JETERA considers traveler reservation data security essential to its
business strategy and success. By working on behalf of travel industry
companies, such as airlines, global distribution systems, travel portals,
hotels, vacation ownership and car rental companies, JETERA will handle
reservation data following the same data security policies and laws now in place
to protect individuals' privacy. Travel industry companies will maintain control
of the traveler reservation data in precisely the same manner as they do today.
JETERA will act as an agent of these companies, adhering to their privacy
policies, and will not disclose any personal data to anyone in violation of
those policies. Nothing will change in the way travel-related companies control
and use their data for commercial purposes, except that JETERA will use the data
on behalf of the those companies in ways that open up new possibilities for
passengers and travelers.
JETERA will access reservations systems data
to match each traveler to a set of personal characteristics such as gender, age
group, marital status, address, residence value and such, and sort passengers
and travelers into segments that match advertisers' and content owners' profiles
of potential customers who are more likely to find the offered information
highly relevant and useful. JETERA enables delivery of specific,
personalized content to individual passengers and travelers during their travel
to include at their destination, and/or to their homes or offices, before,
during and after traveling.
The advantages to consumers from the JETERA
system are many. They include valuable offers and discounts relevant to actual
travel plans, advertising, offerings, and personalized communication that adapts
to individual preferences and also the opportunity to earn money while
traveling. In the latter instance, passengers in certain demographic groups will
be invited to participate in surveys, as well as new product development and
customer relations activities sponsored by a variety of organizations.
In
order to guard passengers' nonpublic personal information, JETERA maintains
physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that meet or exceed industry
standard practices.
Passengers who do not want to receive personalized
and relevant advertisements, or take advantage of opportunities to earn money
while traveling when such opportunities are available, will always be able to
opt out of the system.
