Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9th March 2026

Introduction

Pedal Taiwan is committed to updating privacy policies to meet GDPR and relevant legislation standards. The company has appointed a Privacy Officer to ensure personal information is collected, used, and disclosed according to this Privacy Policy. The policy may be updated periodically, and users are responsible for reviewing changes.

Information Collected

Pedal Taiwan collects personal information including:

  • Name, date of birth, gender, postal address, telephone number, email, passport details, medical information, and travel insurance details
  • Product and service purchase details and inquiries
  • Additional information from phone calls, websites, surveys, and representatives

"Sensitive information" such as health or religious data is collected only with consent to provide services or meet customer needs.

Website visitors provide non-personal data including pages visited, IP addresses, browser type, language, and visit dates/times. Cookies collect some of this information.

Video and images of travelers may be used in brochures, advertising, and websites unless participants notify the company otherwise at [email protected].

Collection Methods

Personal information is collected when users request information, make bookings, register for competitions, subscribe to newsletters, use websites, connect via social media, or speak with consultants.

Third parties providing information include:

  • People making bookings on behalf of others
  • Market research companies
  • Related overseas entities
  • Service partners
  • Insurers and medical staff in emergencies

Use of Information

Pedal Taiwan collects information to perform business activities and provide quality customer service, including:

  • Administering tour bookings
  • Processing advance passenger data for travel
  • Managing relationships and handling complaints
  • Emergency contact
  • Research and analysis for better customer experience
  • Identifying services of interest and sending newsletters
  • Providing information to insurers and medical staff
  • Website improvements
  • Fraud identification and regulatory compliance

Email addresses provided during incomplete online bookings are retained for future assistance and follow-up emails. Users receive options to decline further contact.

Personal information is retained only as long as necessary for collection purposes. Users may need to re-enter information if not using services for extended periods.

Information Disclosure

Pedal Taiwan does not disclose personal information without consent unless reasonably believed that disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a threat to life, health or safety, or is required by law.

The company may disclose information to:

  • Related Pedal Taiwan entities for products, services, research, and marketing
  • Employees, contractors, and third-party service providers (airlines, tour companies, travel agencies, web hosts, IT administrators, payment processors, couriers, debt collectors, professional advisors)
  • External parties for research and identifying services of interest
  • Aggregated non-personal information to travel industry partners
  • Government authorities for immigration, border control, security, and anti-terrorism purposes
  • Travel providers selected by customers for booking completion

The company provides no control over how travel providers use, disclose or store personal information and acts solely as your agent and not as the principal holder.

Trans-Border Data Flows

By providing personal information, users consent to disclosure to overseas entities and third-party recipients. The company discloses information to overseas recipients for services and administrative support.

We will not be required to ensure that third party overseas recipients comply with UK privacy laws or otherwise be liable or accountable for how the recipient handles your personal information.

The company works with numerous global service providers, making it impossible to list all countries receiving information. Users can contact the company regarding specific disclosure questions.

Companies registered in the United States may be required to provide information under the USA PATRIOT Act H.R. 3162.

Security

Pedal Taiwan implements physical, electronic, and managerial security procedures to protect information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.

Credit Card Security

  • All online payments use secure socket layer (SSL) connections
  • Credit card information transmits immediately to payment gateways via encrypted ports
  • Pedal Taiwan does not store your credit card number in any of our systems
  • Credit cards receive identification numbers as transaction proof
  • Personal information is destroyed or de-identified when no longer needed

Any personal information or other information you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk since the internet is inherently insecure.

User Preferences

Users can deal anonymously with Pedal Taiwan when reasonably possible. Users may decline providing personal information or refuse cookies, though some features may not function properly.

Declining information may result in inability to provide services, deliver promotional information, or tailor website content.

Access and Correction

Users can inquire about personal information by contacting the Privacy Officer. The company requires identity verification before disclosure. Requests typically process within 10 business days.

Users can request updates to inaccurate or outdated information. There is no fee to make an enquiry or request in relation to your information, or for us to add to, correct or update our records.

The company may refuse access if it would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality.

Marketing and Privacy

Pedal Taiwan uses personal information to identify products potentially of interest, communicating via email, phone, or postal address. Users can opt out of email by clicking unsubscribe links or contact the company to decline phone and postal updates.

We comply with the Spam Act 2003 and do not share, sell or rent information to any third parties for the purposes of direct marketing.
