EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Complaints
In compliance with the EU-US and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles, Fareportal commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information transferred
to the United States pursuant to the Privacy Shield Principles. European Union or Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy should first contact Fareportal at

Fareportal has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the Privacy Shield Principles to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, the BBB EU PRIVACY SHIELD, operated by the

If your Privacy Shield complaint cannot be resolved through the above channels, under certain conditions, you may invoke binding arbitration for some residual claims not resolved by other redress mechanisms.

Onward Transfer to Third Parties
Like many businesses, we hire other companies to perform certain business-related services. We may disclose personal information to certain types of third party companies but only to the extent needed
to enable them to provide such services. The types of companies that may receive personal information and their functions are: hosting services, technical assistance, database management/back-up services,
information security and fraud detection services, analytics and marketing providers, and contact centers. All such third parties function as our agents, performing services at our instruction and on our behalf
pursuant to contracts which require they provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by this Privacy Policy and implemented by Fareportal. We may also disclose personal information to
our affiliates in order to support marketing, sale and delivery of any services.
In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Fareportal’s accountability for personal data that it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles. In particular,
Fareportal remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if third-party agents that it engages to process the personal data on its behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the Principles,
unless Fareportal proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Opt-In and Opt-Out to Certain Onward Transfers
Individuals have the opportunity to opt-out of sharing of their personal data with third parties other than our agents or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or
subsequently authorized. To limit the use and disclosure of your personal information, please submit a written request to feedback@CheapOair.com, with the subject line “Privacy Shield.”
We will not disclose your sensitive personal information to any third party without first obtaining your opt-in consent. You may provide your consent by sending us an email at feedback@CheapOair.com.
In each instance, please allow us a reasonable time to process your response.
Your Privacy Shield Rights
Upon request to feedback@CheapOair.com with the subject line, “Privacy Shield,” we will provide you with confirmation as to whether we are processing your personal data pursuant to the Privacy Shield, and have such data communicated to you within a reasonable time. You have the right to access, correct, amend, or delete the personal data processed pursuant to the Privacy Shield where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of our privacy disclosures to you. We may require payment of a non-excessive fee to defray our expenses in this regard. Please allow us a reasonable time to respond to your inquiries and requests.
Retention of Personal Information
We will retain the personal information processed pursuant to the Privacy Shield in a form that identifies you pursuant to our retention policy above. We may continue processing such personal information for longer periods, but only for the time and to the extent such processing reasonably serves the purposes of archiving in the public interest, journalism, literature and art, scientific or historical research and statistical analysis, and subject to the protection of our privacy disclosures. After such time periods have expired, we may either delete your personal information or retain it in a form such that it does not identify you personally.
How We Protect Your Information
Fareportal takes very seriously the security and privacy of the personal information that it collects pursuant to the Privacy Shield. Accordingly, we will implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in processing and the nature of such data, and comply with applicable laws and regulations.
