ABT Privacy Policy
You have elected to use ABT Global Business Travel Management to manage your business travel processes. In order to fully benefit from the company's services, you will be required to provide certain personal information, such as name, credit card number and expiration date, credit card billing address, telephone number, e-mail address, frequent traveler numbers, your travel preferences and more. This information is required in order for us to process, fulfill and confirm your reservations and transactions and keep you informed of each transaction's status. We are aware that sharing such personal information with us involves a great deal of trust. We take this trust very seriously, and make it our highest priority to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal information you provide to us. This notice describes our privacy statement. By using ABT, you are accepting the practices described in this Terms of Use and Privacy Notice. If you do not accept any of the terms and conditions stated herein, do not use ABT. Please note that we review this Statement from time to time, and we may make periodic changes to it. Your continued use of our company's services following the amendments shall constitute your acceptance of the amendments.
Your Personal Profile
When you start working with ABT, we request a basic set of your personal details, including name, ID, contact information, travel preferences, frequent traveler program data, passport and visa information, preferred travel suppliers and your credit card details. We intend to use the data provided to us above to assist us with the delivery of products and services according to your requests. Your information may also be used to contact you when necessary and may be shared with other companies that may need to contact you, consistent with your preferences and approval. Your email address will be used by your travel consultant to communicate with you regarding your trips and other travel processes and to send you your travel itineraries. In addition, as an ABT client, you may occasionally receive a newsletter, updates or other noteworthy news items from us. However, at any time you may opt out from receiving our newsletter or similar services through the Unsubscribe link placed at the bottom of each such communication.
With whom your personal information is shared
ABT does not sell or give away individual customer names or other private profile information to third parties and has no intention of doing so in the future. However, when you reserve a travel through ABT, we must provide information about you to the airline, car rental agency, hotel or other involved third party to ensure the successful fulfillment of your travel arrangements. We must also share your personal information among certain of our affiliate global CRSs (Computerized Reservation Systems). For the Privacy policy of the CRS companies, see their respective websites. Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private.
Security
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. ABT uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, such as firewalls, system security measures and Secure Socket Layers (SSL) from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Please be advised that "perfect security" does not exist in commercial Internet applications and that such security measures may not prevent all loss, misuse or alteration of information on our web sites.
A Warning about "Phishing"
We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, login name, or password, in an unsecure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. Identity theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great concern to us. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is our priority. For more information about phishing, you may want to visit the Federal Trade Commission at .http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/phishingalrt.htm
