When you visit our website atgtravel.com (the “Website”), use our applications, as the case may be (the “Apps”) and more generally, use any of our services (the “Services”, which include the Website and Apps), we appreciate that you are trusting us with your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy notice, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it and what rights you have in relation to it. We hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important.

This privacy notice applies to all information collected through our Services (which, as described above, includes our Website and Apps), as well as, any related services, sales, marketing or events. If there are any terms in this privacy notice that you do not agree with, please let us know immediately. Contact the compliance officers at compliance@atgtravel.com or your contact at ATG.

2) Scope of this Policy

This Notice applies to ATG’s travel‑management, meetings & events, and related services provided to corporate clients and their travelers/attendees, as well as to visitors of our websites, portals, and mobile applications that link to this Notice. It explains what personal data we collect, how and why we use it, with whom we share it, the legal bases we rely on, how long we keep it, international transfers, and your rights.

3) Categories of personal data we process

Depending on the services you use and your company’s travel policy, we may process:

  • Identity & contact data (name, title, business contact details, employer, employee ID).
  • Travel documentation & identifiers (date/place of birth; passport or ID; visa details; ticket/PNR; loyalty numbers; frequent flyer data).
  • Itinerary & trip data (segments, fare details, changes/cancellations, disruption alerts).
  • Preferences (seat, room, loyalty, ancillary choices; meal preferences that could reveal religion; assistance needs that may reveal health data).
  • Emergency contact data (name, relationship, phone/email).
  • Payments & billing (corporate card references, billing accounts, invoicing, reconciliation).
  • Meetings & events data (registration details, badges, catering, A/V needs).
  • Support interactions & quality (communications, optional call recordings for QA/training).
  • Apps (Geo-Location Information).
  • Online data (log data, IP address, device/browser metadata, analytics cookies; see Section 11).

 

4) Where and how we obtain data

  • Your employer/corporate client (authorized traveler lists; policy rules; approved profiles).
  • You (profile forms, OBT entries, calls/chats/emails, event registrations).
  • Online Booking Tools (OBTs) and Global Distribution Systems (GDSs) integrated for inventory and booking.
  • Travel suppliers & service partners (airlines, hotels, rail, car/ground, security providers).
  • Public/third‑party sources for contact enrichment or compliance checks (e.g., sanctions screening).

Traveler Profiles and Data Received from Corporate Clients

Upon entering into a commercial agreement with a corporate client, ATG typically receives a list of employees authorized to travel. This list generally includes minimal personal information such as the traveler’s name, business email address, business address, employee identification number, and job title. ATG uses this information to create an online *self‑service Traveler Profile* within its proprietary Profile Management database.

Once the Traveler Profile is activated, additional personal information required for travel management services may be provided either directly by the traveler or by a designated travel arranger, in accordance with the corporate client’s travel policy and ATG’s applicable terms of use. Where fields involve *special categories of personal data* (such as information revealing health or religious preferences), ATG displays a consent notice alongside the relevant field and processes such information only after obtaining explicit consent, where required under applicable law.

Traveler Profile information may also be populated through data transmitted by an online booking tool (OBT) service provider, when such integration has been selected or requested by the corporate client as part of its travel program.

Meetings & Events Attendee Information

When organizing meetings or events on behalf of its corporate clients, ATG receives limited personal information about attendees. This typically includes the attendee’s name, surname, contact details, organization, job title, and country of residence. ATG may also receive attendee data through third‑party booking or registration platforms used by, or contracted on behalf of, the corporate client.

5) Purposes & our lawful bases for processing

6) Special category data & sensitive information

Travel sometimes requires processing special category data (e.g., meal preferences revealing religion; health‑related assistance). Where required by GDPR or equivalent applicable legislation, we will ask for your explicit consent before processing such data and limit use to what is strictly necessary for your trip or event. In emergencies, we may process data to protect vital interests. We apply heightened safeguards and access controls for this category of data.

7) If you do not provide data

Where we need personal data to perform a contract (e.g., to book travel) and you do not provide it, we may be unable to deliver the requested services. We will tell you when data is mandatory.

8) Recipients — who we share data with

We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share your data that we hold based on the following legal basis:

  • Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose.
  • Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.
  • Performance of a Contract: Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract.
  • Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
  • Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

We share data strictly on a need‑to‑know basis with:

  • Travel suppliers: airlines, hotels, rail, car/ground, travel insurance, lounges/ancillaries.
  • GDS platforms (General Distribution Systems) & OBT providers (Online Booking Tools) to search inventory, issue tickets, and manage traveler profiles.
  • Event service providers: registration platforms, badge/printing, caterers, A/V.
  • Payment & billing partners: card networks, acquirers, invoicing and reconciliation providers.
  • Safety & security partners: incident alerting and traveler‑tracking providers as per client program.
  • Government authorities: where required by law (e.g., immigration, security, tax).
  • IT/sub‑processors: hosting, platform maintenance, support, backup, security, booking and managing travel related services —acting on our instructions under data‑processing terms.
  • Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honor this privacy notice. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.

We require all recipients to implement appropriate confidentiality and security measures and, where they act as processors, to process data only per our written instructions.

Our corporate clients may request us to share traveler or attendee information with designated third-parties of their choice, in connection with the products and services we provide.

ATG uses third-party sub-contractors for the management of its information technology tools and platforms. Such subcontractors may access your personal data but only for, on behalf of, and under the instructions of ATG, and are required to adhere to ATG policies, procedures and processes and to comply with applicable data privacy laws.

ATG reserves the right to disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law.

In accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act, ATG has not sold any personal information.

9) International data transfers

Because travel is inherently global, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EEA/UK internally within the ATG group, its affiliates and joint-ventures, and externally to its global partners and third-party providers. Where such transfers occur, we implement appropriate safeguards such as European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or UK IDTA/Addendum, adequacy decisions where available, and other lawful mechanisms recognized under GDPR.

Where a recipient participates in the EU‑U.S. Data Privacy Framework, we may rely on their certification where appropriate. We also assess transfers case‑by‑case and apply additional technical/organizational measures as needed.

10) How long we keep data (retention)

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, including: delivering services, responding to itinerary/history inquiries, complying with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, and establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims. Retention periods vary by data type, service, and legal requirements. Upon request, we will provide our retention criteria or applicable schedules and, where feasible, delete or anonymize data when it is no longer required.

11) Cookies & similar technologies

Our websites and apps use necessary cookies to function and, where you consent, analytics and marketing cookies to measure usage and improve services. You can manage preferences through our Cookie Banner (shown on first visit and available thereafter via ‘Cookie Settings’), where you can grant or withdraw consent at any time.
