### The data we collect about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you. Some of the data may constitute Personal Information only when combined with personal identifiers. We have grouped the data for your reference as follows:

- **Identity Data** may include first name, maiden name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, date of birth and gender.

In this case, we may be unable to complete your booking or to provide other services to you. We will notify you if this is the case at the time.

### How Is Your Personal Data Collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

- **Direct interactions**. You may give us your identity and contact details by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal information you provide when you: apply for our Programs or register on the site or the Service; request marketing to be sent to you; provide any other personal information to us directly by post, phone, email or in person; respond to a survey or enter into our promotions and competitions; engage with us via social media; use the Message Board features of the Service and include personal information directly or indirectly (eg. via a display name).
- **Automated technologies or interactions.** As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns.

Please see our Cookie Policy below for further details.
- **Third parties or publicly available sources.** We may receive personal data about you from various third parties and public sources as set out below :
  - Technical Data from the following parties:

**(a)**  analytics providers such as Google Analytics

**(b)**  advertising networks such as Google Adwords, Facebook and Bing

### How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

- Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you. This might include using your contact data (email address and telephone numbers) to communicate with you via email, telephone call, text message and/or WhatsApp.

- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third-party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

### Purposes For Which We Will Use Your Personal Data

We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have one or more lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent (where you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g. to process your application or complete your booking)), vital interests and where relevant “legitimate interests”.

### Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

### Promotional Offers From Us

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have opted to do so while requesting other information from us or when making a booking.

### Third-party Marketing

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside the GVI family of companies for marketing purposes.

### Opting Out

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the footer of all marketing messages. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of booking or enrolling in a program.

### Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookie Policy below.

### 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 you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

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.

### Disclosures Of Your Personal Data

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes of providing services to you or performing our contract with you.

- Suppliers: such as insurance providers,service providers and other entities we work with in order to fulfill our contract with you.
- Third-party vendors: who provide services or functions on our behalf, such as credit card processing, business analytics, support and fraud prevention. Such vendors are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose other than performing the specific functions they provide.

- GVI-controlled entities: such as the various operating entities that provide on-the-ground support at our various global program bases.

- Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. 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 Policy.

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.

GVI may contact you via email to invite you to review your GVI experience in order to receive your feedback and improve our programs (the “Purpose”). We use an external company, Trustpilot A/S (“Trustpilot”), to collect your feedback which means that we will share your name, email address and reference number with Trustpilot for the Purpose. GVI may also use such reviews in other promotional material and media for our advertising and promotional purposes. If you want to read more about how Trustpilot process your data, you can find their Privacy Policy [here](https://uk.legal.trustpilot.com/for-reviewers/end-user-privacy-terms).

### International Transfers

As an international travel company and tour operator, GVI has operations in various locations across the world including all the places where our programs are based. As part of the process of processing your application for a program and performing our contract with you, your personal data will be transferred outside the United Kingdom (UK) and European Economic Area (EEA). This could include places whose laws may provide for a lesser standard of protection for your personal data than that provided under European Law.

Examples of situations where we are required to transfer your data may include, but are not limited to:

- Transfers to suppliers and partners when GVI assists with flights, insurance, visa applications and/or renewals;
- Transfers to partners where certain licences, permissions and/or authorisations are required in order to participate in our programs and/or enter certain controlled areas (such as national parks, partner schools and dive locations);
- Suppliers and partners are required to adhere to the same standards as GVI when dealing with personal data.

In all cases of transfers, we will implement appropriate safeguards to ensure your privacy rights are protected, such as using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or obtaining your consent to the transfer.

### Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

### Data Retention

##### How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

##### Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

You have the right to:

**Request access** to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

**Request correction** of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

**Request erasure** of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

**Object to processing** of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

**Request restriction of processing** of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

**Request the transfer** of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

**Withdraw consent at any time** where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

##### No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

##### What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

##### Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
