Privacy Statement

Last updated: October 1, 2024

Unique Travel Corp. (“Unique,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”), the worldwide representative for Sandals and Beaches Resorts, operates this website (the “Site”), and maintains this information privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) explaining how “personal data” collected is used and/or disclosed.

This privacy policy applies to our operations and bookings made through the United States.

If you are accessing and/or using the site while in Canada this privacy policy does not apply. Please refer to the Canadian privacy policy at https://www.beaches.com/privacy/canada

This privacy policy is part of Unique’s website terms and conditions, and your use of the site, clicking to agree to such terms and/or this privacy policy and/or submission of information or personal data to the site constitutes your acceptance of and agreement with the terms of this privacy policy and your consent to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal data as described herein.

This Privacy Policy describes our practices with respect to “personal data”. As the term suggests, “personal data” is information which can be associated with a specific individual or entity, including, for example, personal information such as a user’s name, address, or telephone number, e-mail address, and information about online activities that are directly linked to them. By “personal data” we also mean your vacation arrangements and booking history. Personal data does not include data where you can no longer be identified from it such as anonymized aggregate data.

It is common practice and often a necessity for companies or other organizations to collect personal data in order to conduct business and offer services. Unique is committed to protecting your privacy and this Privacy Policy sets out what personal data we collect, how we collect it, what we use it for and who we share it with or disclose it to.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data about you that we collect, use and otherwise process in
connection with your relationship with us as a customer or potential customer, including when you book holidays with us, use our websites or call centers, book our services through third parties such as travel agents and tour operators or engage with us at a trade fair or events we are attending. If you are a tour operator agent or travel agent, we may also collect additional personal data which is explained in the “Tour Operator/Travel Agent Privacy Policy” https://taportal.sandals.com/privacy-policy/. If you are booking a wedding with us then we will also need to collect further personal data from you which is explained in the “Wedding Customers Privacy Policy Supplemental Terms” provided below. We may provide other supplemental Privacy Policies on specific occasions when we are collecting, processing or disclosing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your personal data. Those supplemental policies should be read together with this Privacy Policy.

Where you also provide us with personal data of others, for instance, guests accompanying you on your holiday, please provide those persons with a copy of this Privacy Policy. Their personal data is also subject to the terms hereof.

 

What information do we collect about you and what do we use it for?

The types of personal data about you we may collect, store and use or disclose are set out in the table below and in each case, we have specified what we use it for and our basis for processing or disclosing it. Most commonly, we will rely on one or more of the following bases for processing your personal data:

1. Where we need to perform the contract, we have entered into with you (i.e. we need to provide the wedding you have booked);

2. Where we need to comply with a legal obligation;

3. Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;

4. Where you have consented to us doing so.

Certain categories of personal data, such as race, religion or health, are considered to be “special categories” of personal data as they are more sensitive types of data.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

  • Engage with a product or service that is not regulated by another federal or state privacy law that is specifically exempted from consumer health data privacy laws.

The type of consumer health data we collect depends on the specific service or product offering that you use or receive and your interaction with us. Examples of consumer health data that we collect may include:

Data collected by those third parties is unrelated to our collection of consumer health data from you, and we recommend reviewing those third parties' privacy notices for more information about their collection of consumer health data and methods to opt of such collection.
