It is optional to provide this data. The acquisition and processing of said data not only allows the company to satisfy passengers’ needs as far as possible, but also to achieve the purpose set forth by the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport Circular no. 104/2014, namely "collect information and data on passengers [...] to facilitate search and rescue operations and to optimise the resources needed to deal with an SAR event".

• adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed (‘data minimisation’);
• accurate and up to date ("accuracy");
• kept for a period no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed (‘storage limitation’);

The personal data will be stored for ten years from the date of the end of the journey for purposes of keeping of accounting records and any needs originating from disputes with passengers.
The Sub-Processor will process the personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the aforesaid purposes and, in any case, for no longer than thirty-six months after the collection of consent to processing, consent that may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

The legal basis for the processing listed here above ("Purposes of processing of the data" par. 2, points 1-5) is the fulfilment of contractual obligations or the steps necessary prior to entering into a contract or by law, in order to manage the maritime transport contract.
For point 7 of paragraph 2 "Purposes of processing of the data", the legal basis for processing is fulfilment of the Sub-Processor’s legal obligations and the public interest in protection of safety in ports.

Transfer and/or disclosure of the data

The data may be communicated both to other companies in the group to which Minoan Agencies belongs and also to entities in third countries, including outside the European Union, with the adoption of appropriate procedures and with respect to the aforementioned purposes.
