09 / Privacy Charter
Privacy Policy for Liner Atlas
This Privacy Policy explains how Wonderstar s. r. o. collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you explore Liner Atlas and our associated onboard lifestyle content, with a particular focus on users located in Australia.
01 / Introduction to Privacy
Introduction to Privacy
Wonderstar s. r. o. respects the privacy of every guest, reader, and partner who visits Liner Atlas, our premium luxury cruise liner review and onboard lifestyle portal.
This Privacy Policy outlines how Wonderstar s. r. o. manages personal information collected from visitors, guests, and users engaging with the website located at https://lineratlas.com and any associated services, including onboard experience reviews, comment participation, and subscriber communications.
By accessing or using Liner Atlas, submitting information through our forms, or participating in interactive features such as comments and reviews, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Where we rely on your consent as a legal basis for processing, you may withdraw your consent at any time as described in the Your Rights & Choices section below.
This Policy primarily addresses individuals located in Australia and is designed with reference to applicable Australian privacy principles. Because our business is operated by Wonderstar s. r. o., a company registered in Slovakia, certain data processing activities may also be influenced by European Union data protection standards.

Like many modern content platforms, Liner Atlas uses cookies and comparable tracking technologies when you browse our pages, read reviews, or interact with features such as comments and social sharing buttons.
These technologies may include:

We do not sell your personal information, but we may share it with carefully selected partners and service providers where necessary to operate and protect Liner Atlas.
Wonderstar s. r. o. may disclose personal information collected through Liner Atlas in the following circumstances:
- Service providers and technical partners – including hosting providers, analytics tools, email delivery services, and security partners who process data on our behalf to support the operation, performance, and protection of Liner Atlas.
- Professional advisers – such as legal, financial, or compliance advisers, to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of receiving professional advice and managing our business responsibly.
- Prospective or actual business transfers – in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or other corporate transaction involving Wonderstar s. r. o., where permitted by law and subject to appropriate safeguards.
- Legal and regulatory authorities – where we are required to do so by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request, or where disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, or the integrity of the platform.
Whenever we disclose personal information to third parties, we endeavour to ensure that they only access the information necessary to perform agreed services and that they handle the information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.
06 / Your Rights & Choices
Your privacy rights and choices
If you are located in Australia, you have certain rights in relation to your personal information and how it is used by Wonderstar s. r. o. through Liner Atlas.

- Right to deletion – to request deletion of personal information that is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to retention obligations under applicable laws.
- Right to object or restrict certain processing – to object to specific uses of your personal information, or to request that we limit processing where you believe it is not justified.
- Right to withdraw consent – where we process personal information on the basis of your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time; this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

07 / Data Security & Retention
Data security & retention
We treat the security of personal information with the same level of care that we bring to curating a refined, trustworthy onboard review experience.
Wonderstar s. r. o. implements technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information processed through Liner Atlas against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures may include encryption in transit, access controls, secure hosting environments, monitoring for suspicious activity, and internal policies governing how our team handles data.
Access to personal information is restricted to personnel and service providers who have a legitimate need to know the information in order to operate, develop, or secure Liner Atlas, and who are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:
- For the duration of your active relationship with Liner Atlas, including subscriptions or ongoing correspondence.
- For the period required to comply with legal, tax, accounting, or reporting obligations.
- For a limited period after that, where reasonably necessary to resolve disputes, enforce our Terms and Conditions, or maintain security records.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or securely anonymise it in line with applicable regulatory requirements and our internal data retention schedules.
08 / International Data Transfers
International data transfers
Because Wonderstar s. r. o. is based in Slovakia and works with a global ecosystem of partners, your personal information may be processed outside Australia.
Information collected through Liner Atlas may be transferred to, stored in, or otherwise processed in countries outside the one in which you reside, including but not limited to:
- European Union member states – including Slovakia, where Wonderstar s. r. o. is registered and performs certain operational and administrative functions.
- Other jurisdictions – where our trusted service providers, such as hosting, analytics, or email delivery partners, maintain their infrastructure.
These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in Australia. In such cases, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information, in line with applicable legal standards. These safeguards may include contractual protections, such as data processing agreements or standard contractual clauses, and careful selection of reputable service providers.
By using Liner Atlas and providing personal information, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred and processed in these jurisdictions, subject to the protections described in this Privacy Policy.
