1. General Information
 

The protection of your personal data is important to Flibco. This Privacy Notice explains how Flibco processes the personal data of its customers and other data subjects (referred to as “you”, “your”, or “yours”). It applies to all entities within the Flibco Group (“Flibco”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

For the purposes of this Privacy Notice, FLIBTRAVEL International S.A. (a company registered in Luxembourg under registration no. B177392, with its registered office at 4 rue Laangwiss, L-4940 Bascharage) will act as the data controller. However, when you interact directly with a specific entity within the Flibco Group, that entity will act as the local data controller for processing activities directly related to its functions.

All entities within the Flibco Group are committed to upholding the highest standards of data protection in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). Where you engage with FLIBTRAVEL International UK Ltd, the processing of your personal data will be carried out in compliance with the UK Data Protection Act, the UK GDPR, and the UK Data Use and Access Act 2025, as applicable.

2. Personal data and data processing
 

When using the term “personal data” in this Privacy Notice, we mean information that relates to you and allows us to identify you, either directly or in combination with other information that we may hold. Your personal data may include, for example, your name, your contact details (e.g. email, phone number, language), information relating to your booking (e.g. booking reference number, travel itinerary, physical address you included to book the Door2Gate service, billing address).

We collect personal data directly from you, for example, when you book a transport service with us, use our website or our app, create a customer account (“Sign up”), contact us or subscribe to our newsletter. We may also receive your personal data from our agents or other parties who book a service or product for you. If you book a transport on behalf of someone else, you must have their consent to use their personal information.

We process your personal data only when you have given your consent, when it is necessary for the performance of a contract you have concluded with us, or for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject. We may process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest only if this interest is not overridden by your rights.
 

Categories of data, processing and purposes
 

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data about you:

Sensitive personal data
 

In the course of providing services to you, we may collect information that could reveal your physical health. This type of information is considered “sensitive personal data” under data protection laws. We only collect it if you give us your clear consent and choose to share it with us yourself.

We may collect this information in the following circumstance:

• If you request special assistance or any accessibility requirement when booking our services, this could reveal information about your health (e.g. if you ask for a wheelchair).

3. Other Purposes

We may use your personal data also for the following purposes:

• To fulfil our administrative purposes and protect our business interests
  The business purposes for which we will use your information include accounting, billing and audit, credit/debit card verification, fraud screening, safety, security and legal purposes, statistical and marketing analysis, systems testing, maintenance and development.

   

• To comply with our legal obligations:
  For example, to comply with our obligation to provide your information to national authorities, where required. We may also process your personal information in order to comply with our relevant legal obligations under the Luxembourg law of 16 May 2023 transposing Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law, when you choose to share such personal information by submitting a report through our Whistleblowing Channel. Our platform is provided by Whistleblower Software. For more information on how the platform will process your personal data, please refer to our dedicated Whistleblower Privacy Notice

   

• To enter into a employment contract with you
  Should you send us a spontaneous job application via mail, we will process the personal information that you provide us with (e.g. your professional data and your CV), in order to take the steps to enter into an employment contract with you.

   

4. Job application

When you apply for a position at Flibco (either spontaneously or via our job portal), we collect and process your personal data, including identification, contact, and professional information (i.e. CV, motivation letter), to manage and assess your application, communicate with you during the recruitment process, and conduct reference checks where applicable. This processing is necessary to enter into the employment contract. 

Your data is shared only with our HR team and relevant managers and is retained for up to two years after the recruitment process if you have consented, or as necessary to demonstrate fair and transparent recruitment practices.

5. Security of your personal data
 

We are committed to taking appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage to personal data.

This means that we adhere to high security standards in order to protect your payment card details when you share such details with us.

As described in this Privacy Notice, we may in some instances disclose your personal data to third parties. Where Flibco discloses your personal data to a third party, we require that third party to have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to protect your personal data; however, in some instances, we may be compelled by law to disclose your personal data to a third party, and have limited control over how it is protected by that third party.

6. Notification in the event of a breach of your personal data
 

In the unlikely event there is a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data (such as sending personal data to an incorrect recipient, or loss of availability of personal data), we are committed to taking an informed decision on whether to notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of such a breach.  We commit to informing you without undue delay, in the event the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms.

7. Retention of your Personal Data
 

We will keep your Personal Data no longer than the reasonable time necessary for the purposes as set out in this Privacy Notice and for satisfying any legal or regulatory requirements. At the end of these data retention periods, your Personal Data will be permanently deleted or fully anonymized.
