Privacy & Cookie Policy

About the information we collect and your privacy. Mundy Cruising respects the privacy of every individual who visits our website. This privacy policy outlines the data we collect and how it is handled:

PRIVACY POLICY

Mundy Cruising Ltd, which also trades as Mundy Adventures, is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR), we are the data controller.

This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it. By visiting this website you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this policy

We use information held about you in the following ways:

Information we collect from you

We will collect and process the following data about you:

Information you give us.

We will use this information:

  • to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us and to provide you with the information, products and services that you request from us;
  • to provide you with information about other goods and services we offer that are similar to those that you have already purchased or enquired about;
  • to notify you about changes to our service;
  • to ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.

If you contact us for information or indeed for a price on a particular cruise, you might do so by telephone, email, face to face, or by filling in a form on our website. At that point, we will begin to collect information about you. The simple contact details we will request are the means to respond to your enquiry: a telephone number, email address, and of course your name, and possibly the names of those who may be travelling with you. The information you give us may also include financial and credit card information, personal description and photograph.

The information will be used to manage your account and your booking or booking request.

Once we proceed beyond the enquiry stage to make a booking for you, additional information will be needed, such as the full passport names of all the people travelling on the booking and their dates of birth. We may also need their addresses and contact numbers. There may be a need to collect additional information such as details of next of kin or emergency contacts, and personal details you need to pass to us in order to ensure your booking is looked after properly: these can include dietary requirements and medical needs which act as an indicator of other personal details (such as your ethnicity or the state of your health). The information will be used solely for the smooth running of your holiday. If we do not need the information, you have no need to supply it to us.

We must pass on personal information to the companies fulfilling your booking, which include cruise lines, airlines and other travel providers. This will in many cases involve your information being passed to entities in other countries throughout the world. They in turn may be obliged to pass your information on for purposes of immigration manifests and so forth. We will require these companies to also ensure that your data is adequately protected and your privacy upheld.

We will use your contact details regularly to keep you updated on the progress of your booking, make you aware of ways to enhance your forthcoming holiday, assist you with pre-reservations, and supply all appropriate information.

  • If you have provided us with your consent to contact you with marketing about our products and services we think may interest you, we will ask you if and how you wish to be contacted. We also market through Facebook; where we provide information to you via Facebook, we will ensure that your data is adequately protected by Facebook and your privacy upheld in accordance with the GDPR.
  • Please note that calls to the Reservations team may be monitored and are recorded for training purposes.

Information we collect about you

Please note that Mundy Cruising does not collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. You must be over 18 to register your personal details, including your email address.

We will use this information:

  • to administer our site and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes;
  • to improve our site to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer;
  • as part of our efforts to keep our site safe and secure;
  • to measure or understand the effectiveness of advertising we serve to you and others, and to deliver relevant advertising to you;
