OBS d.o.o. Privacy Statement
What is personal data and how do we collect it?
Personal data is information that can be used for your identification. This information is, for example, your name, address, postal code, date of birth and gender, IP address, phone number or your e-mail address, payment information ...
Information that is not directly related to your actual identity (such as favourite websites or number of website users) does not fall into this category.
We collect personal data on enquiries and booking of tourism services through the call centre, website, application, online chat, when you pay for services, as well as when you participate in prize games or subscribe to Newsletter. We also collect personal data every time you visit our website.
The following categories of personal data are collected in particular:
- first name and last name, home address, e-mail address, phone number, age and gender, information whether the booking is made as a family, individual, couple or friends, travel documents data (identification number, nationality, expiration date and country of issue) if required, information on the means of payment and any other payment information, if necessary;
- history of travels and information on possible additional services, such as insurances, parking lots etc.;
- information on the use of our website or application;
- messages that you exchange with us, or send us via SMS, emails, chat rooms, phone calls and social media.
Why do we need your personal data and how long do we keep it?
Your data can be used for the following purposes:
- provision of contractual travel services: the data we receive from you is used to provide tourism services related to your trip;
- communication purposes related to travel changes or provision of help on the road; these messages are not intended for marketing and cannot be turned off;
- verifying or authorising payments with credit and other payment cards: we use payment information for accounting, clearance and audit purposes, and for the detection and prevention of fraudulent acts;
- administrative or legal purposes: data is used for statistical and market analysis, system testing, customer surveys, quality control, maintenance and development, or resolving disputes or claims;
- security, health, administrative measures, crime prevention or detection: your data can be provided to the state or executive bodies in order to comply with legal requirements;
- communication with customers: we use data to strengthen customer relations and to improve our services or user experience;
- marketing: we will regularly inform you of our special offers via email and periodically via regular mail or phone. In each message, you will have the option to reject to refuse such messages in the future. Refusal is extremely easy either by clicking on the link in each email, return message or phone call, and is entirely free of charge for you.
Your personal data is processed solely on the legal basis for processing. The legal basis depends on the purpose in accordance with which we obtained the data. We obtained your data either as a customer or as a subscription to Newsletter, or upon acceptance of voucher or participation in a prize game.
In most cases, your personal data is processed to fill out your travel contract.
Personal data can also be processed for:
- fulfilment of the legal obligation;
- your personal consent for notifications about our offers (participation in prize games or subscription to E-news);
- protection of your vital interests or interests of another person in an emergency;
- in accordance with legitimate interests of the agency (notification of the agency's offers statistical and market analysis, system testing, customer surveys, quality control, maintenance and development, or resolving disputes or claims).
We will not keep your data longer than necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it is processed. To determine the appropriate retention period, we take into account the extent, nature and sensitivity of personal data, purposes for which the data is processed, and whether these purposes can be achieved by other means.
When determining the retention period, legally prescribed time limits must also be considered, such as the Value Added Tax Act, general limitation period, and time limit for handling complaints.
When we will no longer need your personal data, we will safely delete or destroy it.
To whom do we provide your personal data?
Your personal data may be provided to the following third parties for the purposes described in this policy:
- tourism service providers, such as hoteliers, travel organisers, ski lift for issuing ski passes, providers for the rental of equipment or vehicles, carriers, guides etc.;
- the GDS (Global Distribution System) booking system through which we book tourism services (air services, hotels, rent-a-car, transfers, excursions etc.);
- insurance companies - providers of travel insurance for travel cancellation, accident insurance or health insurance with assistance for which you have decided upon or after the booking (e.g. Triglav, Grawe, Coris, Europäische ...);

To learn more about these procedures, see the Privacy Policy of these third-party social media providers.
The agency offers tourism services around the world, which makes it necessary, from time to time, to send personal data to third parties under the first indent also outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to implement the travel contract. Since the protection of personal data is not as high as in the EEA, we require all service providers to process the data safely and in accordance with the data protection laws of the Republic of Slovenia and the EU.
In order to ensure the legality of data transmission outside the EEA, we use standard means of data protection outside the EEA.
We expressly declare that we do not sell any data, especially personal data, to third parties.
How do we protect your data?
When storing and disclosing your personal data, we follow strict security procedures and protect it against accidental loss, destruction or damage. All websites of OBS d.o.o. or website using OBS d.o.o. technology, and in particular the data you provide to us, is protected by the SSL (Secure Socket Layer). SSL is a standard industrial method for the encryption of personal data and credit card information so that it can be safely transmitted over the internet.
Payment information is transmitted via SSL through dedicated network infrastructure (MPLS).
Regarding data protection relating to your credit card, we would like to expressly warn you that upon online payments, this information should be entered exclusively in dedicated booking form fields. Safe handling of your data can only be provided if you also comply with the intended input method.

- request the deletion of your personal data when there is no reason for further processing, or when you exercise your right to object to further processing;
- object to further processing of personal data where we rely on a legitimate interest (even in the case of a legitimate interest of a third party) when there are reasons relating to your particular situation; irrespective of the provision of the preceding sentence, you have the right to object at any time if we process your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing;
- request limiting the processing of your personal data, which allows you to stop the procession of your personal data, for example, if you want us to determine its accuracy or check the reasons for its further processing;
- request the transfer of your personal data in a structured electronic form to another controller;
- revoke the consent or agreement you have given for the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose; after receiving a notice that you have withdrawn your consent, we will stop processing your personal data for the purposes you initially accepted, unless we have another legitimate legal basis for doing so legally.
To claim any of the rights mentioned above, please send an application by e-mail to cs@mountvacation.com or by regular mail to OBS d. o. o., Letališka cesta 29, 1000 Ljubljana.
You do not have to pay a fee for accessing your personal data or exercising any other right. However, a reasonable fee may be charged if your request for access is manifestly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, in such circumstances, we refuse to fulfil the request.
In case of exercising the rights under this title, we may need to ask you for certain information that will help us to confirm your identity, which is only a security measure that ensures non-disclosure of personal data to unauthorised persons.
