4. Our Commitment to Discretion

Discretion is the foundation of our service. The personal information and journey details of our clients are treated with the highest level of confidentiality. All staff and chauffeurs are contractually bound to non-disclosure obligations that exceed the minimum requirements of data protection law.

We do not discuss our clients, their journeys, or their personal circumstances with any third party except where strictly required by law or to provide the service you have requested (for example, to coordinate with a flight operator or venue).

Non-disclosure agreements are available on request for clients who require a contractual confirmation of these obligations.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to provide the services you have requested and to comply with our legal obligations. For private members and corporate account holders, we retain account information for the duration of the account relationship and for seven years thereafter for accounting and legal purposes.

Enquiry information from individuals who do not become clients is retained for a maximum of 12 months and then deleted.

  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements
  • Object to certain uses of your personal information
  • Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
