How and Why We Collect It
The information is collected through the online Saver Card registration form on this website as part of the customer registration process; and through the customer’s use of the Dartmouth Lower Ferry service. This is deemed ‘a legitimate interest.’
It is used for the purpose of managing the customer’s Saver Card account and to allow communication with the customer when required, for notification about the service or Dartmouth Lower Ferry operation.
Online purchases are processed via the relevant third-party payment provider. Payment details (including card or account details) are not held by LOOKsystems Limited or South Hams District Council. The payment providers have been assessed to be compliant with PCI and GDPR requirements.
How we use and secure it
The information forms part of the Saver Card account record within the Dartmouth Lower Ferry ticketing system and is used to allocate Dartmouth Lower Ferry crossing transactions to the correct account. It is stored in a secure EU data centre. Access to the server and the ticketing system is strictly limited to authorised personnel.
Access by any third parties
The data that we hold is used solely for the stated purpose. No other transfer or sale of data is carried out.
We use third party services to process online payments and to manage communication with you. These have been assessed to be compliant with GDPR.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to monitor website usage. We only use aggregate data and do not identify individual website visitors.

We have retention schedules in place that set out in detail how long information will be held for. If you require more information, please contact the relevant service using the details below.

After 2 years of an account being opened, if no top-up payments have been made, the account may be closed and all personal details will be deleted.

Where an account has a balance but has not been used within the last 5 years, it may be disabled. Customers may contact Dartmouth Lower Ferry or LOOKsystems Limited to have the account reinstated.
