Introduction

NC Squared is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website users, users of our Booking Engine and Distribution Engine software, and the personnel of our customers, prospective customers and suppliers.

For users of our Booking Engine software, this policy should be read alongside our supplemental privacy policy for Booking Engine, available here: https://nc-squared.com/booking-engine/privacy-policy
