  1. Register obligation

As of May 25, 2018 and under the European AVG, our organization is to some extent required to keep a register if we record and pass on so-called special data to third parties (hotels, airline etc). Special data are - for the time being - those data that tell us or third parties more about your possible religious or medical background (think for example of a "no pork" diet, a "gluten-free" diet, a wish "wheelchair along" etc). The law, interpretation of the law and case law will show whether we really have this obligation. However, we would like to inform you of this in advance. The register must be available at all times to the supervisory authority, the Dutch Data Protection Authority, so that they can check what special data we have on our customers, where it is recorded and with whom it is shared.

  1. Transfer to third parties

As stated above, our organisation will never use your data for purposes other than those described above, unless a legal obligation or regulation requires it. We will not make the data available to third parties, unless this is necessary for making the reservation. If our organisation becomes involved in a merger, acquisition or other form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will notify you before personal data is transferred and/or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

  1. Retention period and mandatory data recording

b. In case a flight is part of your travel agreement with our organisation, we are already obliged to provide some data to the airline. As of mid 2018, airlines are obliged to hand over their passenger data to the Passenger Information Unit (Pi-NL) in the context of combating terrorism and detecting serious crime. This department is part of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. All personal information provided by you will be processed and analysed. This measure stems from the European Passenger Name Record (PNR) Directive. Passenger data is stored - anonymised for six months - for 5 years. Your data such as the reservation, the route flown, any payment details, information about your luggage and contact details are stored for this purpose. Your data can be shared with investigative agencies at home and abroad, but only for the purpose for which it is intended. HelloAlgarve has no influence on this.
