Fred. Olsen Travel is committed to protecting the privacy of everybody that books with us. This Privacy Notice is our way of being transparent to you on how we use your personal data when you enquire and book with us and demonstrates our fair processing practices.
In order for us 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 Fred. Olsen Travel 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 fail to 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 are proud to have a wide network of Travel Partners. If you have concerns that we may have received your information in error or would like to find out where we have received your information from, please contact us using the details in this Notice.
We process your data for a variety of purposes. As a Travel Agent, 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 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 Fred. Olsen Travel.
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.
Data Protection and COVID-19
This is an addendum to Fred. Olsen Travel privacy notice. It explains how Fred. Olsen Travel (as Data Controller) may use your personal data, specifically in relation to the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic and to support the NHS Test& Trace scheme in England and NHS Scotland’s Test and Protect service.
To operate safely and effectively, we may need to ask you for sensitive personal information that you have not already supplied, or use data you have already provided, including whether you have any underlying illnesses or are what is classed as vulnerable.
If we already hold information regarding vulnerability, we may share this for vital health reasons, emergency planning purposes and to protect your vital interests by sharing with services both inside and outside Fred. Olsen Travel.
Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Some of your personal data is classed as 'special category personal data' because this information is more sensitive e.g. health information, ethnicity and religion etc.
We may share your information with other public authorities, emergency services, and other stakeholders as necessary, and only when necessary, in a proportionate and secure manner. Contact with you to obtain consent before sharing will not be required for all the reasons described in this notice. Please be assured that protection of personal data remains a priority at this time after the health and safety of everyone.
We will only share your personal information where the law allows, and we always aim to share the minimum data necessary to achieve the purpose required. Further, the information will only be used for the purposes listed and retained for limited specific times.
Data protection laws allow us to share information for a wide variety of reasons. These are known as our 'legal bases to process data'.
