LEGAL & PRIVACY

1. What is a Privacy Notice?

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Notice applies when you visit or use our websites, apps and other services, including events, that refer or link to this privacy policy (each, a “Service”). This privacy Notice may be supplemented by additional privacy statements, terms or notices provided to you. When we process your personal data we will comply with relevant data protection and privacy legislation.

Your personal data includes all the information we hold that identifies you or is about you. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). More information about the types of personal data we collect from you is set out below.

Everything we do with your personal data counts as processing it, including collecting, storing, amending, transferring and deleting it. We will comply with the relevant legislation to make sure that your information is properly protected and used appropriately.

2. Who are we?

Mountfitchet Limited is made up of different legal entities and this Privacy Notice is issued on behalf of the Air Charter Service group so when we mention “Air Charter Service”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Privacy Notice, we are referring to the relevant company in this group that is responsible for processing your data. 

Mountfitchet Limited (company registration number: 09900645) of Millbank House, 171-185 Ewell Road, Surbiton, Surrey, KT6 6AP, United Kingdom and its affiliates (including The Travel Division Ltd with company registration number: 08697954) are all deemed data controllers. However, where Air Charter Service is provided with information from a third party or a customer relating to a passenger that we are arranging a charter for we are data processors and will only process such data in accordance with the third party’s or the customer’s instructions.

3. What personal data do we collect?

Customers

When you purchase a service, purchase a product, contact us or complete an online form, we may collect a variety of information, including, but not limited to; your name, title, job title, mailing address, telephone number, email address, passport details, credit/debit card or bank details.

We process most of your information on the grounds of the fulfilment of our contract with you, namely to confirm your order, contact you about delivery of services, arrange for your payment to be processed and provide you with the products you have purchased. We may also use your personal data for our legitimate interests, including for the purposes of fraud protection and for training and quality.

Special category data is a category of personal data which requires more protection because it is sensitive in terms of applicable law, such as data concerning health.

Health data will only be processed for the purposes of ensuring your safety prior, during and after a flight, and where we have received your consent. By providing this sensitive personal data to us, you explicitly agree that we may collect, use, share with third parties (such as airlines) and transfer such data.

Website Visitors

Where you use the website https://www.aircharter.sg, in order to improve the Website and the products and services we offer, we may collect technical data such as IP addresses and cookie ID. For more information around how we use cookies please see our Cookie Policy.

Suppliers, Business Contacts and Visitors to our Premises

If you work for one of our suppliers or are one of our business contacts, we usually process your name and business contact details, such as your business email address and phone number and the address of your organisation. We process the information on the grounds of our legitimate interests in maintaining our relationship with you or in limited circumstances, on the grounds of fulfilment of a contract with you or to comply with a legal obligation imposed on us.

We use CCTV in and around our premises for the purposes of crime prevention, detection and security. We retain CCTV images for 30 days at which point they are deleted.

Candidates

If you apply for a job vacancy with us, or speculatively send us your CV, the personal data that we are likely to process about you includes:

  • Identity data such as your first name, middle names, surname, marital status, title, date of birth and gender;
  • Contact data such as your postal address, email address and telephone numbers;
  • Background data regarding your education, career backgrounds and work experience;
  • Personal information regarding your skills and qualifications; and
  • Any other information that you include in your CV, application or covering letter you send to us.

We process your information on the grounds of our legitimate interests to determine whether or not we have a suitable vacancy for you. To the extent we need to process special categories of data about you (for example, to ensure our premises are suitably equipped for you if you attend for an interview), we will do so in accordance with our legal obligations. If you provide special categories of data to us which we have not requested, we will process it on the grounds of your consent because you have voluntarily provided the information to us.

4. How is personal data collected?

You can unsubscribe to our marketing communications at any time, either by clicking “unsubscribe” in any marketing email we send to you or by contacting us using the contact details at the end of this Privacy Notice.

6. How long do we keep personal data?

Customers

Your personal data is retained for the duration of our relationship with you, or no more than 6 years from the date you place your order. This enables us to deal with maintaining business and financial records, resolving disputes or warranties. After that date your personal data will be deleted or anonymised so that it is no longer personally identifiable. Your information will be kept securely at all times.

Suppliers and Business Contacts

Your personal data is retained for the duration of our relationship with you or the organisation for which you work. Please let us know if you leave the organisation or if your details change. If we receive notification from you or your organisation that you no longer work at that organisation, or if we no longer maintain a working relationship with your organisation, we will delete your information from our system.

If we are corresponding with you as a potential supplier, we will retain your details until we receive notification from you or your organisation that you no longer work at that organisation or until we no longer correspond with the organisation for which you work.

Candidates

If you are successful, we will retain your personal data in line with our employee facing privacy policy, a copy of which will be provided to you. If you are unsuccessful, generally we will retain your application, CV and/or covering letter and any other personal data you provided to us for 1 year (6 months for Sao Paulo and Mexico) from the date we reach our decision in case any other suitable roles arise in which we think you may be interested, or in case you have any questions about our decision. After that date, your personal data will be permanently deleted or destroyed.

Further to the above, we retain your personal data as long as it is necessary and relevant for our operations. Generally, we keep personal data in accordance with our internal retention procedures, which are determined in accordance with our regulatory obligations and good practice. In addition, we may retain personal data relating to previous booking activity to comply with national laws, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, and take other actions permitted or required by applicable national laws.

After it is no longer necessary for us to retain your personal data, we anonymise part of the data for analytical purposes and dispose of the rest in a secure manner. If you have any questions in relation to our retention periods, please contact us at dataprotection@aircharterservice.com
