Privacy Policy
Plain English Draft • Last Reviewed: 2026-07-23At Quick Holidays Ltd, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
1. What we collect and why
We collect identity documents (passport details, UK BRP cards or eVisa status), financial documents (bank statements, payslips), contact details (name, email, phone), and travel itineraries. We collect this information solely to assess your Schengen eligibility, compile your checklist, and prepare your visa application.
2. Legal basis (UK GDPR)
We process your data on the legal basis of performing our contract with you (preparing your visa file). Any special-category data (like health details or biometric booking details) is processed only with your explicit consent.
3. Storage and security
All personal data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Access is limited strictly to staff members actively working on your case file. Original physical documents are stored securely and returned immediately after review.
4. Data retention
Case files and document copies are securely stored for 24 months after a visa decision is returned. This retention period allows us to support you in follow-ups or subsequent applications, after which your documents are permanently deleted/destroyed.
5. Sharing third-parties
We share your documents only with the corresponding Schengen country embassy and their official outsourcing center (TLScontact or VFS Global), or the travel insurer issuing your medical certificate. We never sell your data or share it with third parties for marketing.
6. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. For requests, contact us at info@quickholidays.co.uk.
