In the first instance, when individuals acting on behalf of their respective organizations - who are clients of Airpulsez - provide us with personal information, we will handle your data in accordance with our obligations.

Travel services that are purchased for you by your employer/travel sponsor through Airpulsez as an agent will be handled by the service provider. They will be responsible for safeguarding any personal data they receive and complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

By agreeing to provide your personal information, you are giving consent for this Notice to apply and for us to handle your information accordingly. This includes collecting, using and disclosing your personal information as outlined in this Notice. If you do not consent to any aspect of this Notice, please refrain from providing us with your personal information. It is important to note that not providing us with your personal information or withdrawing consent may impact our ability to provide services to you. For instance, when making travel arrangements, the traveller's full name, contact details, and appropriate identification (such as passport details) are required. Without this information, we will be unable to make bookings on your behalf.

This includes utilizing your personal information for both internal reasons outlined in this Notice, as well as on behalf of the service provider.

We value your privacy and assure you that your information will be used responsibly. Rest assured, we will only share your information with our trusted travel service providers- such as hotels, airlines, and car rental companies- who help fulfill your travel bookings. However, please keep in mind that these service providers may also use your personal information according to their own privacy policies.

8. The Transfer of Data Outside of the Country

At Airpulsez, we sometimes need to share your personal data with our local TMC partners and service providers in order to fulfill a contract between you, your company, or travel sponsor. This may require us to transfer your data outside of national boundaries, including the European Economic Area (EEA). Rest assured that your information is secure no matter where it goes.

Several Service Providers operate outside the designated national borders, including those in the EEA. This means that your personal data may be transferred when they process it. When we transfer your personal data abroad, we take measures to ensure it receives a comparable level of protection. This includes implementing at least one of the following safeguards:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been designated as having sufficient safeguards for protecting personal information.
  • In cases where we utilize particular service providers, we ensure that contractual agreements are in place to provide the same level of personal data protection that we strictly adhere to.

It is important to note that your information may be sent to an overseas recipient, excluding any of our overseas related entities. This recipient may be located in a jurisdiction where you cannot seek legal remedies under your local data protection laws and may not have the same level of data protection as in your jurisdiction. Accordingly, we will not be responsible for any actions taken by these overseas recipients in handling, storing, and processing your personal information, subject to the limitations set by your local data protection laws.

9. Data Security

Maintaining the safety of important information is crucial, and data security measures have been implemented to safeguard your personal data and prevent any potential accidental loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

9.1 Site Access Control

9.2 Access Control Mechanisms for the System

Ensure that data processing systems are not accessed without proper authorization.

9.3 Data Access Control

The concept of data access control plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and security of sensitive information. It is essential to have proper measures in place to restrict unauthorized access to data, as this helps prevent potential breaches and maintain confidentiality. It is crucial to restrict individuals who are permitted to use a data processing system from accessing any data that they are not authorized to view. Additionally, it is important to prevent any unauthorized actions such as reading, copying, modifying, or removing data during the entire process of handling and storing it.

9.4 Transmission Control

Determine the recipients and destinations to which data may be transferred using transmission methods.

9.5 Input Control

Input control refers to how information is entered into the system and ensuring that it is accurate and valid. Conduct routine checks and upkeep of audit logs to determine if any data has been entered, modified, or removed from the data processing system and by whom.

9.6 Control of Orders

Make sure that any personal information handled on behalf of a customer is done so strictly in accordance with their instructions.

9.7 Availability Control

Availability control is a vital aspect in ensuring the accessibility and reliability of services. Make sure data is safeguarded from unintended deletion or misplacement.

9.8 Management of Notifications

Promptly notify the customer in case of a significant breach of any of the aforementioned controls. Any instance of confidential data breach will be notified to the customer within 72 hours of discovering such occurrence.

10. Data Retention

Data retention refers to the storage of data for a specified period of time. This can include any type of information, such as personal or business-related data.

We will retain your personal data for the duration necessary to fulfill the intended purposes, which may include satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. The retention period is determined based on the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, potential risks associated with unauthorized access or disclosure, our processing purposes and possible alternative methods, as well as any relevant legal requirements.

As required by law, we are obligated to retain fundamental details of our clients, such as their contact information, identity, financial records, and transaction history. The duration of this retention period is determined by the regulations in each country and typically spans between six to seven years for tax purposes. However, there may be instances where you can request for your personal data to be anonymized after a certain period of non-utilization of our services.

11. Your Entitlements

In specific situations, data protection laws grant you certain rights regarding your personal information. These include the right to:

  • Request Access: You can make a request for your personal data, also known as a "data subject access request." This allows you to obtain a copy of the personal data we have on file for you and ensure that it is being lawfully processed.
  • Request Rectification: If you believe any of the personal information we have about you is incorrect, please let us know. We want to ensure your data is accurate and up-to-date, so we may ask you to confirm the accuracy of any updates or corrections.
  • Request Erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data. This means you can ask us to delete or remove it if there is no valid reason for us to continue processing it. If you've objected to the processing and we've complied, or if we've processed your information unlawfully, or if local law requires us to erase your data, you can also request its deletion. However, please note that there may be legal reasons why we are unable to fulfill your request for erasure. We will inform you of these reasons, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Restriction of Processing: You can ask us to limit or cease using your personal information, or revoke consent for the processing of said information. However, this may impact our ability to offer services to you or affect the quality of services we can provide. For instance, when making travel arrangements, we need to use your full name, contact information, and proper identification (such as passport details). Without this information, we will be unable to make bookings on your behalf.
