City Cruises may also track your domain name or IP address to assist our marketing efforts as described above. For some computers, the IP address is a globally unique identifier of your computer. Multiple users of the same computer will share the same IP address. However, in most cases your ISP (or network server, if a business user) will allocate you an IP address only for the duration of your online session (about 80% of all surfers are using “temporary” IP addresses). This means that, even when your IP address is noted, it is unlikely you will have the same IP address next time you use the internet.

3. Cookies

City Cruises uses its own cookies and cookies supplied by large and small advertising and analysis companies to assist with transactions, to advertise to consumers and to understand the behaviour of users on the company’s websites in order to make them easier to use.

The City Cruises site always requires users to actively select that they receive promotional communications from City Cruises. We will never assume acceptance.  In addition, every e-mail sent out by City Cruises will contain instructions on removing that e-mail address from lists for further mailings.

5. Consent

By using citycruises.com and inputting personal information you consent to the collection and use of this information. If we change our privacy policy we will post those changes on this page. Should we change our policy in the future the change will not affect how the data you enter now is used.

6. Right to Erase

City Cruises must erase personal data at the request of the data subject, but only in limited circumstances, namely where:
– the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was processed;
– City Cruises originally relied on consent, that consent is withdrawn and has no other legal basis for processing;
– the data subject has objected to the use of their personal data for direct marketing purposes, and City Cruises only uses that personal data for direct
marketing purposes;
– the personal data is unlawfully processed; or
– the personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation to which City Cruises is subject.

7. Processors

Under the GDPR City Cruises as a data controller, when instructing a data processor to process personal data on its behalf, must ensure that there is a written contract between City Cruises and the processor dealing with a prescribed list of matters.

All security breaches should therefore be notified to City Cruises’s Data Protection Officer – [email protected]
