Security

The online booking tools of our third-party providers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to guarantee the safety of all online booking transactions. SSL encryption is automatically activated whenever a user sends us confidential information over the Internet. Within Hunter Travel Group's online booking tools, there are two ways to transmit credit card information to the booking: either the user enters their details during the booking process, or if the user has an existing profile, the information is directly transferred from our profile database into the booking, completely avoiding the Internet.
