your cookie choice. See our Cookie Policy.

6. Sharing and international transfers

We may use service providers and affiliate networks located in the UK, EEA or other countries. Where required, appropriate safeguards should be used for international transfers.

7. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, legal compliance, dispute handling and security.

8. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

This website is intended for general travel planning and is not directed at children under 13.

11. Changes

We may update this policy as the site, partners or legal requirements change.

Pre-launch compliance check: confirm whether an ICO registration/fee is required for your processing activities and add any statutory postal contact information required for your specific trading setup before relying on this page as final legal advice.
