Personal information we collect about you

You can browse our websites without disclosing any information about yourself.

By entering your details in any fields requested, such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone or mobile number, or date of birth, you enable TfL and its subsidiaries to provide you with the service(s) you select, the information that you have asked for, or to resolve a query or complaint you have made.

How we use your personal information

When we collect information from you, we will tell you if we would like to send you information about our products and services or transport-related issues.

We will give you the opportunity to opt out.

If we wish to share your data with third parties for marketing purposes, we will tell you about this and only do so if we get your consent.

We will give you the opportunity to opt in.

We may disclose your personal data to our subsidiaries, train operating companies which accept Oyster for travel on their services and our service providers.

These service providers may include train companies providing services on the DLR and London Overground, bus companies and those that administer the Congestion Charge and provide ticketing and information services.

TfL may also share your personal information with the police and other law enforcement agencies for the purposes of crime prevention or detection.
