Covid Privacy Policy

 

This Privacy Notice supplements our standard Privacy Notice and should be read in conjunction with that Notice. This Privacy Notice gives specific details about how we will deal with personal information in light of Covid-19.

Due to the current public health situation, The Travel Corporation and our brands may temporarily collect additional information from customers, including health or biometric information. In some countries, such information is considered as “sensitive” or “special categories of personal data”.

The Travel Corporation will always treat the information we collect from customers, in particular health and biometric information, with the highest standards of care and in line with all applicable legal requirements and guidelines from public authorities. The Travel Corporation complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and all amendments, any other legislation relating to personal data and all other local or national legislation and regulatory requirements in force from time to time which apply to us relating to the use of your personal data.

The purpose of this specific privacy notice is to inform our customers of what personal data The Travel Corporation collects, for which purposes and under which legal grounds we may process it during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT?

Depending on the situation, we may collect the following information:

  • Your name and contact details.
  • Your COVID-19 vaccination status, including the date of administration of the last dose.
  • Where you have accepted to take rapid SARS-CoV-2 medical testing, the date and time of the test. If it is negative, we will not record the result of the test, which will only be processed by a qualified health professional in accordance with local regulations. If the result is positive and results in us being unable to continue to provide you with our services, we will retain the information for as long as is necessary to demonstrate that our withdrawal of services was reasonable.
  • Where authorised by local regulations or where you agree, we may collect your temperature before giving you access to our services/premises or to a public area. On such occasions we do not record this information, which is deleted immediately, unless the readings are not within acceptable levels in which case we may refuse access and we may retain the data in order to demonstrate that our refusal of access was reasonable.
  • If you have agreed to the use of facial recognition, we may collect your biometric information to access certain areas. We will always offer an alternative, such as badges, to the use of facial recognition. Our facial recognition features are not implemented on our CCTV systems, and will always be offered as a separate system.
  • When you have accepted or where required by local regulations, we may collect your name, contact details, date, time and location of your presence in the premises we manage for contact tracing purposes. If you notify us that you have been tested positive, we will not record this information, but only the date, time and location of the risk in order for us be able to notify the relevant customers that may have been exposed, unless otherwise required by law.
  • Your information regarding pre-existing health conditions, when you choose to share this information with us. We will only record the existence of such pre-existing health condition, and no detail on your health condition itself. Any detailed information will be processed through a qualified health professional in accordance to local regulations.
  • Your medical insurance information, as required by tourism and travel regulations.
