Notification about the collection and use of personal information
1. Purpose of collection and Use of Information
We use your information to fulfil our contract of carriage with you or otherwise deliver any other products or services you have requested for or signed up to, and to administer your Scoot Register User account, and your membership with our KrisFlyer programme and/or our corporate travel programme for small and medium enterprises. We only use your passport number and other national identification information where this is required by law, or where we need to verify individual identities to a high degree of fidelity to prevent fraudulent claims or transactions. We will only do so where we have assessed that there is no suitable alternative to collecting or using such national identification information, and that a failure to accurately identify an individual to a high degree of fidelity could pose significant safety or security risks, or a risk of significant impact or harm to any individuals or to us.
2. Particulars of personal information to be collected
Essential information
We collect information when you purchase flights or other products on our website, mobile application or when you travel with us, such as your contact details, travel information and credit card details. Your failure to provide such information may cause your inability to use our services normally.
Such essential information may include (but is not limited to) the following:
- Passenger details
- Contact details
- Payment details
Additional information may be mandatory if you are flying to a specific country, or if you are flying on behalf of a business registered in a specific country. These mandatory fields will be clear when you make a booking.
Optional information
We also collect information about your preferences (at your option) from your interactions with our in-flight and ground-based staff, and from specific requests you make. In addition, we collect device and technical information from you, and any other information you may submit when you use our website or mobile application. Refusing to provide such optional information will only render the relevant special feature unavailable to you, but will not affect your use of our basic services.
3. Period for retaining and using personal information
We will retain Customer Data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, our legal or business purposes, or as required by relevant laws. We will usually keep your Customer Data for up to 7 years to ensure that any contractual disputes can be addressed. This includes standing requests which contain sensitive personal data about yourself, e.g. a standing request that you wish to receive a halal meal or a wheelchair at the airport on all flights with us. You can amend your standing request at any time to change your preferences in the future.
Where required under applicable local laws or specific legislation, please note that the retention period for such personal data may be for a longer or shorter period than 7 years.
4. Refusal of Consent to Collection and Use of Personal Information
You may choose not to provide consent to the collection and use of personal information. However, if you refuse to provide consent regarding essential information you may not be able to use our services normally.
If you refuse to provide consent regarding optional information, you will not be able to use services or part of the services which the optional information relates to, but this will not affect your use of our basic services.
If you would like to exercise your rights or require more information or clarification, please contact us at privacy@flyscoot.com.
