However, to ensure that the data is managed in the best way possible, data processing is delegated to the individual managers in each of our departments.

In accordance with the regulations on counting and registering persons on board passenger ships, Color Line is obligated to record some of your personal data (name, address, phone number, e-mail address, date of birth and additional general personal information) before you are permitted to travel with us. In order to fulfil our agreement with you as our customer and guest, Color Line must therefore process and store some of your personal data.

Use of personal data for marketing purposes
We wish to offer you services and products that are suitable for you and your interests.

This personal data is also used to manage the individual customer relationship, simplify the booking process for returning customers, and inform product development.
Color Line defines a current customer as an individual who has travelled with a Color Line service within the past 3 years, and Color Line will send news and other information to such customers via e-mail approximately once a month during this period. In order to determine which news our customers find relevant, we collect information about whether our e-mails are read and whether you click on the links contained within these e-mails. This data is then used for analysis and targeted marketing initiatives. You may withdraw your consent to this at any time by contacting us.
