We provide digital marketing and web services to tourism businesses: OTA listing management, listing audits, Google Business Profile optimisation, SEO/GEO, websites with a booking engine, and marketing photos.
This policy explains how we handle personal data of:
We are not an online travel agency and we do not sell tours. If you booked a tour through GetYourGuide, Viator, Klook or another platform, that platform and the tour operator are responsible for your data; please contact them first.
| Data | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Name, role, business name, email, phone, WhatsApp or LINE ID, address, business and tax registration numbers, tourism licence details | Onboarding, delivering the services, invoicing, tax and accounting records | Contract; legal obligation (Dutch tax law, DAC7 where applicable) |
| Messages and call notes with you (email, WhatsApp, LINE) | Running the engagement, keeping track of instructions and approvals | Contract; legitimate interest (record of agreed work) |
| Login invitations you send us to your OTA, Google or hosting accounts | Doing the work you asked for inside your accounts | Contract |
| Prospect contact details (name, business, phone, LINE or WhatsApp, email) found through public listings, platforms, referrals or your own enquiry | Contacting you about our services, following up on your interest | Legitimate interest (B2B marketing); you can object at any time and we stop |
| Bank details on your invoices to us, our payment records | Payments and bookkeeping | Contract; legal obligation |
We do not run automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects on you.
| Data | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Contact form and enquiry details (name, business, email, phone, message) | Answering you and following up | Pre-contractual steps; legitimate interest |
| Technical data (IP address, browser, device, pages visited, referrer) collected by hosting and analytics | Keeping the site secure and understanding how it is used | Legitimate interest (security); consent for analytics cookies where required |
| Cookies and similar technologies | See section 10 | Consent, except strictly necessary cookies |
While managing a client's OTA listings, Google Business Profile or website analytics we may see traveller names, booking details, messages and reviews. We use this data only to perform the service for that client (for example to update a listing, answer a content query or report booking numbers to the client). We do not copy it out of the platform unless the service requires it, we do not use it for our own marketing, and we do not share it with other clients or third parties. Any request from a traveller about this data is handled by the client (the tour operator) and the platform.
When you book through a website we built, the booking data (name, email, phone, nationality where required, pick-up details, payment via the payment provider) is processed by AppaSP as booking and payment agent and shared with the tour operator delivering your service. The privacy policy published on that website explains this in full, including the operator's own use of your data and how to opt out of its marketing.
We share personal data only where needed to run our business and deliver the services:
We never sell personal data, and we never share one client's data or prospects with another client.
We are based in the Netherlands and work with clients mainly in Thailand and elsewhere in Asia. Your business contact data therefore moves between the EU and your country as a necessary part of our contract with you (GDPR Article 49(1)(b)). Where our providers process data outside the EU (for example in the United States), we rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, or on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. Traveller data we access inside a client's platform account stays on that platform; we do not move it.
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Client contract, invoicing and tax records | 7 years after the financial year concerned (Dutch fiscal retention duty) |
| Client correspondence and account access records | Duration of the engagement plus 3 years, for evidence of instructions and approvals |
| Prospect contact details | Until you object or 2 years after our last contact, whichever comes first |
| Website enquiries | 1 year after we last replied |
| Analytics data | Per the analytics provider's setting, at most 26 months |
| Traveller data seen inside client accounts | Not stored by us; any working copies are deleted at the end of the task or the engagement |
We use two-factor authentication on our own accounts, work inside client platforms only through named user access, keep client data in access-controlled business tools, and bind freelancers to confidentiality. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; if a personal data breach affecting you occurs we will inform you and, where required, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) without undue delay.
Under the GDPR you may ask us to access, correct, delete or restrict your personal data, to receive it in a portable format, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interest, including B2B marketing, at any time. Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it, without affecting earlier processing. Email us at contact@ttcdigitalagency.com; we reply within one month. You may also complain to the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl) or your local supervisory authority. Clients in Thailand have comparable rights under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which we honour in the same way.
If you are a traveller and your request concerns a booking with a tour operator, we will forward your request to that operator or platform, since they control that data.
Our websites use strictly necessary cookies to function and, with your consent, analytics cookies (Google Analytics) to understand how the site is used. You can accept or refuse non-essential cookies in the banner and change your choice at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer. Details are in our Cookie Policy.
We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The effective date at the top shows the current version. For material changes affecting clients we send an email notice.
