Sensitive personal data

In the course of providing services to you, we may collect information that could reveal your racial or ethnic origin, physical or mental health, religious beliefs or alleged commission or conviction of criminal offences. Such information is considered “sensitive personal data” under the Regulation and relevant data protection laws. We only collect this information when you have given your explicit consent and it is necessary, or when you have manifestly made it public.

For example, we may collect this information in the following circumstances:

For your safety, when you have a specific medical condition, you will need to inform us of that and –where required – provide us with a medical certificate.

If you request special assistance during a voyage, this could reveal information about your health (for example if you ask for a wheelchair). If you inform us about specific dietary requirements you may have, this could potentially indicate that you have specific religious beliefs. Also, when you provide us with your travel document details, your nationality may imply your racial or ethnic origin.

By providing any sensitive personal data you explicitly agree that we may collect and use it in order to provide our services in accordance with this Data Protection Policy.

If you do not allow us to process any sensitive personal data, this means we may be unable to provide all or parts of the services you have requested from us.

3. HOW AND WHY WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To manage your travel bookings and provide our services to you
    When you are embarking on a voyage with us, we use your information to perform our services in relation to your voyage, for example to issue your tickets, check you in, issue your boarding pass, or take you safely to your destination. We also use it to change your travel bookings if you request such changes.
  • To communicate with you and manage our relationship with you
    Occasionally, we may need to contact you by email and/or SMS for administrative or operational reasons, for example in order to send you confirmation of your bookings and your payments, to inform you about your travel itinerary, to advise you of disruption and changes to your travels. If you are using our mobile apps, we may also send you app notifications for these purposes.
    Please be aware that these communications are not made for marketing purposes and as such, you will continue to receive them even if you opt-out from receiving marketing communications.

6. NOTIFICATION IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

In the unlikely event there is a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data (such as sending personal data to an incorrect recipient, or loss of availability of personal data), we are committed to taking an informed decision on whether to notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours and yourself in the event the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk or risk to your rights and freedoms, without undue delay.
