GoRiverCruise is committed to ensuring the protection of all data that we process as part of our operations, and we recognise the importance of protecting your privacy. This document outlines key information that you should know about GoRiverCruise and the way we use the data that you provide to us.
GoRiverCruise is the place to enquire about ocean and river cruises. Your enquiries go straight to GoCruise experts who will contact you regarding your enquiry by telephone or email.
In order for GoRiverCruise to facilitate your booking, we require the following personal information about you:
We are also obligated to obtain information that could reveal your race or ethnicity - such as nationality - and personal data of a special category such as health and medical information where necessary.
We request the name and phone number of an emergency contact and their relationship to you. We realise that your emergency contact may not have heard of GoCruise or Choosing Cruising previously, and so we ask you to inform them that you will be sharing their information with us. If they have any queries they can contact us using the details we have provided in this Notice.
You are required to provide the listed personal information to us before we can confirm your booking. If you do not provide us with this information then you will not be able to book your holiday.
For enquiries, we can collect less information, which will include name and contact details as a minimum.
We process your data for a variety of purposes. As a Travel provider, we process your personal data to facilitate the booking and provisioning of your holiday and we have outlined these purposes in the table below. It will be beneficial for you to review the privacy notices of the third parties we book you with to understand how they will process your data. We always process personal data with a legal basis and the table below demonstrates our intended purposes and the legal basis we use to process your data.
In order for us to deliver our services to you, we have to transfer your information to third parties. The list below provides information on the types of third parties that we share information with. It is challenging to name specifically all of the third parties that we will transfer data to and so we have provided categories of recipients for you instead.
We book travel and holiday arrangements for destinations across the world. When liaising with a travel or accommodation provider within Europe, the EEA, and countries on the European Commission’s data protection ‘adequacy’ list, we use the countries’ own data protection regulation as the safeguard for your data over and above the technical and organisational measures we have put in place to secure your data when transferring to them. For recipients outside of this list, we use either our standard contractual clauses with a provider where applicable, or, the fulfilment of our contract with you as the appropriate safeguard.
We will never sell your data to any third party.
We retain your personal data for only as long as it is necessary for the uses set out in this Privacy Notice and/or to meet legal, regulatory, and financial reporting requirements.
This includes the data relating to your booking for a minimum of 3 years, which is a requirement for legal purposes.
Information relating to the monetary value of your booking will be retained for a minimum of 6 years from the date of the transaction, in order to comply with statutory financial reporting requirements.
We retain your contact details until such time where you no longer wish to be contacted by GoCruise.
These retention periods are not inclusive of how long the recipients of your personal information may retain your data.
We are always happy to fulfil any one of your rights wherever possible. Your rights with respect to the personal data that we process on you are:
You can invoke any of your rights at any time using the contact details listed in this Notice, subject to us having to keep the data for legitimate business or legal reasons. Please be aware that we can ask for identification documents to confirm we are disclosing information to the correct person. If you elect a representative to invoke these rights on your behalf, we will request that the representative can demonstrate they have the authority to act on your behalf and their identity.
We do not conduct any automated decision making or profiling when you make a booking with us.
