Information we may collect
Information collected automatically
When you use the website, hosting, security, analytics, consent-management, and performance tools may process technical data. This can include IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, dates and times, referring page, outbound link interactions, error data, and cookie or consent identifiers.
Information you provide
If you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, message, and any information you choose to include. Please do not send passport details, payment-card information, health information, or other sensitive travel documents. Tour bookings are completed with third parties, not on this website.
Affiliate and referral information
When you select an affiliate link, the URL may contain a referral identifier. A booking platform or affiliate network may report aggregated or transaction-level attribution information, such as that a qualifying booking occurred, its general value, product identifier, time, or commission. We do not need your payment-card details to receive an affiliate report.
How and why we use information
Depending on the context and applicable law, we use information to:
- deliver pages, remember necessary settings, and maintain website functionality;
- protect the website, investigate abuse, diagnose faults, and prevent fraud;
- understand aggregate traffic and improve destinations, comparisons, and usability;
- measure whether affiliate links lead to qualifying transactions;
- reply to messages and manage requests;
- comply with legal duties and establish or defend legal claims.
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, the relevant legal basis may be performance of a requested service, legitimate interests in operating and securing the website, consent for nonessential tracking, or compliance with a legal obligation. You can withdraw consent for future processing where consent is the basis.
Retention and security
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, including security, accounting, dispute, and legal requirements. Retention varies by data type and provider configuration. Aggregated or de-identified information may be kept longer when it can no longer reasonably identify you.
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet transmission, website, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your privacy rights and choices
Your rights depend on where you live and the law that applies. They may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, and the right to complain to a data protection authority. Residents of some US states may also have rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of regulated sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, and limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.
We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. Some analytics or affiliate technologies may be treated as “sharing,” targeted advertising, or a regulated transfer under certain laws. If the website engages in activity that requires an opt-out mechanism, the operator must provide and honor the applicable control, including legally recognized browser signals where required.
A privacy request may require information needed to verify identity and protect personal information. Authorized agents may be required to show authority to act. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Children
Helicopter Tours is a general travel-comparison website and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information directly to us, contact us so the situation can be reviewed.
Third-party websites
Our policies apply to Helicopter Tours, not to booking platforms, operators, embedded services, or other websites. Review the third party’s privacy and cookie information before providing personal information or completing a booking.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, providers, or legal requirements change. The revised date at the top shows when the current version was published. Material changes may also be highlighted on the website where appropriate.
