Who’s in control?

Depending on your reservation, Kalos Holdings LLC, Kalos Tours LLC, Kalos Tours Air LLC, Kalos Tours Gold LLC, Kalos Tours ON LLC, Kalos Tours Silver LLC or Kalos Tours SCC LLC is the “data controller” or “business,” as those and similar terms are defined under applicable data privacy laws, of all personal data collected and used for the purposes of providing our products or services and for any other purposes set out in this privacy notice. This means that this party is responsible for keeping your personal data safe; deciding how and why your data is used; and ensuring that your personal data is handled legally.

What personal data might we collect about you?

We do our best to keep the personal data we collect about you to the minimum necessary needed to fulfil the purpose of collection or processing.

The personal data we collect depends upon how you are interacting with us. For example, if you are making a reservation with us, we are likely to ask for more information than if you’re only requesting a brochure or browsing our website. We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data depending on the nature of the product or service you buy from us; the below contains some of the personal data we may ask you to provide:

  • Details about you: Your first and last name, marital status, title, gender, e-mail address, telephone number, postal address, date of birth, loyalty membership details, your reasons for travel, emergency contact details, clothing size (for merchandise), and qualifications (e.g. if you reserve a cruising/sailing holiday).
  • Payment details: Your bank details and payment card details when making a reservation with us. Details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us.
  • Identification documents: If you are travelling on a route requiring advance passenger information, your passport or identity card details including your passport number, the country in which your passport was issued, and the expiration date.
  • Details about your reservation with us: Details such as where you are flying from and to, your reservation information (including anyone else on the reservation), any onward travel details if relevant, details of experiences or excursions reserved through us, baggage requirements, upgrade information, lounge visits, seat preferences, meal or dietary preferences or requirements, details of any special assistance required, and any other relevant information so that we can provide you with the entirety of the services you have arranged with us.
  • Details from your interactions with us: Information about interactions or conversations with us and our staff, including when you make enquiries, comments, complaints, or submit feedback to us. This could also include username and password and your interests, marketing preferences, reviews and survey responses.
  • Your use of our systems and services: This includes how you use our site, app, physical locations (such as bases, vessels or retail stores), call centers, social media pages, IP addresses, information from cookies and other electronic tracking technologies, and information you may post on social media.
  • Job applications: If you apply for a job with us, your CV, work history, educational details, and the role you are applying for.
  • Special types of data: In some circumstances, we may need to collect personal data from you that is deemed sensitive. For example, we might collect:
    • Data about your health. Knowing your dietary requirements, medical history, and any medical conditions you have will ensure that the trip is suitable for you, that any necessary adjustments are made, and that we can provide you with appropriate or emergency medical care in the event of an incident, if necessary.
    • Information about your personal beliefs. For example if you specify a meal preference that indicates a particular religion, such as a kosher or halal meal.

We try to limit any sensitive personal data we collect to the minimum possible. Where we are required to do so by applicable law, we will ask for your explicit consent to collect it.

Children’s personal data

We do not knowingly collect or solicit any personal data directly from children under the age of 16. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal data from a child, we will promptly take steps to delete that information. If you are a parent or legal guardian and think your child has given us their personal data, you can contact us via the methods in the “How can you contact us?” section below.

How do we collect your personal data and why?

Depending upon your interactions with us, we might collect personal data in the following ways:

We will use your contact details to send you communications that relate to reservations or services that you have requested. The types of information usually included would be: e-mails responding to enquiries, providing you with tickets, alerting you to changes in itineraries, or responding to any complaints you have.
  • To provide assistance with online reservations. We may collect personal data when you enter it into forms on our websites but do not complete your reservation. We do so in order to offer assistance in case you are experiencing difficulties using our websites.
  • To handle and investigate complaints. We may use your personal data to follow up on and manage complaints. In some instances, we may disclose your personal data to relevant third parties in order to properly investigate.
  • To enable you to partake in a prize draw, competition, or complete a review or survey.
  • To send you marketing communications. We will use your personal data to contact you in order to keep you up to date with the latest news, offers, events, sales, brochures, promotions, and competitions that we consider may be of interest or relevant to you.
  • To personalize your customer experience and improve our service. We use your personal data to provide you with a more personalized service. This might include personalizing the communications we send to you with preferences, sending you only with advertising that we think you might like, and/or enhancing your holiday experience. We may also record and/or monitor calls.
  • To ensure security and protect our business interests. In certain circumstances, we use your personal data to ensure the security of our services, buildings, physical locations (such as bases, vessels or retail stores), and people, including to protect against, investigate and deter fraud, unauthorized or illegal activities, systems testing, maintenance and development.
  • To process your job applications. We will use your personal data to process any job applications that you submit to us, whether directly or via an agent or recruiter (speculatively or in response to any ad).
  • To optimize our sites and app. If you use our sites or apps, we will use your personal data to ensure that the content from our websites are presented in an effective manner for you and your device, to provide you with access to our site and app in a manner that is effective, convenient and optimal, and to provide you with content that is relevant to you, using site analytics and research and in certain circumstances combining that with other information we know about you.
  • To use data analytics to improve our website, products/services, marketing, customer relationships, and experiences.
  • To conduct research. We use your personal data to carry out aggregated and anonymized research about general engagement with our services and systems, or if you choose to participate in customer surveys, consumer focus groups and research.
  • To comply with our legal obligations. In certain circumstances, we will need to use your personal data to comply with our legal obligations, for example to comply with any court orders or subpoenas.
  • To protect, realize or grow the value in our business and assets. We may use your personal data in connection with a significant corporate transaction or restructuring, which may include (without limitation) merger, acquisition, asset sale or initial public offering, or in the event of insolvency.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and if required we will obtain your consent to such use.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

How do we use your personal data for marketing and advertising purposes?

When we will get in touch with you

One of the other reasons we sometimes collect your personal data is so that we can form a view on what may be of interest to you. With this information, we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you and what marketing you may be interested in.

We keep you up to date with our latest offers, partnerships, sales, promotions, and competitions (or those of our partners such as other members of the Travelopia group) that we think might be of interest/relevance to you.

When required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent prior to contacting you for these purposes.

What if I don’t want to receive marketing?

We never want to send our marketing to someone who isn’t interested in receiving this content. If you have decided that you no longer wish to hear from us, you can unsubscribe from marketing by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link included in all of our e-mails or by contacting us.

Who do we disclose your personal data to?

In order to provide you with the services described above, we may disclose your personal data to third parties such as:

  • Companies within the Travelopia group. We may disclose your personal data to other companies in the Travelopia group, for example and without limitation, to provide, manage and improve our products and services; for day-to-day administrative and operational purposes including delivery of our products and services; to help to personalize your experience; to handle and manage any complaints and enquiries where such services are provided at Travelopia group level; and where appropriate, to make contact and interact with you.
  • Third party suppliers we work with to provide your reservation and our other services to you. We may disclose your personal data to third parties such as, but not limited to, travel agents, booking agents, airlines, hotels, destination management companies, tour operators, event operators, transport companies, excursion providers, airport authorities, insurance companies, car hire companies, ground handling agencies, and cruise companies.
  • Service providers that we work with in connection with our business. We disclose your personal data to third party service providers that we use to provide services in connection with the products, services, and experiences we offer to you. This might include marketing agencies and/or companies that run our marketing campaigns, IT developers, service providers, and hosting providers, third parties that manage promotions, competitions, reviews or surveys, software companies, site analytics providers, medical service providers, payment service providers, and credit card screening companies.
  • Airports, immigration/border control and/or other government authorities. Sometimes we have to provide certain personal data about you to border or immigration authorities of the country you are travelling to. This would usually be the basic information contained in your passport, but the laws of certain countries may require additional information. We will provide this personal data when we are required to do so.
  • Third parties/other Travelopia group companies for marketing. In accordance with applicable law, we may disclose your personal data to third parties or other Travelopia group companies for marketing purposes.

We may have to disclose your personal data to other third parties (such as legal, accountants or other advisors, regulatory authorities, courts, and government agencies) to enable us to enforce our legal rights, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our employees or where such disclosure may be permitted or required by law.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets, alternatively, other businesses we may seek to acquire or merge with (and professional advisors acting on our or their behalf). If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice. In the event of our insolvency we, or any appointed insolvency practitioner, may disclose your personal data to third parties (such as regulators or trade associations) so that they can assess the status of your reservation and advise you on the appropriate course of action under any scheme of financial protection.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Information for individuals in Canada

We comply with applicable Canadian data protection laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Your provision of personal data to us means that you agree and consent that we may collect, use and disclose your personal data for the purposes described in this privacy notice. Should you choose not to provide us with required personal data, we may not be able to provide certain services. You acknowledge and consent that we may retain service providers to perform certain services. In the event that a service provider is located in the United States or another jurisdiction, personal data may be processed and stored in that jurisdiction, and that foreign courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of personal data through the laws of those jurisdictions.

Residents of Canada may access, review, and request correction of their personal data held by us. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your requests. The verification steps will vary depending on the sensitivity of the personal data and whether you have an account with us.

We reserve the right not to change personal data if we disagree that it is incorrect, but we will maintain a record of your request. We may not provide access to personal data if an exemption applies, for example, where the information requested would disclose the personal data of another individual or if the information would reveal confidential commercial information.

You have the right to refuse to provide or to withdraw your consent to processing of your personal data at any time. This would not affect processing where the applicable law allows us to process personal data without consent.

We will not collect, use or disclose your personal data for any other purpose than those outlined above, except with your consent. We will respond to your request regarding your personal data as promptly as possible.

How can I exercise my privacy rights?

You will not be discriminated against in any way by virtue of your exercise of the rights listed in this privacy notice which means we will not deny goods or services to you, provide different prices or rates for goods or services to you, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you.

To exercise any of the privacy rights afforded to you under applicable data protection law, please submit a request to us by one of the following methods:

• Calling us toll free at 866.942.3464
• E-mailing us at [email protected]

Verification and Process

We must verify your identity before fulfilling your requests. If we cannot initially verify your identity, we may request additional information to complete the verification process. We will only use personal data provided in a request to verify the requestor’s identity. If you are an authorized agent making a request on behalf of an individual, we will also need to verify your identity, which may require proof of your written authorization or evidence of a power of attorney.

We endeavor to respond to requests within the time period required by applicable law. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Whether you have an account with us or not, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if we cannot verify your identity and confirm the personal data relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

We may deny certain requests, or only fulfill some in part, as permitted or required by law. For example, if you request to delete personal data, we may retain personal data that we need to retain for legal purposes.
