DISCLOSURES OF PARTNER PERSONAL DATA  

 

We may share Partner personal data with following parties for the purposes set out in “HOW WE USE PARTNER PERSONAL DATA” above:

 

  • Other companies in the Trip.com group.
  • Third party vendors under contract to us to provide services or functions on our behalf, including financial, tax, IT and legal services, business analytics, customer service and fraud prevention.
  • Regulators and other authorities.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use Partner personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy statement.

 

If you are based in the European Economic Area (“EEA”)

 

Many of our Trip.com group entities and the external third parties above are based outside the EEA so their processing of Partner personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

 

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

 

  • We will only transfer Partner 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 Europe and the US.

 

HOW LONG WE USE PARTNER PERSONAL DATA FOR  

 

We will only retain Partner personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain Partner personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

 

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 Partner personal data, the purposes for which we process Partner personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Under certain circumstances, you may (for e.g. if you are based in Europe) have the right to:

 

  • Withdraw consent.
  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction of your personal data.
  • Request erasure of your personal data.
