Privacy Policy
The security of your personal information is of utmost importance to us. Below we will set out the Privacy Policy of Iglu.com Limited. As well as Planet Cruise, we operate under the names of Iglu Cruise, Iglu Ski and Iglu Lapland. For any data that we obtain from you, Iglu.com Limited is the data controller the purposes of appropriate data protection laws.
Below we outline what data we use, how is used and what choices and rights you have in respect to the data that is held.
We are acting in compliance with current data protection laws in the UK and the EU. Future changes to our Privacy Policy will be published on this page.
Enquiring about a holiday
If enquiring for information or a quote – you are able to contact us via the telephone or by completing a form online. In doing so we will ask for some simple contact details (phone number, email and name) as well as record details of your general or specific requirements.
Our team will then use this information to help find you a holiday and communicate options to you. You may ask for our team to stop providing details of holidays or offers tailored to your requirements at any point.
Booking a holiday
In proceeding to book a holiday, the information that we will require may vary depending on a number of factors. These are:
- Whether we are acting as your travel agent or holiday operator.
- Who is providing individual travel services.
We must pass on the information required by those fulfilling your travel services. We will only pass on information relevant to the service. We will work with any suppliers to ensure that any data passed to them is adequately protected and adheres to the levels of privacy and data security practised by us. In all such cases, the supplier of travel services is a Joint Controller of your data and such data is processed in accordance with their individual privacy policies and notices. These are available to view on their own websites or are available on request by contacting Iglu.com Ltd’s Data Protection Officer using the details below.
In all cases we will record and securely store:
- Names of passengers
- Dates of birth
- Contact details such as email address, phone number, and address
- Along with details of the holiday booked, any information that we may need to note for the fulfilment of your holiday as well as details of any communication that we may have with you or your travel service providers.
In some instances we will also need:
- Passenger information, such as passport details, details of insurance policies held and next of kin contacts.
- Any details that you require us to record to ensure that your needs are met. These can include dietary requirements (which we understand, in some cases, may give indication of your religion or ethnic origin) and medical needs (which provide indication of matters of your health). It is essential that your requirements in respect to these special categories of data are passed to travel providers only where appropriate and essential to do so, therefore ensuring the fulfilment of your holiday in accordance with your requirements. Such details will only be collected on the basis of your consent but could be essential for the smooth running of your holiday.
Card data storage
In all instances, we must store the lliast four digits of a payment card number and an authorisation token. This allows us to offer our customers certain services, primarily the ability to book a holiday with a low deposit. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal customer information and card data. We also follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Customer accounts
When you register for a customer account, you will be asked to provide the following details:
- Your email address
- First and last name
Bookings or enquiries may be linked to your account. Furthermore, you will be able to build a ‘shortlist’ of holidays. Any details provided in the enquiry or booking process, (see above) may be saved to your customer account so that you are easily able to access, correct and use this data when making further bookings or enquiries. This may include the details of people in your travelling party, who will have provided you with such details with their permission.
In addition, we may personalise your website experience based on:
- How you interact with our website when logged in to your account
- Your shortlisted holidays
- Your previous enquiries
- Your previously booked holidays
You may deactivate your customer account at any time. This will result in the deletion of some, but not all, personal information. Data required to fulfil an upcoming holiday or relating to previous travel will be retained, though will no longer be linked to an associated account.

We work with both TrustPilot and Feefo.

This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our services as well as provide you with an opportunity to quickly and easily provide feedback which we can then act upon as necessary. Your feedback is published on the appropriate third party site. In each instance, we will be provided with details of who has left feedback, though you will have the option to publish your feedback anonymously so that you cannot be publicly identified. We reserve the right to reply to reviews publicly, taking care not to communicate any personal information from which you could be personally identified.

- Carry out assessments of our communications with customers and third parties as part of a programme of continual improvement
- Refer back to the content of a call in the case of dispute
Future Marketing
We will only contact you with offers, promotions or details of available products and services under the following circumstances.
- You have provided us with explicit consent to do so.
- You have an active enquiry with us (see ‘Enquiring about a holiday’).
- You have booked a holiday with us in recent times and we wish to share with you offers for holidays that may similarly interest you.
We will use securely held contact information and details of previous activity including that collected digitally (see below and 'Customer Accounts' above) when you have visited our websites.
We may also collect details of how you use any marketing emails that we may send, including whether you open our emails and what actions you take once you have. Such information may be used to determine the marketing messages that you may see.
We assure you that you will always be able to ask us to stop marketing to you at which point any and all direct marketing will cease (with the exception of any campaigns that are currently in the pipeline for despatch – for example direct mailings already submitted for fulfilment). All marketing emails issued by our business will include an ‘unsubscribe’ link.
Iglu.com Limited do not sell, trade or rent your personal details to third parties unconnected to your holiday. Details are provided to suppliers (E.g. P&O Cruises) connected to your holiday for the purposes of the fulfilment of your holiday only.
