Personal information we collect and use for legal, compliance, regulatory and crime detection and prevention purposes

We process your personal information so that we can meet our (either Emirates or Collinson) legal, compliance and regulatory obligations, for legal purposes, such as to respond to a valid legal subpoena, claim, summons or regulatory order, and to protect our property, rights and interests as well as the property, rights and interest of other persons.

We also process your personal information for crime prevention and detection purposes, including the prevention of fraud for online payments and use of loyalty schemes, for identity verification, for credit checking and credit scoring purposes and accounting or audit purposes.

Legal basis for using your personal information

We only collect, process, use, share and store your personal information where we are satisfied that we have an appropriate legal basis to do this. This may be because:

  • we need to use your personal information to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract with you;
  • we need to use your personal information for our legitimate interest as a commercial organisation. In all such cases, we will look after your information at all times in a way that is proportionate, that respects your privacy rights and is in accordance with our Privacy Notice, and you have a right to object to processing as explained in Legal rights available to help manage your privacy;
  • we need to use your personal information to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation that we have;
  • we have your consent to using your personal information for a particular activity. For example, where you consent to us sharing with you special offers about the Skywards Miles Mall Platform; and
  • we need to use your personal information to protect your vital interests. For example, we may need to report your medical condition to a hospital or clinic in the event of an emergency on board our flights.

Storage of your personal information

We keep your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. For example, to manage your earning of Skywards Miles with your in-store purchases when you linked your payment card to the Skywards Miles Mall. We will ensure that it is disposed of in a secure manner.

In some circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time, for example, where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting requirements, so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal information or dealings.

Security of your personal information

We have implemented and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures, policies and procedures designed to protect the personal information that you share with us and safeguard the privacy of such information. For example, the measures we take include:

  • placing confidentiality requirements on our staff members and service providers;
  • destroying or permanently anonymising personal information if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected;
  • following security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your personal information to prevent unauthorised access to it; and
  • introducing second-level authentication through use of one time passcode for certain Emirates Skywards account activities.

As the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer or other device you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect user IDs and passwords, please take appropriate measures to protect this information.
