Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Your Sensitive Personal Information: In some circumstances, you may have the right to limit the use and disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information to the purposes authorized by the CCPA. We do not use or disclose sensitive Personal Information for any purpose not expressly permitted by the CCPA.

Private Right of Action for Data Breaches: If you are a California resident, you have the right to institute a civil action against Travelport for unauthorized access, theft, or disclosure of nonencrypted and non-redacted personal information (as defined in the CCPA) due to the business failing to implement reasonable security practices and procedures appropriate for the particular type of Personal Information.

How to exercise your privacy rights

You may exercise your privacy rights by sending us an email to privacy@travelport.com or by calling us at 1-800-245-5214. Under certain US Privacy Laws, you may also authorize another person to make a data subject request on your behalf, and the authorized person may do so via the above listed submission methods.

We may ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify your identity to comply with your privacy request. Once we receive a verifiable request, we will respond to your request in compliance with the applicable US Privacy Laws. If we refuse to take action on your request, under certain US Privacy Laws you have the right to appeal this refusal within a reasonable period of time after your receipt of our decision, by submitting a request for appeal to privacy@travelport.com.

If you are a California resident and you choose to exercise any of your CCPA privacy rights, any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of the request.  

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

How to exercise the right to opt out in relation to our Websites:

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request you are opted-out of targeted advertising, sales and/or profiling of your Personal Information. You may do that by clicking the opt-out button on our cookie consent banner that shows on our websites, or by sending an opt-out preference signal supported by your device or browser.

Our websites recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) preference signal. GPC is a standardized signal that a user's web browser sends to websites to indicate that the user wants to opt out of certain data collection and sharing practices. If you have this right, when you visit and log in to our websites in a GPC-enabled browser, we will treat our initial receipt of the GPC signal as a valid request to opt out of targeted advertising, sales and/or profiling as defined by applicable US privacy laws granting this right. Please note that if you are logged out, our processing of the signal will be limited to the specific browser that you are using. You may need to renew your opt‑out choice if you use a different browser to access our websites. Other than the GPC, we do not recognize any other "do not track" signals.
