How long do we store your information?

We regularly review our retention periods for personal information.

However, we will only hold your information for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract that you have entered into with us.

Will your information be passed on?

We will not rent or sell your information to any third parties, and will not release your information to any third parties for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless we are required to do so by law or unless you have asked us to do so.

From time to time we may share your information with third parties who are working on our behalf. However, we only do so where it is necessary for completing tasks or services to you and we only provide them with the minimum amount of your information necessary. We also ensure that such third parties are under a contract with us that requires them not to use your information for their own direct marketing and ensuring that they keep your information secure.

Below are some examples of where we may provide your information to a third party:

An Airport Transfer
Your Contact and Flight Arrival details for a Base Manager
Copies of your Sailing Documents

We sometimes use third party providers to send e-newsletters, communications and surveys on our behalf. As part of this, we gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help us monitor and improve our communications and services.

In the event that our business or its assets are sold, we may disclose your information to the buyer (which may include the prospective buyer during negotiations for the sale of our assets or business).

We will also use your information wherever necessary to comply with any of our legal obligations, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements you may have with us; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of IYC Limited, our customers, or others.
