European Union User
Data protection law in Europe (GPDR) requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and retaining personal information from citizens or residents of the European Economic Area. Our lawful bases include:
Service: In certain circumstances, we need your personal information to provide our products and services to you.
Legal compliance: On certain cases, Ecuadorian laws require us to collect and use your data. For example we use your name, passport number and nationality to comply with the Galapagos National Park regulations. The National Park requires every visitor entering Galapagos to purchase the Ingala Transit Card and the Galapagos National Park Entrance Permit. Laws regarding tax collection (if applicable) demand we keep records of payments made through our services.
Legitimate interests: we have a good and fair reason to use your data and we do so in ways which do not affect your interests and rights. We sometimes require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and that does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. We use identity, device, and location information to prevent fraud and abuse and to keep the Services secure. We may also send you promotional communications about our services, subject to your right to control whether we do so. We analyze how users interact with our Site so we can understand better what elements of the design are working properly. This allows us to improve our online experience.
