The personal information is used:
  • To provide travel services and other services
  • To personalize travel/purchase experience
  • To comply with relevant authorities such as passport control and border agencies and where appropriate relevant police and customs authorities. We may also need to contact you if we have questions regarding your request

We need your assistance to ensure that your personal data is current, complete and accurate in order to provide correct booking information or flight itinerary to the appropriate customs and immigration authorities as required by law. Please contact us if any updates are necessary.

Beyond that we analyse the visits on our website with the aim to better understand our customers' needs and, based on those findings, continuously improve the online platform. To this end we save the IP addresses of our visitors' internet service providers by default. The IP address is not linked to an individual person. Within this web analysis we evaluate anonymous, 3 aggregated data for statistical purposes only. We use cookies and sessions to follow up on our visitors' preferences and to optimize the appearance of our websites.

When do we collect personal data about you?
We collect personal data about you when you use our services or products (whether directly provided by us or by another company), when you travel with us and when you use our website, call centres or mobile applications. The following are examples of when we collect personal data about you:
  • when you book or search for a flight or other products or services on our website or mobile applications
  • when you book or search for a flight or other products or services through our other sales channels, such as global distribution systems
  • when you travel with us
  • if you complete a client survey or provide us with feedback
  • if you enter a competition or register for a promotion
  • if you choose to interact with us via social media, such as Facebook.
When and why do we collect ‘sensitive personal data’?
Certain categories of personal information, such as that about race, ethnicity, religion or health, are considered ‘sensitive personal data’.

Generally, we do not ask for sensitive personal data. However, we may occasionally receive this data, because:
  • you have otherwise chosen to provide such information to us (or a third party such as the travel agent through which you made your booking)
  • you may have made other requests regarding your travel arrangements that may imply or suggest that you hold particular religious beliefs or have a particular medical condition
By providing any personal information that is or could be ‘sensitive personal information’ you explicitly give consent that we may collect, use, share with third parties and transfer it outside the European Union/EEA, as described in this Privacy and Cookie policy. If you request services by phone, you give an oral consent that we may process your personal information in order for us to provide the requested or necessary service or product to you. When ordering online or in person, JetClass will adopt an ‘opt-in' policy for obtaining customer consent, where an express written consent will be sought from you when collecting your personal information e.g. signing a form or checking a box. Where you make reservations on behalf of another person, you undertake and ensure that the individual whose personal information is supplied to JetClass has 4 authorized the disclosure, is informed and consents to the terms and conditions of this privacy and cookie policy.
If you withdraw your consent, it may mean we will not be able to provide all or parts of the services you have requested from us. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Please be aware that in these circumstances you will not be able to cancel or obtain a refund of any fees you have paid. You may at any time withdraw your consent by contacting: office@jetclass.com

Minors
JetClass cannot distinguish the age of persons who access and use our websites. If a minor (according to applicable laws) has provided us with personal information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the relevant personal information and unsubscribe the minor.

How will we use the information about you?
JetClass collects personal information either directly from you or from your authorised representatives (i.e. persons whom you have authorised), from third parties (e.g. your travel agent or our service provider), and other channels including our ticketing counters and airport operations, in order to fulfil the following purposes, which include but are not limited to:
  • providing services to you such as processing a transaction (e.g. making a booking), providing technical assistance, assisting you in the transaction, providing flight alert messages, facilitating internet check-in and self check-in, providing personalised services and responding to your enquiries or requests
  • providing airport services such as processing information relating to connecting flights, arrangements at airports, and customs and immigration facilities
  • marketing and communicating with you in relation to products and services offered by JetClass or appointed agents
  • contacting you for product or customer satisfaction surveys
  • research and analytics purposes, including market research
  • safety, security and legal compliance
The personal information is further used to provide information, news, and other business-related activities in your service.

Who will receive personal information about you?
Transfer of your personal information will only be for specific purposes to provide a seamless customer experience. In order to facilitate your travel arrangements, we will often need to share your personal information to and with our subsidiaries and affiliated companies as well as third parties including other airlines and airport operators, security personnel and travel agents involved in making your travel arrangements. We also share your personal information with third parties needed to deliver services you have requested from us, such as companies that provide airport assistance or transfers.

JetClass may also disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies and government for security, customs and immigration purposes. For example, airlines are required by laws in the United States of America and other countries to provide border control agencies with access to your booking information or flight itinerary. Accordingly, relevant personal information (known as Passenger Name Record (PNR) or Advance Passenger Information (API)) may be disclosed to the appropriate customs, immigration, and/or any other relevant authorities as required by law. Please be informed that the initial recipients of such information may share your PNR and API data with other government agencies or enforcement authorities.

Your information may be transferred outside the European Union/EEA subject to the rules described in this privacy and cookie policy. In some cases, you may have to give us consent and you should be aware that the security in such cases may not be the same as in your country of origin. The transfer will be in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

JetClass may also use and disclose your personal data to persons who have been validly identified as being you or your authorised representative(s) for the purpose of the relevant transaction or enquiry. In particular, each of the passengers who are grouped under the same Passenger Name Record (PNR) number shall be deemed to be authorised representatives of each of the other passengers under the same PNR number, for the purposes of disclosure identified in this policy, regardless of the number of persons within each group.

We share your personal information with World Ticket and other technical service providers, who are providing and hosting our ticket system. The hosting is provided by Softlayer (Europe/USA/China) Itadel (Denmark).

How long will we keep your personal information?
We only keep your personal data as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected e.g. to fulfill the obligations to deliver your travel services, the legal or business purposes of JetClass, or as required by relevant laws. We will as a general rule, delete data after 5 years, unless there are specific reasons for keeping them for a longer period.
