What personal information does Circus Rastelli NV collect and why? 

The personal information that we may collect about you broadly falls into the following categories:

Information that you provide voluntarily
Certain parts of our Services may ask you to provide personal information voluntarily: for example we may request your contact details such as full name, telephone number, email address, and date of birth, as necessary, in order to correspond with you or to process and ensure your booking, to register an account with us, provide the services and information you request such as details about your booking, have an emergency contact number for you in case needed, to subscribe to marketing communications from us, and/or to submit inquiries to us. You may also need to provide your billing information (such as credit card number, cardholder name and expiration date) to make a payment.

Special Categories of Personal Information
In some cases we may also require you to provide us with sensitive personal data. Sensitive personal data is a type of personal information, such as information on your religion or health. These types of information are considered sensitive and require additional protection under applicable laws. We limit the circumstances under which we may collect sensitive personal information.

In certain cases we need to process sensitive personal data, including:

• Health-related information may be needed to provide appropriate travel accommodation and accessibility or facility requirements.
• Government-issued identification numbers such as passport or driver's license number may be required for vehicle rental or other travel reservation.
• Other information that you can specify at your option and which may imply or suggest information like religion, health or other information, such as dietary needs.

The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information. If requested, we can keep you informed of our latest and most attractive offers via our email service.

Information that we collect automatically

In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area, this information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws. Specifically, the information we collect automatically may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser-type, broad geographic location (eg country or city-level location) and other technical information.

We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our Website, including the pages accessed and links clicked. Collecting this information enables us to better understand the visitors who come to our Website, where they come from, and what content on our Website is of interest to them. We use this information for our internal analytics purposes and to improve the quality and relevance of our Website to our visitors. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further under the heading “Cookies and similar tracking technology” below.

Information that we obtain from third party sources

From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third party sources but only where we have checked that these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal information to us.

In general, we will use the personal information we collect from you only for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or for purposes that we explain to you at the time we collect your personal information. However, we may also use your personal information for other purposes that are not incompatible with the purposes we have disclosed to you (such as archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes) if and where this is permitted by applicable data protection laws.

Legal basis for processing personal information (EEA visitors only) 

If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

Likewise, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
