AviLabs & Plan3 Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting your safety and privacy, and we take our responsibilities regarding the protection of personal information seriously.

As you use and interact with AviLabs websites, products, and services, we process information from and about you in order to provide you with access to our tools, and to enhance experience and support. That means that we collect, use, and process your information. This privacy policy explains which data we collect, how we use it, how we protect and which rights you have in relation to our processing of your personal data.

1. Who we are

Avilabs is in the business of providing disruption management software and related services to airlines and develops, maintains, operates, and markets a flight monitoring and disruption handling software for the travel industry called Plan3. Therefore, AviLabs is the company behind the Plan3 product.

Any references in this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) to “AviLabs” “we”, “us” or “our” means AviLabs ehf., a company registered in Iceland with registration number no. 5208192150 and registered office at Nóatún 17, 105 Reykjavik, Iceland.

2. Our relationship with you

Whether we are a data processor or a data controller will depend on our relationship with you. We will be a data processor:

• when you are a company which has signed up to use the Plan3 product (and are therefore subject to our Terms) and you are uploading personal information of your customer/passengers to the Plan3 product. In this case, you will be the data controller of such personal data, while we will be the data processor. Our Data Processing Addendum will govern such data processing – not this Privacy Policy.
• when you are an individual who has had his personal information uploaded to the Plan3 product by our customer (usually an airline or another travel company who has provided services to you). In this case, our customer is the controller of your information while we are the processor. In other words, our customer (e.g. an airline you’ve flown with) will send us your personal information, and we will be a process your personal data on their behalf, as they decide how any why your information is processed. We recommend that you visit the controller’s own privacy policy for further information about your relationship with him. However, we’ve put together a Processor Privacy Policy which which will apply to our processing of your data.

In all other cases when it comes to personal data collected, we will be the “data controller” for the purposes of the Icelandic Data Protection Act and other data protection laws that apply to us, like the EU General Data Protection regulation (the “GDPR”). This will include when:

• you visit our webpages, e.g. www.avilabs.is or plan3.aero;
• if you create an account with us to use access the Plan3 product;
• when you use the Plan3 account;
• if you sign up for any marketing materials or email lists;
• if you send us your employment application (where our Employment Application Privacy Policy shall apply); or
• if you otherwise communicate with us.

This Privacy Policy only applies when we are the data controller. my review hereshopscontinue reading
