All data of natural persons identified as passengers (i.e. persons who use the travel ticket) will be processed.

We also remind You that the processing may concern the following data belonging to special categories pursuant to art. 9 of the GDPR, if spontaneously provided by passengers in order to take advantage of special assistance on board or if otherwise processed by on-board personnel in the event of emergencies and/or accidents to the passenger’s person during navigation:

  • Information about disabilities;
  • information about particular health conditions;

Finally, in relation to point 10, we inform you that Article 4 of the GDPR defines profiling as “any form of automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal information to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects of personal preferences, interests, behaviour, sensitivity to commercial offers, the location or movement of that natural person”. Therefore, it can be considered a personal data processing activity that consists in dividing customers into homogeneous groups according to their behavior. If you give Your consent, Your Personal Data may be processed in order to trace a “history” of Your business relationship with the Grimaldi Group (for example, the different “touch points” with the Grimaldi Group, the interaction modalities You used, the preferences and the purchase frequency may be taken into consideration). This activity aims at elaborating a profile of Yours in order to personalize the offer of services and eventual specific services requested by You. If you decide to participate in Grimaldi Group brand reputation initiatives, we may process your data to reserve you ad hoc promotions.

It is understood that the activities referred to in paragraphs 9, 10 and 11 above will be carried out only on the personal contact data of the booking holder, i.e. the person who provided his or her e-mail address during the booking process.

Data belonging to special categories will be processed for the following purposes:

  1. guaranteeing passengers who so request the use of special assistance on board;
  2. in case of emergency and/or accident of the passenger on board, guaranteeing passengers who so request special care and/or assistance due to their state of health;
  3. apply any special discounts that may be provided for disabled persons and their companions, if the passenger has given his or her consent for this purpose.

  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. Rights of data subjects

Each passenger 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. to object to data processing;
  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.

The above-mentioned rights may be asserted by addressing requests to the following e-mail address: privacy@grimaldi.napoli.it.

The Data Protection Officer (DPO) appointed by the Grimaldi Group Companies is available at the following e-mail address: DPO@grimaldi.napoli.it.
