When will we send you marketing?

We may send you marketing messages via email, to keep you up to date with what the latest and best offers, ferry timetable releases and to help you find ferry ticket prices.

Once you do this we will update your account details so you don’t receive any more marketing messages.

Unsubscribing from marketing messages will not stop service communications, such as booking confirmations and updates.

When will we share your information with others?

When you make a booking we may need to share your personal information with the providers (e.g. Ferry Operators, insurance providers, product distributors) of the services and products you’re purchasing.

We may disclose information about you, your account and booking history to (i) companies within the Direct Ferries Group for the purposes and subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy Statement; and (ii) in the event that we undergo re-organisation or are sold to a third party, in which case you agree that any personal information we hold about you may be transferred to that re-organised entity or third party for the purposes and subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy Statement.

We will not sell or pass your personal information to third parties (other than as set out in the paragraph above) unless you have given us permission or unless it is necessary to deliver and improve upon the products and services ordered or used by you. For example, we may disclose your data to a credit card company to validate your credit card details and obtain payment when you buy a product or service. It may also be necessary to pass your data to the organisation from whom you have ordered any products or services.

Direct Ferries may also be obliged to disclose your personal information to meet any legal or regulatory requirements or obligations in accordance with applicable law.
