WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH AND WHY
We may disclose your Personal Information with partners and other third parties
associated with our Services.
We will share information within the Hornblower Group family of companies.
Hornblower is a part of a corporate organization that has many legal entities,
business processes, management structures and technical systems, the Hornblower
Group Family of Companies. Hornblower may share your Personal Information with
this organization in order to provide you with the Services and take actions
based on your request.
We will share information with third parties who perform services on our
behalf.
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services
(“Service Providers”), provide the Services on our behalf, perform
Service-related services or assist us in analyzing how our Services are used.
These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform
these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any
other purpose.
We may share information with third party ticket providers.
We may share information with other third party ticket providers who are
providing services. For example, if you purchase a bundle package that includes
offerings from a company outside the Hornblower Group Family of Companies
(“Ticket Provider”), your personal data may be shared to facilitate your
purchase. Once personal information is shared with a Ticket Provider, the
information becomes subject to the Ticket Provider’s privacy practices.
We may share information if any part of our business is involved in a merger or
acquisition.
If Hornblower is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (each a
“transaction”) your Personal Information may be disclosed to evaluate and
facilitate the transaction and/or transferred as a business asset. Where
required, we will provide notice when your Personal Information is transferred
or disclosed in relation to a transaction and becomes subject to different
privacy policy protections.
We may share information if we think we have to in order to comply with the law
or to protect ourselves.
Under certain circumstances, Hornblower may be required or permitted to disclose
your Personal Information pursuant to applicable law or in response to valid
requests by law enforcement or public authorities (e.g. a court or a government
agency). Hornblower may disclose your Personal Information in the good faith
belief that such action is necessary or prudent to:
• comply with a legal obligation;
• protect and defend the rights or property of Hornblower;
• prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service;
• protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public; and
• protect against legal liability.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR INFORMATION
We use standard security measures.
The security of your data is very important to us and we take steps to try to
make sure your information is protected, but remember that no method of
transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage that is 100%
secure. Our security measures include industry-standard physical, technical and
administrative measures to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of your
information, to maintain data accuracy, to ensure the appropriate use of
information, and otherwise safeguard your Personal Information. While we strive
to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we
cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We will only retain your data for as long as necessary.
Hornblower will retain your Personal Information only for as long as is
necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. We will retain and use your
Personal Information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal
obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with
applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and
policies. Hornblower will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes.
Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this
data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our
Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.
We store information both in and outside the United States.

Information, to United States and process it there.
Hornblower will take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information
is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and no transfer of your
Personal Information will take place to an organization or a country unless
there are adequate controls in place including the security of your Personal
Information. If you do not want your information transferred to or processed or
maintained outside of the country or jurisdiction where you are located, you
should not use the Services.

you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party website.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

against for exercising any of the rights described in this section. We will

certain exceptions.

receipt of a verifiable request to correct inaccurate personal information,
we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the information as you
direct.
* Right to Limit the Use of Your Sensitive Personal Information – Effective
beginning January 1, 2023, you may direct us to limit the use of your
sensitive Personal Information to uses that are reasonably necessary to
provide our goods and services, or as needed; to ensure security and

advertising; to maintain or service accounts, provide customer service,

or concerns, please contact us by emailing us at privacy@hornblower.com or
calling us toll-free at 833-311-0971.
When making a request regarding your privacy rights, we may ask you to verify
your identity. To do so, we may ask you to verify Personal Information we

fraud-prevention purposes. If you exercise your right to request specific pieces
of your personal information, we may require you to sign a declaration under
penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the
subject of the request.
* Right to Opt-Out of Selling or Sharing of Your Personal Information– The CCPA
broadly defines “personal information” and “selling” such that sharing
identifiers and identifiers linked to you for a benefit may be considered a
sale. You have the right to opt-out of having your Personal Information sold
as defined in the CCPA. We do not sell your Personal Information. However, we

third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. To opt-out

the section of this Privacy Policy entitled, “You can control cookies and
tracking tools” or visit our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal

1. MARKETING
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain uses of your Personal
Information, particularly around marketing.
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage, Geolocation and Profile
Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of
interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may
be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested
information from us, purchased goods or services from us, consented to receiving
such communications or where we are pursuing a legitimate interest and have a
lawful right to do so and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving
that marketing.
If you do not want us to use your Personal Information in this way or to
disclose your Personal Information to third parties for marketing purposes,
please click an unsubscribe link in your emails or emailing us at
privacy@hornblower.com. You can object to direct marketing at any time and free
of charge.
2. OPTING OUT
You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any
time by clicking on an unsubscribe link in your emails or emailing us at
privacy@hornblower.com at any time.
Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to
Personal Information provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase,
service experience or other transactions.
3. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
To provide services and effectively run our business, we may need to share your
Personal Information as permitted by law. We may share your Personal Information
with the following categories of recipients:
* Other companies within the Hornblower Group Family of Companies;
* Service providers (which may include “service providers” as that term is
defined under the General Data Protection Regulation, including IT and system
administration services and recruitment agencies;
* Third party ticket providers who are entities outside the Hornblower Group
Family of Companies (“Ticket Providers”), but from whom you purchased
services from our Sites.
* Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers;
* Regulators and other authorities where required by law;
* Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our
business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other
businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the
new owners are permitted to use your Personal Information in the same way as
set out in this privacy statement.
We require all group companies and third party Service Providers to respect the
security of your Personal Information and to treat it in accordance with the
law. We do not allow our third party Service Providers to use your Personal
Information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal
Information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Your personal data is subject a Ticket Provider’s privacy policies once the data
is transferred.
We do not sell the Personal Information we collect about you. We may, however,
share your Personal Information with service providers or third parties in
accordance with the business purposes set out in this privacy statement.
4. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Hornblower Group is headquartered in the United States and the Sites are hosted
in the United States. As a result, if you are located in Europe or the United
Kingdom your Personal Information may be transferred outside Europe.
Personal Information that is voluntarily provided to us may be maintained or
accessed in servers or files located in the United States, which some or all of
the Designated Countries have not deemed to provide “adequate” privacy
safeguards. If you do not consent to having your Personal Information processed
and stored in the United States, please do not provide it to us. By voluntarily
providing your Personal Information on or via the Sites, you acknowledge and
accept that your Personal Information will be transferred, processed and stored
in the United States.
Some of our third party service providers are based outside the Designated
Countries so their processing of your Personal Information will also involve a
transfer of data outside the Designated Countries.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Information out of the Designated Countries,
we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least
one of the following safeguards is implemented:
We will only transfer your Personal Information to countries that have been
deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Information by
the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en.
Where we use certain providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the
European Commission which give Personal Information the same protection it has
in Europe. For further details, see:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en.
Please contact us at the details set out above if you are located in Europe and
want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring
Personal Information out of Europe.
5. DATA SECURITY
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information
breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are
legally required to do so.
6. DATA RETENTION
As stated earlier in this Policy, we will only retain your Personal Information
for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including
for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Where it is no longer necessary to retain your Personal Information, we will
securely delete, or in some circumstances, anonymize your Personal Information
(so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical
purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further
statement to you. Any such anonymization would be performed in accordance with,
and where allowed by, applicable law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we
consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the
potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal
Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and
whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable
legal requirements.
7. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS A RESIDENT OF THE DESIGNATED COUNTRIES
If you are located in the Designated Countries, under certain circumstances, you
have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Information.
These rights include:
Request access to your Personal Information (commonly known as a “data subject
access request”): this enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information
we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you: this
enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you
corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide
to us.
Request erasure of your Personal Information: this enables you to ask us to
delete or remove Personal Information where there is no good reason for us
continuing to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information
where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see
below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are
required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note,
however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure
for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the
time of your request.
Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a
legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about
your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this
ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal
Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate
that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which
override your rights and freedoms.
You have the right not to be subject to automatic decision-making, including
profiling. We sometimes use our computers and technology to study your personal
information. This helps us to use this information so we know how you use our
services, and make suggestions and recommendations to you about goods or
services that may be of interest to you.
Request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you
to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the
following scenarios:
(a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
(b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
(c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you
need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
(d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we
have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We
will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information
in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right
only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for
us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your
Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any
processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your
consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We
will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at
privacy@hornblower.com.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your
identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to
exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that
Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive
it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to
your request to speed up our response.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.
If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:
1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others.
Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
(optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
the focus to drift outside.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
(forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported on our website
* Epilepsy Safe Profile: this profile enables people with epilepsy to safely
use the website by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flashing
or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
* Vision Impaired Profile: this profile adjusts the website so that it is
accessible to the majority of visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight,
Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
* Cognitive Disability Profile: this profile provides various assistive
features to help users with cognitive disabilities such as Autism, Dyslexia,
CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements more easily.
* ADHD Friendly Profile: this profile significantly reduces distractions and
noise to help people with ADHD, and Neurodevelopmental disorders browse,
read, and focus on the essential elements more easily.
* Blind Users Profile (Screen-readers): this profile adjusts the website to be
compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A
screen-reader is installed on the blind user’s computer, and this site is
compatible with it.
* Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables
motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab,
Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M”
(menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to
jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its
family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as
light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color
schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
options.
3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
and CSS flashing transitions.
4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
elements only.
5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
entire website instantly.
6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
phrases, initials, slang, and others.
7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Assistive technology and browser compatibility
We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form

accessibility interface, you won't be able to see it anymore, unless you clear
