Amadeus Data Privacy Statement

Amadeus Data Privacy Statement

At amadeus.com, a site operated by Amadeus IT Group, S.A., we respect your privacy.

This statement outlines Amadeus' policy on the privacy of individuals whose data are processed and/or stored by Amadeus as a result of our provision of services to the travel and tourism industry. This statement also applies for data collected via this website. Amadeus may include links on this website which lead to other parties' websites which are not covered by this privacy statement.

This privacy statement explains how we collect data about customers of the travel and tourism industry and users of this website, how we use that data, and to whom that data might be sent.

What kind of data does Amadeus collect and how do we collect data about you and your use of the website?

  • Amadeus obtains consumer information from travel agencies, airlines, travel suppliers, corporate travel departments, and other travel related companies with which Amadeus has a legal or business relationship.
    Information collected includes names, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, credit card information, and certain preferences you have depending on the services or information you request.
  • Information may be also collected when you visit the Amadeus.com website. In this regard, we also ask you for personal information in a variety of circumstances:
    • when you register with us, subscribe to our newsletter, enter competitions or register for promotions; or
    • when you take part in surveys or provide us with feedback.

How do we use/process your data?

Personal data will be processed in accordance with applicable local law and regulations regarding data privacy.

Personal data will be processed, stored and disclosed only for business purposes as described below.

We may use your data for the following purposes:

  • to provide you with the highest possible level of service and to help you to obtain the best service from our website;
  • to notify you about our products and services, special offers and promotions and any other marketing materials which we think may interest you;
  • for other administrative purposes and for internal analysis; and
  • to participate as part of a survey or to get feedback.

Non-personal data may be used to compile and analyze travel trends and/or other demographic information. 

To whom may your data be disclosed?

If you are a travel and tourism customer, we will disclose your data to our partners for fulfillment of your booking requests.

We will not disclose your data to any third parties except where necessary for the purposes of fulfilling any bookings, purchases or requests that you make on the website, through our customer service team, for credit checks or fraud prevention, or as otherwise described in this statement. We may disclose your information if required by any applicable law, subpoena, or regulation. We may also disclose your data to third parties and professional advisors acting on our behalf who are obliged to keep that data confidential.

How do we secure your data?

Personal data will be safeguarded from unauthorised use, disclosure, destruction and alteration by physical, technical and organisational security measures that are appropriate to the risks, such as accidental loss or damage or unauthorised access, presented by the processing.

Security offered on this website is based on a technology called Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") which lets your browser automatically encrypt or scramble your data before you send it to us.

Transfer of information and Third Party Processing

Where a third party is used to process personal data on behalf of a member of the Amadeus Group, the third party will be obliged to take measures to protect that personal data.

If it is necessary to transfer your data to another company (e.g. for the purpose of fulfilling your booking) then we will instruct such companies to process your personal data in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. We will also take any other required measures to ensure that such transfer is lawful.
