3. Personal Information that We Collect

(A) Personal Information Collected That You Provide Us

When you purchase Services through our Website or with our call center agents we ask you to provide Personal Information to fulfill your order. The Personal Information we collect from you is only what we need to be able to take your order and serve you effectively. This Personal Information includes:

• Your name;
• Your e-mail address;
• Your shipping address;
• Your billing address;
• Your phone number;
• Your credit-card number;
• Your card expiration date;
• Your card verification code;
• Your travel preferences.

This Personal Information allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. We do not require you to create an account to place an order.

Other Personal Information you may voluntarily provide to our call center agents is your passport information, including your passport number, photo, and birth date. We only use this information if requested by our airline partners to purchase your airline tickets. Please note, we do not keep your passport information in our database or server; however, our call center agents do keep this information in their corporate email accounts.

You may also voluntarily sign up for our newsletter or to be informed about certain offers or promotions, in which case we may use the Personal Information you provide, such as your contact Personal Information, job details, and feedback, to send the Personal Information you requested or fulfill any other purpose for which you have provided such Personal Information. You may choose to provide additional Personal Information when you communicate with us through our Website or otherwise interact with us, and we will keep copies of those communications for our records.

Your decision to provide this Personal Information is voluntary, but if you choose not to provide this requested Personal Information you may not be able to participate in our Services.

(B) Personal Information Automatically Collected

In addition to Personal Information that you choose to provide to us, when you visit our Website, we may also collect certain information automatically from your personal computer, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices. In some countries, including those countries in the European Union, this information may be considered Personal Information under applicable information protection laws.

Specifically, the Personal Information we collect automatically may include the following:

• Your IP address or other unique identifier;
• Your operating system or mobile network information;
• Your Internet browser identification;
• Your Internet browsing activity;
• Your general geographic location;
• Your interaction and activities with our Website, including remembering you and your preferences; and
• Other certain information related to your devices, including the time of day you visit our Website, among other information.

We collect this information through our own server logs and through the browser cookies described in section 6. Where that collection relies on analytics or advertising cookies, it happens only after you have consented to the relevant category in our cookie notice.

4. We Combine Collected Personal Information

We combine Personal Information that we have collected offline, such as through an agent at our call center, with Personal Information we collect online, such as our Website. We also combine Personal Information that we have collected across other third-party websites, your devices, such as computers and mobile devices, and from third-parties with Personal Information we already have.

5. Other Travelers

When you use our Services through this Website or our call center on behalf of someone else, we will request Personal Information about that individual. By providing any Personal Information of another traveler, you represent that you have all necessary authority or have obtained all necessary consents from such person to enable us to collect, use and disclose such Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Personal Information of other travelers is collected only for the purpose of providing such Personal Information to the appropriate third party, such as the airline on which travel will occur, to fulfill the requested service, or as otherwise may be required or permitted by applicable law.

6. Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of information stored by your browser on your device. We group the cookies used on this Website into three categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Website cannot function without them. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional and are set only after you have consented to that category in the cookie notice shown on your first visit.

Strictly necessary cookies, set by us:

• lf_cookie_consent — records your response to our cookie notice, including which optional categories you allowed, so we do not ask again and so your choices can be applied on later visits. Stored for 180 days.
• sanctum.token.cookie — set only when you sign in, and used to keep you signed in between pages. It is removed when you sign out.

Analytics and marketing cookies, set by Google when you allow them: we use Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics and, where you have allowed marketing cookies, Google advertising tags. These set cookies such as _ga and _ga_<id> (Google Analytics, used to distinguish visitors and measure how the Website is used, stored for up to 2 years) and _gcl_au (Google Ads, used to measure whether a visit followed one of our adverts, stored for up to 90 days). Google acts as our processor for this measurement, and Google may transfer the data outside your country; see Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles it.

We use Google's Consent Mode. Until you accept a category, Google's tags are loaded in a restricted mode in which they set no cookies and cannot identify you; if you decline, they stay in that mode for the whole of your visit.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did while your consent was in place.

You are also free to set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you block the strictly necessary cookies above, the cookie notice will reappear on every visit and you will not be able to stay signed in to your account.

7. How We Use Your Personal Information

We may use your Personal Information for various purposes, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Improving the effectiveness of our Website, marketing endeavors, and Services;
• Processing and completing purchase and similar transactions;
• Providing customer service;
• Notifying you of product recalls or providing other information concerning products you have purchased;
• Sending you newsletters that you opt-into;
• Sending you direct mail offerings;
• Sending you e-mail communications about our products, services, promotions, events, or other important information;
• Sending you e-mails about orders you have made on our Website;

8. Sharing Your Personal Information with Third Parties

In general, the Personal Information we collect will be shared with third parties to enable us to provide our Services to you. We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Information with third parties. For example, we share your Personal Information with:

• Our airline partners who get your name, number, e-mail address, and additional required information to purchase your plane ticket such as your passport information and birth date; and
• Financial institutions, like banks or credit card companies, who get your name and account number to process payments made through our Website or and settle any domestic and cross-border transactions

By providing these third-party companies your Personal Information, they are not permitted to use, share, or sell said information; however, they have their own privacy policies with respect to the information we share with them to provide our Services. This includes how they may process and store your Personal Information.

In general, these third-party companies will only collect, use and disclose your Personal Information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us; however, once you leave our Website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service. Therefore, we recommend that you read any third-party company's privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which they will handle your Personal Information.

We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties for the following reasons:

• To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request;
• To enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes; or
• If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of YesFares, our Users, or others.

9. SMS/Text Messaging and Mobile Communications

If you provide your mobile telephone number and separately consent to receive SMS/text messages from YesFares, we may use your mobile number to send text messages relating to your reservations, travel services, customer service, account, promotions, offers, or other communications for which you have provided consent, subject to applicable law.

Mobile Opt-in, SMS Consent, and phone numbers collected for SMS communication purposes will not be shared with any third party or affiliates for marketing purposes. Your consent to receive SMS/text messages is specific to YesFares and does not constitute consent to receive marketing text messages from unrelated third parties or affiliates.

We may disclose your mobile telephone number and SMS-related information to service providers that provide SMS/text messaging, telecommunications, customer-support, compliance, or related services on our behalf, solely as necessary to provide and administer the SMS program and subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements. These service providers are not permitted to use your SMS consent for their own independent marketing purposes.

We will not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your SMS opt-in information or SMS consent records to third parties or affiliates for their own promotional or marketing purposes.

You may opt out of promotional SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to the applicable message, or by contacting us using the information provided in this Privacy Policy. After you opt out, we may send a confirmation message and will no longer send promotional SMS messages unless you subsequently provide consent, except for messages that are necessary to fulfill a transaction or provide a service you have requested, where permitted by applicable law.

For help with SMS messages, reply HELP or contact us at YesFares at info@yesfares.com. Our SMS program is described in full in Section 32 of our Terms of Service.
