Cookies will enable the personalization of your mobile messaging experience (e.g., sending you personalized text messages such as shopping cart or booking hold reminders).
9. Profiling and Automated Processing
   We may process your Personal Data to carry out profiling activities. This involves the use of cookies and other automated data-collection technologies to automatically evaluate certain personal aspects relating to you, such as your onboard purchases, voyage history, and previous behaviors or interests. This analysis helps us better understand your preferences and predict potential future interests, enabling us to offer cruise packages, onboard services, promotions, and experiences that are tailored to your travel preferences. By understanding what you enjoy, we can enhance your experience through more relevant and personalized offers and recommendations.
   Where required by applicable law, this processing is carried out only with your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
   For U.S. Sailors, we process Personal Data for these purposes based on our legitimate business interests. You have the right to opt out of this processing at any time, including profiling in furtherance of targeted advertising, as required by applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
   We do not make decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning you based solely on automated processing. Where automated processing is used to support our decisions, appropriate safeguards are in place, including meaningful human involvement where required by law.

We need to collect certain types of information for compliance with legal requirements relating to our customer identity verification obligations. If suitable identity documentation (such as a valid passport) is not provided we cannot agree to provide our cruises or other products or services to you.

Your Personal Information may also be processed if it is necessary on reasonable request by a law enforcement or regulatory authority, body or agency or in the defense of a legal claims. We will not delete Personal Information if relevant to an investigation or a dispute. It will continue to be stored until those issues are fully resolved.

Where applicable and required by law, you have the right to:

• Object to the processing of your Personal Data for profiling purposes;
• Opt out of profiling in furtherance of targeted advertising;
• Request information about the logic involved in automated processing; and
• Request human review of certain automated processing activities.

Automated Processing or Automated Decision-Making means the processing of personal information by automated means, without human involvement in each individual decision or assessment. This includes the use of algorithms, software, artificial intelligence, or other machine-based systems to analyze, evaluate, predict, or classify personal information.

You provide this information directly to the relevant third party payment provider in the EU who will act as data controller in relation to any payment information. We use such third party payment providers for payment, analytics, and other business services.

You may not opt-out of receiving communications regarding your transactional, administrative, legal or technical messages about the Sites or our services.

We may display offers, promotions, products or services from us or from our business partners or advertisers on the Sites, which we think will interest you based upon the Personal Information we collect from you.

We also use third party tools to provide advertising to you on other websites (including Social Media networks such as Facebook) by matching  our customers and visitors with a social media channel user in order to provide advertising to them on that social media platform. For this purpose, we share your information with these third party providers (for example Facebook) and use cookies or similar technologies on our Sites to analyse the effectiveness of our advertising including on other websites. For more information about our use of third party vendors, Contact Us. 

We may share your Personal Information if:

1. you specifically request this, such as when you submit Personal Information to inquire about jobs or submit a job application through the Website (if such functionality is offered by us);
2. we are required to do so to comply with the law, regulations, subpoenas, or with the direction of the courts, regulators or other authorities;
3. we determine it is reasonably necessary to prevent illegal activity, to evaluate a possible security breach or vulnerability, or to protect our interests, the security of data we hold, or the safety of others; 
4. in connection with the sale, transfer or other sharing of some or all of our assets including without limitation, in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy;
5. external hosting providers in order for the administration of our Sites (or any other online platform operated by us); and / or
6. required by our own professional advisors and auditors for the purpose of seeking professional advice or to meet our audit responsibilities.

We share your Personal Information with our employees, contractors, and third party service providers to help provide and improve our services to you, so that third party service providers can provide services (such as regarding the trips and activities that such third party service providers provide) requested by you and to carry out surveys and user analysis to understand your needs and preferences. For instance, we will share your Personal Information with our email host and / or our email newsletter distributor, and our shipboard crew may share their observations of unreported illness with our onboard security team and/or medical services provider.

We also may share your Personal Information in any manner in its de-identified or aggregated form, including sharing some broader statistics and user profiling information with third parties (provided always that all information shared is de-identified or aggregated and as such you cannot be identified from such information).

To the extent that we use short message services (“SMS”) messaging, any information related to SMS opt-in or phone numbers used for SMS will not be shared.

Keep in mind, when you share and post Your Submissions using the Sites, Your Submissions may be public and may be viewed by and available to anyone and can be seen or accessed through online search engines, APIs, and offline media. 

We will keep your Personal Information for as long as it is reasonably necessary. How long we keep it depends very much on the type of Personal Information and purpose for which it was collected.

The criteria we use to determine the retention period for certain categories of Personal Information is as follows:

1. whether you have an account with us;
2. whether you have outstanding Bookings;
3. whether you sailed with us in the last three years;
4. whether there are contractual obligations that exist that require us to retain the Personal Information for a specified period of time;
5. whether there is any ongoing legal claim that relates to any Booking you have made with us, or that is otherwise related to your relationship with us;
6. whether any applicable law, statute, or regulation allows for a specific retention period; and
7. what the expectation for retention was at the time the Personal Information was provided to us.

If you submit a request to exercise your privacy rights, we retain records of those requests so that we can comply with them (for example, so that we remember your request to opt out of marketing messages) and so that we can demonstrate that we have complied. In each case, we determine how long to retain information based on how long it is needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, whether we need to retain it for an additional window to comply with record-keeping obligations or to defend against legal claims or prevent fraud.

We have in place industry standard security procedures as to how your Personal Information is stored and used, and to try to prevent any unauthorized access or misuse of it. We run vulnerability assessments, and audit our data practices at least annually.

The Sites are intended for general use of persons who have reached the age of majority or consent in their jurisdiction of residence. Persons between sixteen (16) years of age and the age of majority or consent in their jurisdiction of residence may only use the Sites with consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. The Sites are not targeted to anyone under sixteen (16) years of age. Virgin Voyages does not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under sixteen (16) years of age. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from anyone under sixteen (16) years of age, we will promptly delete or redact such information from our records. If you believe that we have collected information from a person under the majority or consent in their jurisdiction of residence, please Contact Us.

We will use push notifications through the Virgin Voyages App to send you reminders or updates relating to your Booking such as itinerary updates for your cruise, reminders to check-in or for excursions or events you have booked (collectively, Voyage Notifications). We may also use push notifications to send you important messages of a functional, urgent and/or critical nature about your cruise (Essential Notifications), for example to notify you of a lifeboat drill.

You can only turn off push notifications for Essential Notifications through the settings on your mobile device or other handheld device.

You can change or remove your stored payment card on your account through the Virgin Voyages App at any time.

Location Based Services include delivering food and beverages ordered through the Virgin Voyages App to your specific location on board the ship. When using Location Based Services your Virgin Voyages App profile photo and exact location will be sent to our crew so they can deliver your purchase.

This feature tracks your location through receivers on board the ship. We will only track your location through the App if you are happy for us to do so. If you do not want us to track your location through your mobile device, you may turn off Location Based Services in the App or leave your mobile device in your cabin. If you do not enable Location Based Services, you can always order food and drink or other items whilst on board the cruise to your location by simply telling us where you would like those items delivered and use your key card to make payments on board and to open your cabin door.
