Privacy policy

General

At WakeSys, we place the highest importance on handling your personal data with respect and confidentiality. Accordingly, WakeSys adheres to all applicable data protection laws and regulations, in particular to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The following privacy policy outlines which data is collected from you and how it is handled. This policy applies to all WakeSys products and services. WakeSys is a service of WakeSys s.a.r.l..

We would also like to note the following as regards to the usage of service providers located outside of the European Union: WakeSys Booking System is a service that is offered internationally. Thus, it extends not only beyond the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, but also beyond the European Union. We operate worldwide and our users are scattered across this planet. We would prefer to use European service providers for particular services and service offerings, where such providers can deliver the required services at a comparable and competitive price and service level. However, we also wish to be completely transparent. For many of the services that we use there is simply no comparable, acceptable alternative. As a result we therefore employ the use of a range of service providers outside the European Union, in particular from the USA. We take steps to ensure that measures according to the European Data Protection law are taken and applied so as to guarantee an adequate level of data protection.

Your personal information

WakeSys collects, processes, and uses your personal information without asking for explicit consent only when this information is necessary for fulfilling the terms of our contract and for billing purposes. What does this mean for you?

What Information is stored and how is it used?

Information you provide

When registering in WakeSys, it is necessary to specify:

  • An email address
  • Your first and last name
  • Your gender
  • Your birthday
  • Your address
  • Your postal code
  • Your city
  • Your country
  • Your state
  • Your phone number
  • A phone number of a person to contact in case of an emergency
  • A pin
  • A password
  • A picture
Your first name, last name, birthday and gender are used to find you in the WakeSys Booking System, and identify you as the holder of a valid ticket and/or season pass and/or punch card. Furthermore, your first name and your last name will be displayed on your personal receipts and if applicable on your release of liability. This information also serves for security reasons. In case of an emergency on the water, we know who you are and who to contact.

Your address, postal code, city, country, and state are only used to be displayed on receipts & invoices and if applicable on the release of liability.

Your phone number is used to inform you about last minute cancellations of tickets and events.

The phone number of a person in case of an emergency is only used if something has happened to you, and we need to notify a person close to you.

The pin is used to give you an additional layer when paying with your prepaid payments.

The specified email address, together with your password, will be your login credentials to login to the WakeSys Booking System. All passwords are stored encrypted on our servers, and do not exist in clear-text. Logging into your account allows you, at any time, to delete your account as well as to see which personal information is stored in WakeSys.

After signing up, a member of staff will take a picture of your face, to connect you to your profile. This is necessary to identify you as the holder of a valid ticket and/or season pass and/or punch card, at the starting dock and/or cash register.

All the above data will be stored on our server in Germany, only until you delete your WakeSys account. There is one exception to the above provision: For legal reasons we are required to retain billing information (first name, last name, address, postal code, city, country and state) and release of liability information (first name, last name, birthday, gender, address, postal code, city, country and state as well as, where applicable, the first name, last name and birthday of the legal guardian) for ten years.

All information that you enter into WakeSys, will be transferred over an encrypted SSL connection (SHA-256 with RSA Encryption) to our server in Germany.

Minors and Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. We are aware that children use our customer’s service and with that also their data is collected in WakeSys. However, autonomous sign up in WakeSys of underaged children is only allowed starting at the age of 16. Prior to that, the parent or legal guardian is in charge of registering the child and confirming consent with their signature in the name of the child. If we learn that personal data has been collected from persons under 16 years of age and without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information or contact the parent to register the child as a relation to their own account. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under 16 years of age has obtained an account within WakeSys without your consent, then you may alert us at info@wakesys.com and request that we delete that child’s personal data from our systems.

Data security

All personal data that is processed by WakeSys is stored on servers in Germany.

We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal data in our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection and other access and authentication controls. We use SSL technology to encrypt data during transmission through public internet.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the service, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
