What is the basis for processing my data for booking verification?

We rely on the following legitimate interests to process your personal data for booking verification purposes:

  1. Preventing and minimising customer care and privacy issues associated with customers being unable to manage their own bookings with Ryanair directly;
  2. ensuring Ryanair can communicate all necessary information, including service-related information, to customers in a timely manner;
  3. avoiding reputational damage associated with the difficulties caused by third-party travel agent bookings;
  4. reducing operational costs associated with third-party travel agents;
  5. ensuring that an individual with personal knowledge of those traveling and of the contents of their luggage completes dangerous goods declarations which are intended to ensure the safety, security and public health of all staff and passengers; and
  6. operating Ryanair’s business in a commercially efficient manner so that Ryanair can ensure that it can continue to provide competitive fares and prices.
  7. Fulfilling Ryanair’s safety and security obligations related to crew and passenger safety and air travel;

In addition, we rely on your explicit consent for Express Verification. You do not have to use Express Verification and can choose Standard Verification or In-person Verification at the airport.
