For this purpose, a data processing authorization form has been implemented, which must be completed by the data subject at the time they provide their personal information. This authorization explains the scope and purposes of the processing of personal data, refers to authorization by others, data of minors, and sensitive data, and also defines the service channel for data subjects who wish to exercise the rights contemplated within habeas data, and indicates the location where this policy is hosted. For the purposes of data processing, AVIANET employs all activities aimed at maintaining the confidentiality of the information. Authorization will be obtained through any means that can be subsequently consulted, such as the website, forms, formats, in-person activities, or through social media, etc. Authorization may also be obtained from unequivocal conduct by the data subject that allows us to reasonably conclude that they have granted authorization for the processing of their information. • If you provide us with personal information about a person other than yourself, such as your spouse or a coworker, we understand that you have that person's authorization to provide us with their data; and we do not verify, nor do we assume the obligation to verify, the identity of the user/client, or the veracity, validity, sufficiency, or authenticity of the data each of them provides. By virtue of the foregoing, we do not assume liability for damages or losses of any kind that may arise from the lack of veracity, homonymy, or impersonation of the identity information. • Since AVIANET belongs to the Aviatur Business Group, your personal information may be shared by way of transfer or transmission with group companies, business partners, and/or third-party providers (flight, hotel, and car reservation systems, transactional security validators, banks, financial networks, and tourism services). These processes may be carried out in different locations than where the purchased tourist service or product is contracted, for the same purposes indicated for the collection of personal data. These entities are required to comply with the corresponding confidentiality, transmission, or transfer agreements. • The Personal Data collected will be processed manually or automatically and incorporated into the corresponding files or databases (hereinafter, the "File"), either in the capacity of data processor or data protection officer. To determine the term of processing, the regulations applicable to each purpose and the administrative, accounting, tax, legal, and historical aspects of the information will be considered. • When the data subject is accompanied by minors or persons considered to have disabilities at the time of providing the service, and their personal data is being collected, AVIANET will always request authorization from the minor's legal representative. However, if personal information of the population mentioned here is provided without being the legal representative, you declare that you have the authorization of the respective legal representative, assuming direct responsibility for this. AVIANET will strive to ensure that their rights and best interests are respected at all times. The representative must guarantee their right to be heard and assess their opinion on the processing, taking into account the maturity, autonomy, and capacity of the minors. Representatives are informed of the optional nature of answering questions about data relating to minors. The data of minors, who fall into a special protection category, will be processed in accordance with applicable legislation and in accordance with our personal data policy. • The companies of the Aviatur Business Group have adopted the legally required levels of personal data protection security and have installed all the technical means and measures at their disposal to prevent the loss, misuse, alteration, unauthorized access, and unlawful removal of the personal data provided to AVIANET. However, the data subject should be aware that Internet security measures are not unbreakable. • If you choose to delete your information, to the extent permitted by law, we will retain certain personal information in our files for the purposes of identifying transaction data for accounting and tax purposes, preventing fraud, resolving disputes, investigating conflicts or incidents, enforcing our terms and conditions of use, and complying with legal requirements. However, once you revoke your authorization, the stored information will no longer be used for the purposes set forth herein, but only for the purposes strictly necessary and defined in the preceding paragraph. • Security risks to consider when making online transactions: • A user may be tricked by emails or DNS server fraud into visiting a fake site with the same design, but where the cardholder's data is loaded into the fake system, stealing the cardholder's information. Therefore, it is important to foster a culture where users must access known domains directly to make transactions to reduce risks. • The computer where the user is making the transaction may have spyware or malware installed without prior knowledge that captures everything typed on the keyboard or captures information from input devices and sends it to a network or host on the internet. Therefore, it is recommended that the transaction be made on a home or office computer, whenever possible. • Cardholder impersonation could occur, where the cardholder denies having sent and/or received the transaction, and the transaction is used by a third party. • It is recommended that the computer where electronic transactions are made have an updated and active antivirus program to mitigate the risk of fraud. • If the personal information was collected or provided prior to July 30, 2013, and you did not express your opposition to the transfer of your personal data, it will be understood that you have given your consent. If you wish to ratify your consent or express your refusal, you may do so by sending an email to privacidad@aviasolucioneshoteleras.com. • Like other websites, AVIANET uses certain technologies, such as cookies and device fingerprinting, which allow us to make your visit to our site easier and more efficient, providing you with personalized service and recognizing you when you return.
