Privacy Policy
We, The Black Sheep Agency, treat the protection of all of our travelers’ privacy very seriously.
We are a specialist tour operator with a focus on quality, who has developed a business based on the trust built between us and our travelers. This trust is vital when arranging holidays for people to some of the most remote corners of the earth, but it’s also very simply about understanding that we protect the privacy of anyone who books with us.
This policy explains the basis on which the personal data you provide us, or that we collect from you, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully so you have a full understanding of how we will treat your personal data, and please ask if anything isn’t clear.
