Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 April 2026

1. Who We Are

Global Bus Hire ("we", "us", "our") is a group transport booking service connecting customers with local bus, coach, and minibus operators worldwide. Our registered trading address is available on request by emailing info@globalbushire.com.

2. What Data We Collect

When you request a quote or contact us, we collect:

• Name, email address, and telephone number
• Pickup and destination locations
• Travel date and passenger count
• Any additional details you provide in a message

We also collect basic analytics data (page views, browser type, country) through our hosting provider. This data is not linked to individual identities.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To prepare and send you a quote for group transport
• To communicate about your booking or enquiry
• To share necessary details with the relevant local operator to fulfil your booking
• To improve our service based on aggregated analytics

We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not use your data for unsolicited marketing without your consent.

4. Legal Basis (GDPR)

We process your data under two legal bases:

• Contract performance — processing your quote request and fulfilling your booking
• Legitimate interests — improving our service and preventing fraud

5. Data Retention

Quote enquiries that do not result in a booking are deleted after 12 months. Booking records are retained for 6 years for accounting and legal compliance. You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing info@globalbushire.com.

6. Third-Party Operators

To fulfil your booking, we share your travel details (name, phone, route, date) with the local operator responsible for your journey. These operators are contractually bound to process your data only for the purpose of providing the transport service.

7. Cookies

This site uses only essential cookies required for the site to function (session handling, form security tokens). No advertising or tracking cookies are set. No cookie consent banner is required under this configuration.

8. Your Rights

Under GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing
