Prospective purchasers, investors or advisers in connection with a corporate transaction
Other parties where disclosure is necessary to provide the requested service or protect a lawful interest

The fact that information has been disclosed does not mean that the recipient acts on behalf of Galleria Tours. Independent suppliers may process information according to their own legal obligations and privacy policies.

9. International Processing

Travel arrangements frequently require information to be transferred outside the United Arab Emirates, including to countries whose data-protection standards may differ from those of the UAE.

By requesting an international service, you acknowledge that relevant information may need to be provided to suppliers, authorities and service providers in the destination, transit country or supplier location.

Where required by applicable law, Galleria Tours will use reasonable measures intended to support lawful international transfers. However, the Company cannot control the security systems or legal obligations of independent recipients, government authorities or travel suppliers.

10. Data Accuracy

You are responsible for ensuring that information provided to Galleria Tours is accurate, complete and current.

The Company is not responsible for consequences arising from information that is inaccurate, incomplete, fraudulent, outdated or submitted without authority, except to the extent such responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

You must notify us promptly if information relevant to an enquiry, booking, payment or travel arrangement changes.

11. Data Retention

Galleria Tours may retain personal data for as long as reasonably required to:

 

  • Provide and administer services

  • Maintain commercial and transaction records

  • Comply with legal, tax and accounting obligations

  • Respond to enquiries or complaints

  • Manage supplier or customer disputes

  • Prevent fraud

  • Enforce agreements

  • Establish or defend legal claims

  • Protect the Company’s legitimate business interests


Retention periods may vary according to the nature of the information, applicable contractual requirements and legal limitation periods.

Information may be retained for a longer period where a dispute, investigation, legal hold, unpaid balance, regulatory requirement or potential claim exists.
The Company may anonymise information instead of deleting it. Anonymised information that no longer identifies an individual may be retained and used for business analysis, statistical or operational purposes.

12. Security

Galleria Tours applies administrative, organisational and technical measures considered reasonable for the nature of the information processed.

However, no website, cloud system, email platform, mobile communication, electronic transfer or storage method is completely secure.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Galleria Tours does not guarantee that information will never be accessed, intercepted, lost, altered or disclosed without authorisation.

Users are responsible for:

 

  • Protecting their devices and accounts

  • Using secure networks

  • Verifying recipients before sending documents

  • Avoiding transmission of sensitive documents through unsecured channels

  • Informing the Company promptly of suspected fraud or unauthorised communications

  • Verifying payment instructions through an official Galleria Tours contact

13. Electronic Communications

Email, messaging and internet communications may be subject to delay, interception, corruption, loss or unauthorised access.

Galleria Tours is not responsible for loss resulting from reliance on fraudulent or altered communications where the recipient failed to take reasonable verification measures, except to the extent such responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

Official payment instructions should be independently verified before funds are transferred.

The Company may retain communications as evidence of instructions, approvals, bookings, amendments and contractual arrangements.

14. Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies, pixels, analytics technologies and comparable tools for:

 

  • Essential website operation

  • Security

  • Session management

  • Performance measurement

  • Visitor analysis

  • Preference storage

  • Marketing measurement

  • Service improvement

Where required, non-essential cookies will be activated subject to the visitor’s consent.

Users may manage cookies through the website consent tool or browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features.

Third-party analytics and social-media providers may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

15. Marketing and Business Communications

Galleria Tours may send marketing or commercial communications where:

 

  • Consent has been provided

  • There is an existing commercial relationship

  • The communication is reasonably relevant to a business contact

  • The communication is otherwise permitted by law

 

Recipients may request removal from promotional communications.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent the Company from sending booking confirmations, payment notices, service updates, security notices or other non-promotional communications

16. Children and Minors

Travel bookings may include minors. Information about a minor must be provided by a parent, legal guardian or appropriately authorised adult.

Galleria Tours may request evidence of authority where reasonably necessary.

The Company does not knowingly request information from children for independent marketing purposes.

Correction of inaccurate information

Updating of incomplete information

Deletion in circumstances recognised by law

Restriction or suspension of certain processing

Transfer of eligible information

Withdrawal of consent where consent is the applicable ground

Objection to certain processing

A request may be refused, restricted or delayed where permitted by law, including where necessary to protect another person’s rights, preserve legal privilege, comply with retention obligations, prevent fraud, protect security or manage legal claims.

Galleria Tours may require proof of identity, authority and sufficient details to locate the relevant records.

The Company may communicate with the contracting customer, agency, employer or lead traveller where that party controls or submitted the relevant information.
