PRIVACY POLICY

Types of Customer Data
The types of Customer Data that Tradewinds Tours and Travel Private Limited ("Tradewinds") collects depend on the circumstances of the collection and on the nature of the service requested or transaction undertaken. There are two broad categories of Customer Data which Tradewinds collects:

  • Individual "Customer Data" which is personal information that links back to an individual e.g. name, address, phone number, email address and credit card information.
  • Behavioural Data e.g. number of passengers flown, hits to website. This is stored purely for analytical purposes, and is entirely anonymous. This information will not be stored to your customer record, and will only be aggregated for statistical analysis so that Tradewinds can better understand our customer profile and improve our service offering.

Accountability
All Customer Data collected will be used and processed in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Purpose For Collection, Processing and Disclosure
Generally, Tradewinds collects Customer Data to fulfill the following purposes:

  • Providing services to you such as processing a transaction e.g. making a booking
  • Marketing and communicating with you in relation to products and services offered by Tradewinds and service partners. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, users may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email.
  • Safety, security and legal compliance
Tradewinds will not disclose, share, transfer, sell or rent Customer Data to any 3rd party unless such disclosure is strictly necessary for the performance of the services to be rendered to you. In this regard, Tradewinds will ensure that the 3rd party to whom Customer Data has been disclosed, observe and adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tradewinds may disclose Customer Data to our lawyers and legal advisors for establishing, exercising or defending our legal rights or as otherwise authorised or required by law. Tradewinds will also reserve the right to share your Customer Data in the event of an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of an individual. Further, Tradewinds may disclose Customer Data, as is necessary, to investigate suspected unlawful activities.

Retention of Customer Data
Tradewinds will retain your Customer Data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by relevant laws.

Accuracy
Tradewinds needs your assistance to ensure that your Customer Data is current, complete and accurate. As such, please inform Tradewinds of changes to your Customer Data by contacting us and putting it in writing (please refer to "Contact Us").

Individual Access and Correction
Tradewinds allows our customers the right to access their personal information. Customers can access their personal information by using their respective username and password to gain access to their personal information.

If your personal information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update or remove your personal data at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support (please refer to "Contact Us").

As additional security features, Tradewinds has implemented a time stamp showing the time you have been on our websites and the last time you logged out. If you detect any anomalies you should inform us immediately (please refer to "Contact Us"). Tradewinds has also provided a lock out feature in the event you fail to log in successfully after a number of attempts. Also, if you leave our website idle for a period of time, we will give you a "warning" dialogue box giving you the option to end your session.
