What do we do with this information:

Our purpose in collecting this information is to contact you with details regarding our products and services and to respond to your communication with us.

We collect navigational information to better understand and facilitate your use of this site and improve the services we offer via the site.

The mandatory information we collect is necessary to identify that you belong to a registered travel agency. Any other details are optional to provide. If you do not want us to use this information to contact you, you can choose not to enter it.

Use of information for other purposes:

Virgin Atlantic has a strict policy about giving the personal information of its customers to other businesses. Other than with service providers (explained below) and where it is authorised by law, our policy is that we do not generally give information on customers to other businesses unless those customers give us consent to sharing their personal information.

Sometimes we use service providers to help us run aspects of our business efficiently, such as couriers and computer database managers. To the extent that these service providers gain access to the personal information of customers, they are covered by strict privacy rules that prevent them from keeping this information for themselves or using this information for any other purposes.

Security:

Virgin Atlantic endeavours to take all reasonable steps to keep any information we hold about our customers secure. We store this information on secure servers that are protected in access-controlled facilities. We train our staff and require our data operators to respect the privacy and confidentiality of customer information.  Unfortunately, we can't give you an absolute guarantee that customer information is always secure. For example, no data sent over the internet is 100% secure. While we do our best, we can't be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.
