About Us
Travelife is a web-based certification system which allows accommodation providers to monitor and self-assess their sustainability performance. The system and its criteria have been developed through a multi-stakeholder consultation process involving tour operators, hoteliers, trade associations, Non-Governmental Organisations, audit firms and academia. Launched in 2007, it is now recognised within the travel and tourism industry as one of the most comprehensive and credible tools. The fact that it is operated by the tourism industry and its close relationship with tour operators, hotel groups, destinations and trade associations guarantees a fair pricing and industry oversight.
Travelife Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABTA, the UK trade associations. It is supported by major European trade associations and tour operators like Thomas Cook, TUI and Kuoni.
We believe tourism can enhance the lives of local communities and their environment which is why sustainability of destinations is the core to our vision.
PRIVACY POLICY
Travelife Limited (company registration number 03290532 whose registered office is at 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ (“Travelife” / “we” / “us” / “our”) treats the handling of personal data seriously. The Privacy Policy below details how data collected about you by Travelife through your use of this website (www.travelife.org; www.travelifecollection.com) (“the Website”), and by other means, is used by Travelife. Travelife assures that it will only use your data as specified here and for its legitimate business reasons. Please read this Privacy Policy through carefully to ensure you understand how we will treat your personal data.
Collection and use of data
1. Unless otherwise provided in the Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions of Use, Travelife will not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your express written consent. Travelife will only pass your data to other third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms and Conditions of Use, or any other terms and conditions you agree to, or if required to do so by law. Travelife may disclose your data to certain permitted third parties, such as third party service providers, Travelife’s own professional advisers who are bound by confidentiality codes and when Travelife is legally obliged to disclose your data.
2. For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998 (“DPA”), the data controller is Travelife Limited, unless otherwise confirmed in writing to you at the time your data is collected by Travelife.
3. Travelife can obtain personal data from you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, email and payment details) from a number of different sources:
i. When you supply us with your details when discussing matters over the telephone with us, or if you submit a request for details to be provided to you by mail or email, or via the Website.
ii. Via your individual IP location. This is a function of the Website that enables Travelife to assess session information relating to the use of the Website, such as the duration of the visit, your IP address, operating system and the type of browser used, as well as for system administration and report on statistical use of the Website. Such information is only used for Travelife to evaluate use of the Website, as well as for Travelife to diagnose problems with its server and to administer the Website.
iii. Through ‘Cookies’ (which are stored on the hard drive of your computer), if these are integrated into the Website operation, to enable users to access areas on the Website and to give access to areas of the website and to be able to identify the users correctly. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, please note that if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of the Website.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
6. We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to other marketing companies or advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregate information about our users (for example, we may inform them that 500 men aged under 30 clicked on an advertisement on the Website on any given day). We may also use such aggregated information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, men in SW1).
7. We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006. We may disclose your personal information to third parties in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets (in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets).
8. You have the right to ask Travelife not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. You also have the right to access information held about you by Travelife. Your right to access can be exercised in accordance with the DPA, as amended from time to time, and any access request may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet Travelife’s costs in providing you with details on the personal data we hold about you.
