  1. Data transfer

Please note that passenger data may be communicated not only to other companies belonging to the Grimaldi Group, but also to entities established in third countries, even outside the territory of the European Union, in accordance with the principles established by the Regulation.

In particular, the communication of the data to shipping agencies is foreseen as these agencies act on behalf of the shipowner to transmit the data to the Authorities.

The shipowner is also required to communicate passenger data in advance to the terminal which, in compliance with security, will be responsible for communicating the data received to the competent Authorities (e.g. Port Authority, Border Police, Financial Police and Customs).

In addition, Grimaldi Group can directly communicate passengers data to the above mentioned Authorities

  1. Disclosing your data

We also inform you that the aforementioned processing of personal and sensitive data inherent, connected with and/or instrumental to the maritime transport agreement, may provide for access to such data by:

  1. Public authorities pursuant to the Circular of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport No. 104/2014 in compliance with Directive 98/41/EC (i.e. harbor master’s office and port authority);
  2. Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport – General Command of the Port Authority Corps;
  3. Judicial authorities and Police Forces, even when such communication is deemed reasonably necessary by the Grimaldi Group to ascertain or defend its own right;
  4. On-board doctor, in case of emergencies and/or personal injury to the passenger;
  5. Ticket offices, terminals and shipping agencies for the organization of embarkation/disembarkation operations;
  6. Catering companies, for the supply of products and services on board ship;
  7. External companies involved in the organization of events on board ship;
  8. Companies with which you have subscribed to loyalty or membership programs – e.g. Trenitalia, Payback, Telepass, Poste Italiane, ACI, etc. – which, by virtue of an agreement with the Grimaldi Group, guarantee you access to discounts on services offered by the company;
  9. Legal firms, should disputes arise;
  10. Insurance companies both when booking tickets and making claims;
  11. Experts dealing with complaints;
  12. Companies, including those not belonging to the Grimaldi Group, which provide other services essential to the provision of maritime transport or the performance of marketing activities, including those subject to your express consent, such as the hosting of websites and web systems, e-mail services, marketing, sponsorship of competitions and other promotions, audit services, data analysis, the conduct of market research and satisfaction surveys.

The need to communicate passenger data to the authorities referred to in point no. 1 stems from the requirement to count and register people on board passenger ships, which is the subject of Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport Circular No. 104/2014.

The data relating to the emergency contact reported by passengers as well as the data relating to particular categories provided for the provision of special care and/or assistance in the event of an emergency, will be communicated, before departure or in any case no later than 30 minutes after departure, to the captain and the commissioner of the ship where the passenger is and in any case included by Grimaldi Group in the single national interface provided in accordance with Directive (EU) 2017/2109 in order to ensure the preparation and effectiveness of search and rescue operations at sea.

It may be necessary for Grimaldi Group – based on laws, legal proceedings, disputes and/or requests made by public or governmental authorities inside or outside your country of residence, national security purposes or other matters of public importance – to disclose your personal data. When legally possible, we will inform you prior to the disclosure.

We may also disclose personal data if we establish in good faith that it is reasonably necessary to assert and protect our rights and activate available remedies.

  1. Nature of data provision and consequences of any failure to comply

The communication of data not belonging to particular categories (with the exception of the data relating to the emergency contact that may be indicated) is necessary for the exact execution of the contractual and pre-contractual obligations to be fulfilled by us, and failure to indicate such data will make it impossible to conclude the sea transport contract you have requested, as well as to exactly fulfil the legal obligations and those deriving from the public interest to protect safety in ports.

Communication of data relating to the passenger’s “emergency contact” is, on the other hand, optional: failure to provide such data will therefore have no impact on the conclusion of the sea transport contract requested.

The communication of data belonging to special categories is optional. However, if such data will be provided, Grimaldi Group will be able to better meet the needs of passengers and provide them with the necessary assistance, as well as apply – in the cases and ways provided – the special discount applied.

  1. Grimaldi chatbot assistance

You will be able to proceed with the booking request also with the help of Grimaldi chatbot (the software support provided by an external supplier and contracted by Grimaldi Euromed to simulate a conversation with a human being (chatbot)).

Grimaldi chatbot collects the following personal data of passengers: name, surname, cell phone number, e-mail address, departure date, route, booking confirmation number. This personal data processing activity is carried out in order to allow you to book your ticket and/or to receive assistance for an already booked ticket with greater ease, and is lawful on the basis of the execution of pre-contractual measures put in place in the interest of passengers (art. 6, paragraph 1, letter b, of the GDPR).

Grimaldi chatbot is programmed to respond as if it were a human being: it uses algorithms for natural language processing, as well as machine learning processes to learn from other users the answers that could be useful to You. The human operator may still intervene if you do not receive your ticket and/or if you have problems with the payment of your ticket.

The messages you send are saved on the database of the owner, and are made anonymous after 2 years of their acquisition. These data will not be transferred outside the territory of the European Union.

Grimaldi Group does not guarantee or provide information about the processing of personal data of passengers that may be carried out through additional contact channels with Grimaldi Group managed by third parties (eg. Facebook), which remain the sole responsibility and ownership of such third parties.

  1. Changes to this document

Data processing operations may concern the following:

  • personal data and relevant photographs
  • information related to previous work activities and training courses.

In order to manage the application and the eventual selection process, it may also be necessary to process special categories of data pursuant to art. 9 of the GDPR (e.g. data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, as well as data concerning health) provided by the candidate. The provision of such data is optional. The acquisition and processing of such data will be necessary in order to fulfil the obligations and exercise the specific rights of the Joint Data Controllers or the person concerned in the field of labour law and social security and social protection.

The personal data of the candidates processed by the Joint Data Controllers are, collectively, the “Personal Data”.

The provision of Personal Data is necessary for the management of the application, and failure to provide such data, or the request for their deletion during the selection phases, will make it impossible to proceed with the evaluation of the application and to fulfil exactly the legal obligations and those arising from the applicable national collective labour agreements.

2. Purposes and legal basis of the processing

Personal Data are processed for purposes related to the implementation of activities prior to the signing of the employment contract, based on Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the GDPR.
In particular, Personal Data will be processed:
– for managing applications and the personnel selection process;

– for the extraction of statistical information, anonymously.
3. Disclosure of Personal Data and retention times

Personal Data will be kept for 2 years from the application date for administrative staff and for 3 years from the application date for maritime staff, in order to contact the candidate with regard to further open positions.
Personal Data will not be communicated to third parties, with the exception of companies that provide processing or computer services to the Joint Data Controllers or that carry out activities instrumental to such service, which, in the performance of such activities, may have access to Personal Data.
It may also be necessary for the Joint Data Controllers – based on laws, legal proceedings, disputes and/or requests made by public or governmental authorities inside or outside the State of residence of the data subject, national security purposes other matters of public importance – to disclose personal data. When legally possible, we will inform the data subject prior to such disclosure.
We may also disclose personal data if we establish in good faith that it is reasonably necessary to assert and protect our rights and activate available remedies.


F. Managing and improving the Website performance

The Website may collect and process any personal data voluntarily provided by the user by contacting the e-mail addresses published on the Website and/or by using the other contact functions provided by the Website itself (for example, the “Invoice Request” function).

Some of the user’s personal data are then automatically collected by the Website, including: IP address; date and time of access to the Website; hardware, software or browser used; information on the operating system; selected language settings; and all other data automatically collected by the Website during the user’s navigation.

Grimaldi Group, as the owner of the processing of personal data, informs the user pursuant to art. 13 of the GDPR that such personal data will be processed for the following purposes and on the following legal bases:

  1. Based on the implementation of pre-contractual measures in favour of the user, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b, of the GDPR, to provide the information and services requested by the user.
  2. Based on the fulfilment of legal and/or regulatory obligations incumbent on the Company and arising from the operation of the Website, pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, to ensure compliance with any applicable law, as well as the general conditions of the Website.
  3. Based on the legitimate interest of the Company, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, to develop and improve the Site, to ensure that the content is displayed in the most effective way for the user and the relevant device, as well as to inform the user of any significant changes to the Website and/or the services offered through it.

The criteria used to determine the period of retention of personal data is based on compliance with the terms allowed by any applicable laws: the Company will only retain the data necessary to fulfill its obligations and/or contractual obligations and for a period not exceeding that required for such fulfillments.

Personal data will not be transferred outside the territory of the European Union.

2. USER RIGHTS AS A DATA SUBJECT

The user may, at any time, exercise the following rights (within the limits established by the GDPR):

  1. to access personal data, requesting that these data be made available in an intelligible form, as well as the purposes on which the processing is based;
  2. to obtain the correction or deletion of the data or the limitation of processing;
  3. to revoke consent (where this is the legal basis for the processing) without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent before revocation;
  4. to obtain data portability;
  5. object to the processing of the data;
  6. to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, which in Italy is the Data Protection Authority, following the instructions on the website of the aforementioned authority.
