  1. Legal basis

 

The legal basis of the processing listed above from point 1 to point 5 of paragraph 2 “Purpose of the processing for which the data are intended” is reflected in the fulfilment of contractual obligations, pre-contractual and statutory measures in order to manage the maritime transport contract.

 

For point 7 of paragraph 2 “Purpose of the processing for which the data are intended” , the legal basis of the processing is reflected in the fulfilment of legal obligations to which the Data Controller is subject and in the public interest of safety in ports.

 

  1. Transfer of data

 

Please note that your data may be disclosed, as well as to other companies belonging to the Grimaldi Group, also to entities established in third countries, even outside the territory of the European Union, subject to compliance with specific procedures.

 

With reference to EU countries, your data may be disclosed to the Port Authorities, Judicial Authorities, and Police Forces, Shipping Agents and Terminals situated in Spain, Greece, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Portugal, Cyprus, Sweden and Denmark.

 

As regards non-EU countries, the data may be transferred to the above recipients working in Great Britain, Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey, Israel, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Senegal, Benin, Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, USA and Canada.

 

In particular, the communication of your data to shipping agents is envisaged since the same act as representatives of the shipowner in forwarding data to the Authorities.

 

With reference to the Terminals, however, there is an obligation under which the same must carry out particular checks on persons and things intended for boarding or disembarking. This means that the shipowner is obliged to communicate passenger data to the Terminal in advance, which in compliance with the security procedures is required to communicate the data received to the Competent Authorities (e.g. Harbour Master, Border Police, Financial Police and Customs).

 

In addition, Grimaldi Group S.p.A. may communicate the passenger data to the Authorities mentioned above directly.

 

With reference to transfers that may take place in countries such as Israel, Uruguay, Argentina, the USA and Canada, the European Commission has expressed itself by legitimising the transfer with appropriate adequacy decisions pursuant to Article 25 paragraph 6 of Directive 95/46/EC.

 

In other countries, however, the transfer of data will be regulated by the contractual relationships between Grimaldi Group S.p.A. and the Shipping Agents and Terminals concerned at the time on the basis of the Standard Contractual Clauses referred to in Art. 26 paragraph 4 of Directive 95/46/EC.

  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. harbour master and port authority);
  2. Judicial Authorities and Police Forces;
  3. Ticket Offices, Terminals and Shipping Agents for the organisation of boarding/disembarkation activities;
  4. Catering companies, for the supply of products and services on board ship;
  5. External companies dealing with the organisation of events on board ship;
  6. Companies with which you have subscribed to loyalty or association programmes – e.g. Trenitalia, Payback, Telepass, Poste Italiane, ACI etc. – which, under the agreement with Grimaldi Group S.p.A., assure you access to discounts on services offered by the company;

The need to communicate passenger data to the authorities referred to in point 1 arises from the obligation to count and register persons on board passenger vessels, referred to in the Circular of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport No 104/2014.

 

It may be necessary for us - in relation to laws, legal proceedings, disputes and/or requests made by public or governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence, national security purposes or other issues of public importance - to communicate your personal data.
