Your personal information may be disclosed to or directly accessed by third parties, such as credit card processing companies, certain foreign government agencies, external travel agents and suppliers, airlines, hotels, tour operators, caterers and travel insurers etc., where it is reasonably necessary for us to provide our business services to you.

Your sensitive information may be collected, held, used and disclosed where there is a legal requirement to do so, or where we are permitted to do so by law.  If otherwise, we will specifically seek your consent prior to any collection, use or disclosure.
