Privacy Policy

How 71Asia Tours collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data — written in plain language and aligned with the EU GDPR and China's PIPL. Last updated: October 2026.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Group UNODEJULIO through its two brother companies: UNO DE JULIO VIAJES S.L. (“71Asia Tours”) and Let's Go International Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (“Letsgo-China”).

UNO DE JULIO VIAJES S.L. is the tour operator: the Spanish company that owns and runs this website, designs and sells the trips, concludes the contract with you and is responsible for the overall travel service. It is a travel agency duly registered in Madrid, Spain — Spanish travel licence C.I.C.MA 2884, tax ID (NIF) ESB86736014.

Letsgo-China is our local service provider in China: the licensed Chinese ground-operator agency that arranges the guides, drivers, tickets, hotels and every service actually delivered during your trip. It holds Chinese travel licence L-CQ-100970.

The two companies are brother companies, both part of Group UNODEJULIO — this is our real operating structure, not a network of middlemen. Thanks to it, more than 90% of the services we sell are supplied first-hand, by our own group team and directly contracted guides, drivers and partners. UNO DE JULIO VIAJES S.L. and Letsgo-China jointly act as the “data controllers” of the personal data described below, each for the processing it carries out. For any privacy question or request, write to [email protected] — a real person reads every message.

2. What personal data we collect

Data you give us when booking or using the site: your name, email address, phone number, country, and the names and details of the travellers in your party. For certain tickets and permits Chinese regulations require the traveller's passport number or ID details — we only ask for these when the supplier is legally obliged to have them, and we pass them only to the party that needs them.

Payment data: payments are processed by Stripe and, for Bokun-supplied products, through Bokun's secure checkout. We never see or store your full card details — only a payment reference and the outcome of the transaction.

Account data: if you create an account, we keep your login email, your preferences (language, currency) and your orders, bookings and reviews.

Partner and affiliate data: if you join us as an agency, affiliate or supplier, we keep your business details (company name, tax ID, address, bank details / IBAN) strictly to pay your commissions and issue invoices.

Content you publish: reviews, ratings, photos, blog comments and messages you send us through contact forms, WhatsApp, WeChat or email.

Data collected automatically: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referral source and approximate time zone — used to run and secure the site and to produce aggregate, anonymised statistics.

3. Why we use your data, and on what legal basis

We process personal data only for specific purposes: to create and manage your bookings and provide the travel services you purchased (contract); to answer your questions and provide customer support (contract); to run accounts, affiliate commissions and invoices (contract and legal obligation); to prevent fraud and keep the platform secure (legitimate interest); to send offers and travel inspiration only where you opted in, or where the law allows it for similar services you already booked, always with an unsubscribe link (consent / legitimate interest); and to comply with Spanish and Chinese tax, accounting and travel regulations (legal obligation).

Under China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) the same purposes apply, and we ask for your separate consent whenever PIPL requires it. We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal effects on you.

4. Who we share data with

We never sell your personal data. We share it only with the parties needed to run your trip and our business:

Our ground operator Letsgo-China and the local guides, drivers and suppliers it coordinates — the name and details required to deliver the tour, ticket or transfer you booked.

Bokun — our booking platform, which powers the secure checkout for Bokun-supplied products.

Stripe and other payment institutions — to process your payment and refunds.

Infrastructure providers — hosting, email delivery, security and anti-bot protection, all bound by confidentiality and data-processing agreements.

Public authorities — only where a law, court order or border/immigration requirement compels us.

5. International transfers

Because your trip is organised in Spain and operated on the ground in China, your data is necessarily processed by both brother companies of Group UNODEJULIO: in Spain and the European Economic Area (by UNO DE JULIO VIAJES S.L.) and in China (by Letsgo-China), as well as in other countries where our processors operate. Whenever data leaves the EEA we rely on an adequacy decision or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, and processing in China follows PIPL requirements. You can ask us for a copy of these safeguards by email.

6. Cookies and analytics

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep the site working, plus optional, consent-based analytics. Details, and a button to change your choice at any time, are on our Cookies Policy page.

7. How long we keep your data

Booking and travel documents are kept for as long as needed to deliver your services and then for the period required by Spanish tax and accounting law (invoices are retained for several years). Account data is kept while your account is active and removed after a reasonable period of inactivity or on your request. Analytics data is stored in aggregate form. Payment references follow the retention rules of Stripe and Bokun.

8. How we protect your data

All traffic to 71asia.com is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Card details never touch our servers. Access to personal data is limited to the team members and processors who need it — at the Spanish headquarters and at Letsgo-China alike — passwords are stored hashed, and we run anti-bot and fraud checks. No system is perfect, but if a breach ever affects your rights we will notify you and the competent authority without undue delay.

9. Your rights

You can ask us at any time to access your personal data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, obtain a portable copy, or withdraw your consent (for example for marketing). If you are a California resident you additionally have the right to know what we collect and to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” — we do not sell personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. Write to [email protected] and we will answer within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) or your local authority.

10. Children

Our services are aimed at adults. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16 except as part of a booking made by their parent or guardian. If you believe a child has given us data directly, contact us and we will delete it.

11. External services

Our checkout pages load Bokun's and Stripe's own systems, and our pages may embed maps or social content from third parties. When you interact with those services, their own privacy policies apply to what they collect.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our services or the law evolve. The “last updated” date at the top always shows the current version, and significant changes will be announced on the site or by email.
