The Controllers will process your personal data for the purposes set out below, and consistently with the purpose of the channel through which you may have provided your personal data:

If, during the purchase or booking process, you claim any special promotions that require you to fulfl certain conditions (e.g. large family, discount code for certain groups, etc.), please note that we may ask you to produce documentary evidence of your eligibility (e.g. large family card, official document showing your membership to a group, ID card, passport, driving licence, etc.). No information will be recorded or stored by the Controllers.

Should unforeseen events or circumstances arise that may impact on the product or service purchased by you (inclement weather, security or public health concerns, etc.), the Controllers may contact you by electronic means (e-mail, SMS, telephone calls) to inform you of the circumstances that may affect your visit.

Type of personal data processed: your first name, surname, email address, and telephone number; details of your purchase or booking; proof of payment and payment details, your date of birth to ensure that you are over fourteen (14) years of age. Please note that pursuant to European data protection regulations, if you are under fourteen (14) we will be required to obtain the consent from your parents or guardians. The Controllers may also process information about your country to ensure that any communications are sent to you in your chosen language.

Lawful basis: our lawful basis for processing your personal data are the terms and conditions applicable to the purchase of your product or service. Without such personal data, the Controllers would be unable to process your purchase or booking.

Customer care

If you request information about products and services, assistance from agents for their purchase, or submit inquiries, suggestions, complaints, claims, or incidents through any of the channels provided by the Controllers (specific form, telephone, email, or web chat), your personal data will be processed to manage and respond to your request via email, phone call, or web chat, depending on the method you used to submit your request.

When customer support is provided through the telephone channel, the Controllers will also record the conversation held with you. This process is carried out to verify the quality of the assistance provided during the call.

Type of personal data processed: name, surname, phone number, e-mail, transactional information related to the purchase or reservation of products and services (e.g., ticket locator number), date of birth (to ensure that you are over fourteen (14) years old since, otherwise, according to European data protection regulations, we would need to obtain the consent of those who hold parental authority or legal guardianship), country (to ensure that we attend to your request in the language of the country you have provided to guarantee understanding at all times), voice (in the case of a telephone call), and any other information you provide to correctly process your request.

Lawful basis: the personal data will be processed for implementing, at your request, certain pre-contractual steps or pursuant to the terms and conditions of your agreement for the purchase or booking of products or services. Without the above personal data, your request may not be processed.

Additionally, the processing of personal data that may arise from the recording of the call is necessary for the satisfaction of the legitimate interests of the Controllers in order to periodically verify that our agents comply with the internal quality standards required by the Controllers for the performance of their functions and address any deficiencies detected in this regard. However, you can oppose this processing at any time by submitting your request to the Data Protection Officer (DPO) through any of the channels indicated in this privacy policy.

Surveys

If you purchase any of our products or services, the Controllers may send you surveys electronically (e.g. e-mail, SMS, phone, etc.). This is a valuable tool that enables us to find out our customers' degree of satisfaction whilst allowing them the opportunity to make suggestions. Your opinion will also enable the Controllers to improve their processes, and their range of products and services.

Type of personal data processed: your email, telephone, information related to your purchase or booking, your country (to ensure that the survey is sent in your chosen language) and any other non-personal information you provide on the surveys you chose to respond to.

Lawful basis: this processing is based on the Controllers' lawful interest in obtaining customer feedback related to the products and services purchased by them, their needs, and suggestions. The Controllers believe that no rights of their customers are infringed upon as a result of this processing. The Controllers also believe that  a proper balance exists between their interests and those of their customers.  Processing your personal data allows us to find out your opinion, which is necessary for us to improve our range of products and services and the park's operational processes for a better quality of our customers' experience. Additionally, due to the large number of visitors that may come to the park, sending surveys electronically is necessary for the purpose described and that there is no other effective mechanism to achieve this purpose.  Likewise, we understand that our customers may reasonably expect for their personal data to be processed based on their contractual relationship with us, on the specific information provided to them as part of the purchase or reservation process, and on the fact that this type of processing is customary in the services industry. Please note that only strictly necessary non-sensitive personal data is processed, that no surveys are sent to children under fourteen (14) years of age, and that we only contact our customers occasionally and for a limited period of time.

Customers may object, at any time, to the processing of their personal data or exercise any other rights under applicable data protection regulations in accordance with the procedure described below in What are my rights on my personal data provided to you?” of this Privacy Policy.
