We are dedicated to safeguarding your personal data, booking details, and flight itineraries with enterprise-grade encryption and transparent data governance.

Effective Date: August 31, 2026 Version 4.2 (Compliant with GDPR & CCPA)

1. Information We Collect

Visa Airport is committed to protecting your personal information while providing seamless access to premium airport lounges, expedited transit services, and tailored travel reservations. We collect data in the following categories:

Direct Identification

Full name, billing address, contact phone number, valid email address, and boarding pass flight credentials required for lounge check-in.

Travel & Flight Data

Departure airport, arrival destination, flight numbers, airline carrier, lounge itinerary schedules, and specific dietary or accessibility requests.

We do not store complete payment card credentials on our servers. All transaction billing operations are encrypted and processed through certified PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant gateway partners.

2. How We Use and Process Your Information

Your personal information is processed lawfully under clear legal bases, including performance of our lounge booking contracts, compliance with international aviation protocols, and our legitimate interest in delivering a secure travel experience.

  • Lounge Reservation Fulfillment: Generating digital access passes, verifying airport terminal admittance, and confirming flight status synchronization.
  • Real-time Notifications: Sending automated electronic vouchers, booking updates, gate changes, and customer support responses.
  • Service Optimization: Reviewing platform performance, detecting technical anomalies, and updating lounge amenity descriptions based on aggregated user behavior.
  • Security & Fraud Prevention: Verifying identity credentials to prevent unauthorized account access or fraudulent transaction attempts.

3. Partner & Airport Terminal Data Sharing

Visa Airport does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers. Data is shared strictly with authorized partners solely to deliver your requested airport experiences:

Airport Lounge Operators & Ground Handlers

We transmit traveler names and booking reference codes directly to airport terminal lounge reception desks to validate entrance permissions instantly.

We may also disclose information where legally mandated by civil aviation authorities, border agencies, or judicial court orders.

4. Data Security Standards & Retention

We apply robust physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect personal data against accidental destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure:

TLS 1.3

End-to-end data encryption in transit

AES-256

Enterprise-level storage encryption

Retention Limits

Archived only as long as operationally needed

Booking records are retained for thirty-six months to comply with tax and international commercial requirements, after which records are irreversibly anonymized or securely purged.

Right of Access & Portability

You can request a complete digital copy of your personal travel records and lounge booking transactions in a machine-readable format.

Right to Rectification & Erasure

You may update incorrect contact details or request the deletion of your customer profile subject to statutory record-keeping regulations.
