Asaptickets.CA (“Asaptickets.CA”, “we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy describes our practices regarding personally identifiable information or personal data (“personal information/ PI”). This policy applies to our websites, applications, email, voice calls and text messages, and social media accounts(the “Platforms”). When you use the Platforms, you agree to the terms in this policy.
This privacy policy aims to give you information on how Asaptickets.CA collects and processes your PI, including any PI you may provide through the Platforms, when you purchase a product or service or sign up to our newsletter.
It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy policy, notice or fair processing policy we may provide on specific occasions, when we are collecting or processing PI about you, so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your PI.This privacy policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.
Asaptickets.CA is the organization responsible for your PI. We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please contact the DPO using the details set out below.
Full name of the organisation: International Travel Network, LLC

We keep our privacy policy under regular review. Asaptickets.CA might make minor amendments to this Privacy policy which shall not adversely affect your privacy, except if laws set otherwise.
In case of material changes Asaptickets.CA will definitely publish such amendments and amended policy on our website and, as far as possible, notify you either by email or by pop-up windows when you are using our Platforms next time.
Amendments shall enter into force on the Effective Date.
Actual version of the Privacy policy is published on our website.
When you give us PI, you are telling us, that the information is true, accurate, complete and current. You are also telling us, that you have the authorization to provide it to us.
It is important that the PI we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed, if your PI changes during your relationship with us.
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of PI about you which we have grouped together as follows:
We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your PI, but is not considered PI in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Network Activity Information to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Platform feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your PI, so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as PI which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.
Customer support If you choose to contact our customer support services we will collect any inquires, complaint or other information that you may submit to our support team.
We do not collect any Special Categories of PI about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
Asaptickets.CA does not knowingly collect PI from minors, except if the minor is one of travelers. If we become aware that a minor is attempting to submit PI, we will remove this information from our records. If you are the parent/legal guardian of a minor who has given us PI, please contact us so we can delete it.
Where we collect PI required by law or under the terms of a contract, and you fail to provide that PI when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
One of the main collection methods are VOICE CALLS. We have vested interest to ensure you have chosen the best possible option. Voice calls are an exclusive opportunity to provide you with an immediate customer support and disclose additional product features, you might not notice on website. Usually, we call back on your request. Sometimes there might be unfinished conversations regarding current flights (misunderstanding in live chat, email system error, poor internet connection etc.), which require immediate response. We don’t make unwanted telemarketing robocalls or any annoying advertising campaigns. You can opt-out this communication any time by contacting us via phone or email.
PI we collect passively We also collect your PI passively. For example, we collect information about you over time and across different Websites when you visit the Platform. We also use tracking tools like cookies and beacons. As you interact with our Platforms, we will automatically collect Network Activity Information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this PI by using cookies and other similar technologies. For additional information, please, refer to our Cookie policy.
Platform features may make use of your device attributes and settings that will allow us to determine your physical location (country, state). Such technologies may include IP address mapping or other technologies. We use this information to enhance and personalize your experience and provide you with offers and services that may be of interest to you. Asaptickets.CA does not have control over your device settings, but we do recommend enabling location services on your device so you can take advantage of the location based features and functionality offered.

Our servers and data centers are located in the U.S and our service providers may be located there and in other countries. By providing us PI, you agree that your PI may be transferred to and stored in these countries. These countries may have different and/or less stringent privacy/data protection and data security rules than those of your own country. As a result, your PI may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those countries according to laws in those countries. Subject to the applicable laws of such countries, we will provide the necessary safeguards to maintain protections of your PI, e.g. by obtaining from the PI recipients contractual commitments based on the EU model clauses.
Asaptickets.CA has a security program intended to keep the PI stored in our systems protected from unauthorized access and misuse. Our systems are configured with data encryption, or scrambling technologies and firewalls constructed to industry standards. We also use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology that protects the PI you send over the Internet. PI may only be accessed by persons within our organizations, or our service providers to carry out the uses indicated in this Privacy Policy.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your PI from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your PI to those employees, agents, contractors and other service providers who have a business need to know. They will only process your PI on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected PI breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your PI 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 your PI 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 PI, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the PI, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your PI, the purposes for which we process your PI and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
