Oceanvoyexias respects the privacy of visitors, consultation customers, passengers, and individuals who communicate with our team.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, hold, use, disclose, retain, and manage personal data in connection with our Hong Kong cruise consultation and planning services.
Our website presents information about ten one-day and multi-day cruise options. Visitors can explore these options and request a consultation through the website. Cruise arrangements are not completed directly through the website. Consultation meetings take place at our Hong Kong office, where our representative discusses customer requirements and may prepare a proposed cruise plan and quotation.
Our handling of personal data is governed by the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) ("PDPO") and its applicable Data Protection Principles.
The information collected depends on how you interact with Oceanvoyexias.
We may collect:
Where passenger documentation or other information is required for an applicable journey, additional information may be requested when reasonably necessary.
We seek to collect information that is relevant to the purpose for which it is required.

We may also receive information from a person arranging a cruise on behalf of other passengers. The person providing such information should have an appropriate basis for supplying it to us.
Oceanvoyexias may use personal data to:
Personal data will not ordinarily be used for a purpose unrelated to the purpose for which it was collected unless the required consent has been obtained or the use is otherwise permitted under applicable law.
Oceanvoyexias seeks to collect personal data that is adequate and relevant without collecting information beyond what is reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.
Customers should provide accurate and current information, particularly where the information relates to passenger arrangements, departure details, itinerary requirements, or communications.
Where you become aware that personal information supplied to us is inaccurate or outdated, you may contact us to request correction.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website operation, remember applicable preferences, understand general website activity, or assess how visitors interact with pages.
Depending on the technology used, information may include browser type, device information, general interaction data, pages visited, and related website information.
Where browser settings permit, users may adjust or restrict cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functions.
Oceanvoyexias may disclose relevant personal data where reasonably necessary for an accepted cruise arrangement or another purpose communicated when the information is collected.
Recipients may include applicable vessel operators, itinerary service providers, port-related providers, technology providers, professional advisers, or public authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
Only information reasonably relevant to the applicable purpose should be disclosed.
Where external processors handle personal data on our behalf, appropriate contractual or other measures may be used in accordance with applicable PDPO requirements.
We do not disclose personal data to unrelated parties simply because an individual has submitted a consultation request.
Where Oceanvoyexias intends to use personal data for direct marketing activities regulated by the PDPO, we will follow the applicable consent and notification requirements.
Where required, individuals will be informed of the intended use, the categories of personal data involved, and the relevant categories of promotional subject matter before such use takes place.
Silence will not by itself be considered as consent where consent is required under the PDPO.
Individuals may request that Oceanvoyexias halts using their personal data for applicable direct marketing purposes by contacting us at:
travelpartners@oceanvoyexias.com
Such requests will be handled in accordance with applicable Hong Kong requirements.
Personal data will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or another permitted purpose.
Retention periods may vary according to the nature of the information, an accepted cruise arrangement, correspondence, record-keeping requirements, dispute considerations, or applicable legal obligations.
When personal data is no longer required, practicable steps may be taken to erase it, subject to circumstances where continued retention is required or permitted by law.
Oceanvoyexias takes practicable measures appropriate to the circumstances to protect personal data against unwanted or accidental access, processing, alteration, erasure, loss, or use.
Measures may include appropriate administrative controls, access restrictions, staff procedures, digital safeguards, and appropriate arrangements with service providers handling personal data on our behalf.
Access to personal data should be limited to persons who require it for relevant business or operational purposes.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely free from risk. We therefore maintain measures appropriate to the nature and circumstances of the information being handled.
Under the PDPO, individuals have applicable rights to request access to personal data relating to them and to request correction where the information is inaccurate.
Requests may be sent to:
travelpartners@oceanvoyexias.com
Please provide enough information for us to identify the relevant records and understand the request.
We may take reasonable steps to establish the identity of the person making the request before providing access to personal information.
Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable requirements and timeframes under Hong Kong law.
