The types of Personal Information we may collect (directly from you or Third Parties) depend on the nature of the relationship that you have with Aerlink and the requirements of applicable law. We collect only information relevant for Processing. We do not engage in automated decision-making when Processing your Personal Information. Below are the legal bases for Processing Personal Information, some of the ways we collect information and how we use it.

In such cases, personal identifiers such as names are redacted from the records.

When using these resources, you should consider what Personal Information you share with others.

Information from Third-Party Sources

Aerlink may collect information about you from Third Party sources to supplement the information provided by you. This supplemental information allows us to verify or supplement the information that you have provided to Aerlink and to enhance our ability to provide you with information about our business and services. Aerlink’s agreements with these Third Parties typically limit how Aerlink may use this supplemental information.

​

Information We Share

Aerlink does not sell or otherwise disclose Personal Information about you, except as described elsewhere in this Privacy Statement or as you explicitly consent. Aerlink may share Personal Information with our service providers and consultants for our internal business purposes or to provide you with a service that you have requested; or in the case of search and rescue, to other Third Parties including medical health providers, coroners, police, and other emergency service providers. Aerlink requires our service providers to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality and security of Personal Information they maintain on our behalf, including: to provide at least the same level of protection as required by the Privacy Shield Principles and GDPR not to use it for any purpose other than the purpose for which Aerlink retained them, and to notify Aerlink if they make a determination that they can no longer comply with that obligation.

​

We may disclose information about you:

• If we are required to do so by law, court order, or legal process;

• In response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements;

• Under the discovery process in litigation or arbitration;

• To enforce Aerlink policies, contracts, or other rights;

• To collect amounts owed to Aerlink;

• When we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity;

• If in good faith we believe that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes—e.g., to detect unauthorised activity on the Aerlink website. In such cases, server log data containing IP addresses may be shared with law enforcement bodies, contractors, or consultants so that they may identify users in connection with their investigation of unauthorised activities.

​

We reserve the right to disclose or transfer any information we have about you in the event of: a proposed or actual reorganisation, sale, lease, merger, joint venture, assignment, amalgamation, or any other type of acquisition, disposal, or financing of all or any portion of Aerlink or of any of our assets (including should Aerlink cease to trade, become insolvent, or enter into receivership or any similar event occur). Should such an event take place, we will endeavour to direct the transferee to use Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement.

Your Personal Information may be transferred to other Aerlink offices, data centres, and servers in countries of the Asia-Pacific Region for the purposes identified. Any such transfer of Personal Information shall take place only in accordance with applicable law. Aerlink will take steps designed to comply with all applicable local laws when Processing Personal Information, including any local law conditions for and restrictions on the transfer of Personal Information. Aerlink may also protect your data through other legally valid methods, including international data transfer agreements.
