1. When do you apply this privacy statement?

This privacy statement applies to all personal data that we process and to all domains related to us. This concerns the personal data of everyone who has ever had contact with us or visited our website, such as visitors, customers and business contacts. Personal data is all data that can be traced back to you as an individual, such as your name, telephone number, IP address, customer number or surfing behavior. If you want to know more about personal data, please visit the website of the Dutch Data Protection Authority. 

2. Who uses your data?

Trips Albania is responsible for the website www.trips-albania.com and therefore the responsible organisation for the use of your personal data as described in this privacy statement. The full details are:

3. Whose data do we use?

We process the personal data of everyone who has had contact with us or visited our website. These include visitors, private customers, business customers and contact persons of our partners.

4. How do we get your data?

We receive the data directly from you as soon as you:

• visit our website 

• contact us by mail, telephone or other means 

5. What data of you do we use?

We use the following data:

• name 
• gender
• e-mail address
• telephone number
• age
• nationality

6. What do we use your data for?

We only use your personal data for the purpose for which we are allowed to use it:

• we have received your permission to use your personal data 

• we use your data because we want to give you the best service as a customer and we can do without it information

7. How long do we keep your data?

We keep your personal data for as long as we are required to do so by law and for as long as necessary for the purpose for which we use your data. For example, as long as you are a customer with us, we store your data according to the statutory retention period of seven years. After that, we only keep your data for statistical purposes and to handle any complaints or legal matters. If you want to know more about how long we store specific data about you, please contact us. 

8. Who do we share your data with?

We only process your personal data ourselves. We don't share your personal data with others. 

9. Where do we store your data?

We process your data within the  European Economic Area. This means that we also store your data within the EEA. In some cases, your personal data will be processed outside the EEA. Unfortunately, the rules in those countries do not always offer the same protection of personal data as in the EEA. That is why we have ensured that your personal data in that case is just as well protected as it is here. We have done this by making agreements with those who handle your data outside the EEA. This way your data remains safe. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact us. 

10. How safe is your data with us?

We have done a lot to protect your data as well as possible, both organizationally and technically. We have secured our systems and various means of communication to ensure that your data does not end up in the hands of others. Your data is therefore safe with us. We also ensure that your data is only used by people who have received permission from us. If you have any questions about the specific method of securing, please contact us. 

11. What are your rights?

Because we use your personal data, you have various rights. We have listed these rights for you below.

Right to information
We must explain to you in an understandable and clear manner what we do with your data and what control you have over it. That is why we explain in detail in this privacy statement what data we collect from you and how we handle your data. 

Right to access
You may always ask us to view the data we hold about you.

Right to correction
You may ask us to have your data corrected if it is incorrect or incomplete. 

Right to object
You may object to the processing of your data if you do not agree with the way we handle your personal data. This right applies to the data we use for direct marketing. You can indicate to us that you no longer wish to receive e-mails from us. This also applies to personalized recommendations on our website. 

Right to data portability
If you are a customer of ours or if you have given permission for the use of your data, you may ask us to send you the digital data we have about you. This way you can transfer that data to another organization if you wish. 

Right to restriction
You may ask to limit the use of your data. This means that in certain cases we may only store your data but not use it. 

Right to be forgotten
You may ask us to delete all data we have about you. We will then delete all data that can be traced back to you. In some cases we cannot or may not yet delete your data. For example, we have to keep some data for 7 years for the tax authorities. 

Right to submit a complaint
You may submit a complaint about the way in which we handle your data. If you have a complaint, we will be happy to resolve it for you. To do so, please contact  us. You may also submit your complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority. Of course we hope that it does not come to that, but if it's necessary you can also go to court. In that case, the court in the place of business of Trips Albania is the one which will handle your complaint. 

How do I submit a request or complaint?

You can submit your request or complaint to us by sending a mail to info@trips-albania.com. We process every request or complaint within 30 days. If you submit multiple applications or complaints or if you submit a complex request or complaint, this may take more time. In that case, we will contact you within 60 days at the latest. We may ask you to identify yourself. In that case, we will ask you to submit certain information to ensure that you are the correct person whose personal data is.

12. What rules apply to this privacy statement?

Our privacy statement must meet several conditions. These conditions can be found in particular in the GDPR Regulation.

13. Which cookies do we use?

You can indicate yourself what data we may use from you. If you have given us permission to personalize your profile based on your surfing and search behavior, we can set up our website specifically for you so that its use becomes easier and more personal. We do this using cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hardware when you visit our website.  

14. Service Providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Analytics

We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

• Google Analytics

  Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

  You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

16. What do we do with data of minors?

We do not target minors with our website or as an organization. This means that if you are under the age of 18, you need permission from a parent or guardian to use our website.
