This information allows us to improve the content and operation of the services, and facilitate research and analysis of the services.

 

  1. Information we collect from other sources:
    From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third-party sources (including public databases, our joint marketing partners, and social media platforms), but only where we have checked that these third-parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal information to us. The types of personal information we collect from third-parties include name, title, company name, job function, expertise, telephone number, or email address and we use the information we receive from these third-parties to improve the services, the accuracy of the records we hold about you and relevant marketing and other offers.

  • to administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature
  • to process your transactions
  • to follow up with them after correspondence (live chat, email or phone inquiries)

How do we share information we collect

Information about you is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. GVA Airport Transfer will pass personal information to third parties only for the purpose of contract fulfillment or with your consent. In particular, this includes GVA Airport Transfer passing on the information to the extent required, to transportation service providers who are to perform the transportation. Partners, who provide technical fulfillment of certain GVA Airport Transfer services, may receive certain information within information processing arrangements. In such instance, the information transmitted will be restricted to the minimum necessary. Personal information will be disclosed to state institutions and authorities only if required by law.
We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries that GVA Airport Transfer controls that either are subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy.

 

Affiliated businesses we do not control:

We work closely with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, such as marketplace and auction sellers, these businesses sell offerings to you at GVA Airport Transfer.

Customer account:

When you use our service, your personal information will be entered into our livery system in order to execute the service operations. We will hold your personal information, service history and payment transactions, your service data and your user profile may be viewed by our administrators only.

Business transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing GVA Airport Transfer Privacy Policies (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise).

Protection of GVA Airport Transfer and others: 

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our terms of service and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of GVA Airport Transfer, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Service providers:

We work with third-party service providers to provide website and application development, hosting, maintenance, backup, storage, virtual infrastructure, payment processing, analysis and other services for us, which may require them to access or use information about you. If a service provider needs to access information about you to perform services on our behalf, they do so under close instruction from us, including policies and procedures designed to protect your information.

GVA Airport Transfer partners: We work with third parties who provide consulting, sales, and technical services to deliver and implement customer solutions around the services. We may share your information with these third parties in connection with their services, such as to assist with billing and collections, to provide localized support, and to provide customizations. We may also share information with these third parties where you have agreed to that sharing.

Links to third party sites: The services may include links that direct you to other websites or services whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you submit information to any of those third party sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

 

Social media: Some of our services contain widgets and social media features, such as the Twitter “tweet” button. These widgets and features collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the services, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Widgets and social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

With your consent: We share information about you with third parties when you give us consent to do so. For example, we often display personal testimonials of satisfied customers on our public websites. With your consent, we may post your name alongside the testimonial.

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third-parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

 

Legitimate uses of your personal information

GVA Airport Transfer uses the following bases for legitimate uses of your personal information:

  1. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you
    When you buy a service from us, create an account or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.
    In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.
    We may use it in order to:

    1. verify your identity for security purposes;
    2. sell our service to you;
    3. provide you with our service;
    4. provide you with suggestions and advice on products and services, and how to obtain the most from using our website.

We process this information on the basis of a contract between us, or your request to use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

  1. Information we process with your consent
    When you provide your consent to us to process information that is personal information, we obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies, send you offer opportunities or send you various marketing emails. Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide us with performance information, for example to monitor the performance of a particular page on our websites. We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.
    You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us by email at info@gvaairporttransfer.com
    However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services properly.

 

  1. Information we process for the purposes of legitimate interests
    We may process your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests. Where we process your personal information on this basis, we do so after having given careful consideration to:

    1. whether the same objective could be achieved through other means,
    2. whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm,
    3. whether you would expect us to process your information, and whether you would, in the round, consider it reasonable to do so.

For example, we may process your information for the purposes of:

    1. record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of our business,
    2. responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you would expect a response,
    3. protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party,
    4. insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk,
    5. protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so.

 

  1. Information we process because we have a legal obligation
    We are subject to the law like everyone else. Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.
    For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorization such as a search warrant or court order.
    This may include your personal information. If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then we will immediately stop processing your information.
    If the basis changes then if required by law, we will notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we can continue to process your information.

How do we store and secure information we collect

GVA Airport Transfer constantly strives to use all appropriate technical and organizational measures to process personal information in such a way that they are safe and, above all, cannot be accessed by unauthorized persons. In this respect, GVA Airport Transfer expressly points out that when communicating by email, complete data security cannot be ensured.
Our websites are scanned on a regular basis for security problems and vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our sites as safe as possible.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order, enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.
All interactions with our services use the Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) protocol. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates to verify our identity to your browser and to encrypt any information you give us. Whenever information is transferred between us, you can check that it is done so using SSL, by looking for a closed padlock symbol or other trust mark in your browser’s URL bar or toolbar.

 

We use a third-party, industry-accepted Payment Gateway to securely process credit/debit card transactions. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

 

Where is your personal information stored?

The personal information that we collect from you as a data processor is stored inside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) on ISO 27001 accredited hosting services. As a data processor, all of the customer information provided by you is stored inside the EEA on secure password encrypted servers. Should your personal information be processed by any of our GDPR-compliant service providers, in order to fulfil our services to you, that are based outside of the EEA – your information and the transfer is protected under the EU-US Privacy Shield framework.

 

How to access and control your information

Upon request, you will receive information about your personal information stored free of charge.
Furthermore, you have the right to access and update, delete or, if incorrect, to correct, your personal information.

Any consent given is revocable at any time. Offer opportunities, customer experience surveys and other marketing emails can also be unsubscribed from via a respective link provided in the email or websites, or by contacting us via email at info@gvaairporttransfer.com
We will respond to your request to access, update, modify or delete your information within a month. Before we provide you with any information, correct any inaccuracies or delete any information, we will ask you to verify your identity.

 

You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your personal information. Below is a summary of those choices, how to exercise them and any limitations.

Request that we stop using your information:

 

In some cases, you may ask us to stop accessing, storing, using and otherwise processing your information where you believe we don’t have the appropriate rights to do so. For example, if you believe a customer account was created for you without your permission or you are no longer an active user, you can request that we delete your account as provided in this policy. You can also opt out of our use of your information for marketing purposes by contacting us. When you make such requests, we may need time to investigate and facilitate your request. If there is a delay or dispute as to whether we have the right to continue using your information, we will restrict any further use of your information until the request is honored or the dispute is resolved.

Opt out of communications:

You may opt out of receiving offer opportunities, customer experience surveys and other marketing emails from us by using the unsubscribe link within each email or by contacting us at info@gvaairporttransfer.com.
Even after you opt out from receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive operational messages from us regarding our services.
