Where relevant, we might provide your information to businesses and individuals that we engage to assist us to provide our products and services to you (for example, our fast boat operators, and tour companies).

When we give your information to these businesses and individuals, this may involve transferring your data from one country to another. However, their use of your data will always be limited to acting on our instructions and regulated under a contract that adequately protects your data.

If legal or health and safety issues arise, we may also have to make disclosures to relevant organisations (like the police or relevant government departments and regulators) to deal with these matters.
Your Rights
YOUR RIGHT TO REQUEST ACCESS

You can ask us what information we hold about you and check that we are complying with the laws that apply to the way we use your information. We won’t charge you a fee for this unless you ask for excessive information or you repeatedly contact us, or you don’t have a proper reason to contact us. If you make repeat requests or we don’t believe you have a proper reason for asking us, we might refuse your request. We might ask you for more information about yourself so that we can make sure you are who you say you are before providing you with any information.

YOUR RIGHT TO REQUEST DELETION ("RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN")

In the following situations you have the right to ask us to delete your information:

  • if we no longer need your information for the purpose that we collected it;
  • if we asked you for consent to use your information, but you want to withdraw that consent;
  • if you object to our use of your personal information and there is no legitimate business interest for us to keep using it;
  • where we’re using your information against the law; or
  • where there is a legal obligation that means your information has to be erased.
We aren’t always obliged to delete your information when you request it, but if we don’t think we need to delete your information we will tell you why.
