We collect and process data about travel agents in connection with the promotion, delivery and improvement of our travel agency loyalty scheme ‘Shine’ (the “Scheme”). This privacy notice describes what personal data we collect in connection with the Scheme, how we use that personal data, and how to ensure that our processing meets your expectations.
Why we process personal data
We process personal data about our travel agent partners in connection with the Scheme in order to promote the Scheme and to administer and fulfil the Scheme. We may process personal data related to members of the Scheme in order to support our legitimate interests, which include:

- Monitoring and improving the quality of our services;
- Working with our travel agent partners to manage and improve employee reward opportunities.
What personal data we will collect
We collect personal data from you when you provide it to us, and with your consent use it to register you in the Scheme and better tailor the Scheme and our communication to you including:
- Contact details including your name and email address;
- Employment data including personal title, job title, length of service in industry, work address, phone number, ABTA number (so we can confirm that you are a travel agency employee);

How we process personal data
The personal data you provide to us or which we obtain through your dealings with us in connection with the Scheme may be used for the following purposes:
- To administer your membership of the Scheme;
- To keep you up to date with our latest news, offers and services;
- To track the response to our travel agent communications;
- To review, develop and improve the Scheme and the services we offer to our travel agent partners;
- For statistical analysis.
We will send information about news, offers and services to you by email whilst you remain a member of the scheme, and you may from time to time receive written communications, rewards or gifts to your registered postal address. Should you wish to discontinue these communications then you will need to close your account which you can do on your ‘My Account’ page.
We also use anonymised personal data related to the Scheme to provide longer-term insight into the effectiveness of our travel agent partner services and communications and to support our service planning and delivery.
Sharing personal data
We contract a third party, Sodexo Motivation Solutions U.K. Limited to perform certain activities on our behalf in connection with the Scheme. Examples include maintaining the database of Scheme participants, supplying and operating the Scheme website, fulfilling Scheme benefits, sending certain communications in relation to the Scheme, analysing data and providing reports. Sodexo Motivation Solutions U.K. Limited is a processor acting on behalf of Carnival plc and has access to personal information needed to perform its functions, but is not permitted to use it for other purposes. We may use third parties to deliver aspects of the service, for example sending emails and other communications. When we do so, they will act as processors on behalf of Carnival plc and will be subject to appropriate legal and technical controls.
If you claim a Scheme benefit we (or Sodexo Motivation Solutions U.K. Limited on our behalf) may pass personal data about you on to the relevant supplier(s) of your Scheme benefit. This may involve sending personal data about you between different countries within the European Union.
You may from time to time be offered discounts and other benefits through the Scheme website which are offered by Sodexo Motivation Solutions U.K. Limited or other partners. When you click on these links you will be asked to consent to the transfer of your details to those third parties, and your use of their services will be subject to their privacy notices.
We will share aggregated data related to Scheme membership and participation with your employing travel agency. This may include the number of individual travel agency employees who are members of the Scheme, how many points have been earned by travel agency employees who are members of the Scheme and information about how travel agency employees are utilising points awarded under the Scheme. This data will not identify you personally, although in certain circumstances it might be possible for a travel agency to identify individual employees from this data.
