Privacy Policy

Personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
  
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
  

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending marketing communications to you via email. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the marketing email communication or by contacting us by email to  dataprotection@lba.co.uk or by post to Data Protection Group, Leeds Bradford Airport, Leeds, LS19 7TU.

We will collect personal data from you, when you visit our websites, buy a service or product from us, enter a competition, use our Wi-Fi service, use a social media platform to interact with us, make enquires or otherwise provide us with your personal data.

• Buying a service or product
  We may collect your name, address, email address, phone number, vehicle registration number, make, model and colour, flight details and credit or debit card details. We will use this information to supply you with the service or product, to recover debt, to help us prevent fraud and keep records about your purchases. We do not store your full payment card details on our server. We do pass your full payment card details over a secure encrypted link to our third party payment processor who processes your payment.
  
  In some circumstances, when your credit or debit card details are collected, our service providers may hold onto this information once payment has been taken in order to identify you as the purchaser at a later date, for example to allow you to get access to the car park if you have purchased your parking online. This information is kept secure in accordance with standard industry practice.

• Using our Wi-Fi service
  When you register to use our Wi-Fi service, we will collect your name, email address, date of birth and unique device ID. We may also ask you for some additional information, although you do not have to provide this, such as your flight details. Each time you use our Wi-Fi service we may collect this information, along with details about your Wi-Fi session, such as how long you were logged into the Wi-Fi. 
  
  We process your personal data on the legal basis of our legitimate interests in giving you an outstanding airport experience including providing you with the Wi-Fi service, to simplify access to the service if you are a repeat customer and return within a 24-month period, and to help us improve our service.

We only use such personal data to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide.
  
  Personal data will be stored in a secure environment for two years from closure of the complaint and then securely deleted.  
  
  If the complaint relates to a third party at the airport, for example, one of our food and beverage providers or other retailers, we may pass the personal data collected to that third party for the relevant third party to deal with you directly in relation to your complaint. Personal data will be stored in a secure environment for two years from closure of the complaint and then securely deleted.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us by email to dataprotection@lba.co.uk or by post to Data Protection Group, Leeds Bradford Airport, Leeds, LS19 7TU.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We may share your personal data with:

• Any member of our group (being our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006);
• Our service providers who operate elements of our websites, provide services and/or process personal data on our behalf. Where such disclosures are made, this will be under contractual arrangements between the relevant service provider and us and carried out in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws; and
• Third parties who provide data cleansing, profiling and matching services, so they can assist us in building our profile of you. We would do this on the basis of our legitimate interests in ensuring that personal data and marketing preferences are kept accurate and up to date; and

Third parties to whom a complaint is passed as described above. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interests in ensuring that complaints are resolved promptly to deliver a positive customer experience.

We may disclose your personal data to third parties:

• If we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
• If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets. We would do this on the basis of our legitimate interests in ensuring a continued operation of our services.
• If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
  We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We may need to store or transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and some of our external third parties are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe;
• Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our websites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Our websites use up to date industry procedures to protect your personal data. We also protect the security of your data during transmission using secure encryption protocols. We may vary this in the future if we feel you will benefit from greater security whilst using our websites.

We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you via our websites. 

We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Cookies

Third party services
We may from time to time make available through our websites certain services provided by third parties and or you may link to a third party website from our websites. Please note that these third party websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
