When booking through that site, after selecting route, dates, times &c, while proceeding to checkout, a "personal details" screen appears which asks for name, country and postal code. WHY?
From the privacy policy:And the buyer is supposed to guess that?

As per every other website. How many times have you purchased something online and ticked to say you agree to XYZ without reading those policies in full?All is fine and clear if before buying tickets I spend some time reading privacy policies, modern slavery statements &c.
Bizarre. Good luck buying tickets elsewhere that doesn't require the same information....I see. All is fine and clear if before buying tickets I spend some time reading privacy policies, modern slavery statements &c. Instead I'll go and buy tickets elsewhere.
Yes it could be clearer who's name it wants. But the reason they want the information is clearly shown at the top of the privacy notice which is the obvious place to look. Throwing a strop and flouncing off isn't a very constructive way of suggesting improvements though.The seller should clearly differentiate between the payer's and recipient's data. If you book an air ticket you are asked for passenger's name first and payer's details later. And it is made very clear whose name the airline wants at each step.
Where will you buy from that doesn't ask for this information?I see. All is fine and clear if before buying tickets I spend some time reading privacy policies, modern slavery statements &c. Instead I'll go and buy tickets elsewhere.
TVM, dressed in an invisibility cloak to avoid the CCTV and prepared with coins and notes, perhaps.Where will you buy from that doesn't ask for this information?
The notes could be checked for fingerprints...!TVM, dressed in an invisibility cloak to avoid the CCTV and prepared with coins and notes, perhaps.
