Emails, telephone & SMS
We will email you when you make an enquiry through our website or via one of our booking partners, such as responsibletravel.com, to provide information in response to your initial enquiry and then as necessary through conclusion of the booking process, payment, and while you are on holiday/vacation with us. We will also send a follow-up email after your departure to provide you with access to photographs of your tour with us.
We very rarely make phone calls and would only telephone or SMS you if we have a specific query or need, eg. because you have requested us to or if we need to inform you of a logistical change to the itinerary while you are on holiday with us.
E-Newsletter
We like to keep in touch with our former guests and will use the follow-up email we send after your holiday to actively request your consent to receive our annual guest e-newsletter. We may also send 1-2 additional e-newsletters per year to suggest new travel ideas based on trips we have developed that we think will be relevant for you. You can easily unsubscribe from these e-newsletters at any time by either clicking on the unsubscribe link or by calling us on 020 3287 0015 or by sending an email to emma@undiscoveredbalkans.com.
If you are not a customer of Undiscovered Montenegro, you can register for our e-Newsletter via our website.
We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our e-newsletters. Mailchimp has certified to the EU-U.S Privacy Shield Framework, so that information held in the US, for example on computer servers, is treated with the same privacy protection as that in the EU.
Data retention
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity for which your data was originally obtained – for example, we automatically delete the personal data we are obliged to collect under local tourism law within two months of your departure.

This information is held on a very secure server and our firewalls are regularly updated and can only be accessed by Undiscovered Montenegro staff or our IT supplier. We will never sell or lease your personal details to anyone else. If you would like to update any of your details, check what details we have on our database, or withdraw consent, please email emma@undiscoveredbalkans.com
