Data Collection and Transparency:

• Be clear about what data you collect from customers (names, emails, travel details, etc.).
• During the booking process, obtain explicit consent from users for collecting their data.
• Provide a clear and easily accessible Privacy Policy explaining how their information is used, stored, and protected.

Lawful Basis and User Rights:

• Implement procedures for users to exercise their GDPR rights:
  • Right to access their personal data.
  • Right to rectification (correction of inaccurate data).
  • Right to erasure (data deletion upon request).
  • Right to restrict processing (limit data usage).
  • Right to data portability (transfer of data in a machine-readable format).

Data Security and Breach Notification:

• Implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect user data from unauthorized access, loss, or damage.
• In the case of a data breach, notify the relevant authorities and impacted users within GDPR’s stipulated timeframe.

Here are some steps you can take to ensure GDPR compliance:
