However, no website, mobile application, electronic communication, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore take appropriate precautions to protect their account credentials, devices, OTPs, and other authentication information.

11. Children's Privacy

Gozo's booking services are generally intended to be used by adults capable of entering into legally binding transactions.

Where personal information relating to a child is provided in connection with a booking, the person making the booking represents that they are authorized to provide such information and request the relevant transportation service, subject to applicable law.

We do not knowingly seek to collect children's personal information for advertising or profiling in violation of applicable law.

Where personal information is transferred or processed internationally, Gozo will take measures required under applicable law for such processing or transfer.
