1. Who is SLM
SLM has its headquarters (Surinam Airways LTD.) in Suriname, at the Mr. Jagernath Lachmonstraat 136 (P.O.Box: 2029) in Paramaribo. In addition, it has a head office in the Netherlands (Surinaamse Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V.), with its registered office at the M. Hanenbergstraat 17 in Amsterdam. In the context of and for the purpose of performing its activities, SLM processes personal data. The controller for the personal data is Surinam Airways LTD. Whenever "we" or "us" is mentioned in this Privacy Statement, this at least relates to the aforementioned company as the controller with regard to the processing of personal data.
2. The types of personal data that we process
Being an airline company, SLM processes different types of personal data for various reasons, as shown below:
In the context of the implementation of the transport agreement:
In the context of the transport agreement that we conclude with you, we need your personal data, for example, to make a boarding pass for you. The personal data processed by SLM in these cases are:
a. Your NAW-data (name, address and residence data) and booking data: SLM collects your name and address data as this is necessary to be able to conclude an agreement with you and to provide the services it offers. This includes: your first and last name, middle name, name by which you are known, title, nationality, place of residence, address, date of birth, place of birth, country of residence, telephone number(s) and passport number. In some cases, SLM also asks for your billing and payment information, consisting of: your billing address, your e-mail address as well as information about the payment methods chosen by you (such as credit card numbers and bank account number). This information is necessary to book a flight for you.
b. Passenger details: If you book a flight ticket for several people with SLM, you must also provide SLM with some details from third parties, including the first and last name and date of birth. This information is also required to complete the booking. If you provide personal data from third parties (not being your own personal data) to us, you are responsible for the permission, power of attorney or instruction required for this from such third party.
In the context of providing information about your flight and flight schedule:
We use your e-mail address to send you flight-related information and promotional offers by e-mail, for example to remind you of the check-in, to offer you extra services for your flight (for example with regard to your seat chosen, luggage, meals, or more legroom).
Advance Passenger Information (API): Increasingly more countries of destination (including the United States and Canada, and in the future also Member States of the European Union) require SLM to pass on passenger data on arrival or departure, and in some cases even before flying over the relevant country. These countries request SLM to provide more insight into passenger data in order to prevent and combat possible terrorism. The relevant legal regulations generally include the transfer of data on the identity and travel documents (passport, visa) of the passengers and crew on board. Not all of such data is collected by us at the time of booking. In many cases the data is collected shortly before departure, possibly also via the "machine-readable code" of newer travel documents. We only process this data for transmission to the authorities of the relevant target country in accordance with our legal obligations. Surinam Airways would like to emphasize that the relevant authorities have assured us that your reservation details are only used for security purposes and are only accessible to authorized personnel (Customs and Security and Immigration employees).
Contact persons: If you wish, you can make known to SLM the contact details of a contact person who must be informed in case such is necessary. We link this information to your booking and it is automatically deleted 72 hours after the last flight of the booking.
Contact with SLM:
E-mail newsletter: You may subscribe to the e-mail newsletter via our website. In this context, we process your e-mail address and first and last name. Your data will only be used to offer the newsletter in the context of your permission given to us.
If you contact us yourself (digitally): If you contact SLM by e-mail, app or social media, we process your e-mail address and all data that you leave with us. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties if you do not consent to this and we process your data in a careful manner.
If you contact us yourself by telephone: If you call SLM, our customer service will answer your questions or complaints and if necessary forward them to our claims department, which maintains a database of complaints handled.
Loyal Wings Program: If you wish, you may use the Loyal Wings Program to pass on extra baggage, ticket upgrades, etc. In this context, we must obtain your name and contact details.

3. How does SLM obtain the personal data it processes

When you book a flight directly via SLM, contact SLM or you subscribe to the e-mail newsletter or receive push notifications via the mobile app, you provide the data to us directly.
If SLM receives the data via a third party, for example a travel agency
SLM obtains your data both from its sales offices located in different countries and from third parties through whom you make your booking. For example, in the case that you book your flight through a travel agency, travel agents and other ticket providers. If you leave your personal data with these parties for the purpose of being sent to SLM to complete your booking, we will receive such personal data.
Via the website, app or social media channels
If you use our website, mobile app or social media channels and you leave your details with us in this way or through the cookie settings that you use in your browser.
4. The foundations on which SLM bases its data processing
SLM processes, uses and stores personal data in the context of the performance of an agreement to provide services, to comply with the legal obligations we have to adhere to, based on our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party or on the basis of the permission you have given.
Below are some examples of the legal foundations. These principles are in accordance with the AVG.
Permission
For example, if you have given permission for the processing of personal data when subscribing to the newsletter. If you have granted permission for certain processing operations, you may also withdraw this permission at any time.
Implementing an agreement.
SLM needs your personal data to book your flight or to be able to deliver the services that you want to buy. SLM needs your data to make payments.
Complying with a legal obligation.
SLM may be required by law to collect, process and / or provide your personal data to third parties, for example to government authorities in connection with border control, security and immigration.
Protection of vital interests.
For example, the exchange of personal data with medical personnel in the event of an emergency.
To perform a task in the public interest / to exercise public authority.
In the case of calamities or safety incidents.
The legitimate interest of SLM or third parties.
For example for our own marketing information, to prevent fraud, to improve our products and services such as the website or to offer promotions relevant to you.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by following the specific instructions for the processing for which you have given your consent. For example, by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You may also contact us by e-mail or in writing to withdraw the permission given.
If you do not want to provide us with the personal data that SLM needs for the implementation of an agreement or compliance with a legal obligation, it may be possible that SLM cannot provide the services requested (in full). If you provide incomplete or incorrect information, the applicable laws force us not to allow you on a flight or you may not be able to enter the foreign territory.
If there are legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, then the interests have always been weighed. Where necessary, SLM has taken appropriate measures to limit the consequences and to protect you against legitimate damage. Where appropriate, safeguarding our safety and that of society will provide a legitimate interest. If you believe that your interests have been prejudiced, you may object to this on grounds of the reasons related to your situation.
5. With which (third) parties does SLM share personal data
Within SLM: Our privacy statement applies to all services that SLM offers. SLM processes your personal data within SLM and its affiliated companies (for an overview, see: https://www.flyslm.com/nl/kantoren/). The type of personal data and the position of the relevant SLM employee will decide who within SLM has access to your personal data.
With regard to certain personal data, or personal data provided for a specific purpose, only certain designated departments and / or persons have access to your personal data.
In this respect you may think of IT, Accounting, System & Procedure, Internal Control and the Claims department within SLM.
With third parties: SLM can also pass on your personal data to third parties outside our company, to the extent so permitted by law. SLM has made agreements with these parties. You can think of IT-related companies, parties that run ticket systems and baggage handling. In addition, in certain cases, SLM may be forced to collect your personal data and share it with public authorities or government organizations to facilitate border control, immigration formalities, entry into the territory of any State, security and counter-terrorism. In these cases, SLM is obliged to transfer the personal data if government authorities require such at the point of departure or arrival. For traveling to certain countries, there is a requirement that passenger data is passed on (such as the aforementioned API systems and US Secure Flight Data). This may differ per destination. Even if we are not obliged to do so, we can help with this. In certain cases, personal data is shared with other government bodies if such is required by law.
Third party websites: If you are linked to third-party websites via the SLM website, you will leave our website. This Privacy Statement does not apply to third-party websites. The use of these websites is at your own risk.
6. The security and processing of personal data
SLM takes appropriate (technical) security measures at all times to protect your data against (un)intentional loss and against unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure of your personal data. Only authorized personnel have access to the data. If and insofar necessary partners of SLM assume (part of) the implementation, SLM has agreed with them that they will also optimally protect personal data.
7. Retention periods
SLM stores personal data for as long as such is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement and for compliance with laws and regulations. SLM stores personal data in the context of bookings, purchases or for the implementation of other agreements for as long as such is necessary to process your booking(s), including administration, feedback, complaints, damage, insurance, etc. After processing, we save complaint data, with the exception of passport copies, for a maximum of 10 years. At the end of that period, the data will be deleted, unless the data must be kept for a longer period of time pursuant to a legal obligation. The latter applies in any case to the payment data, which must be kept for 10 years in pursuance of the tax retention obligation.
We keep personal data that we receive because you contact us by e-mail, post, telephone or social media as long as such is necessary to process and follow up your request.
Personal data we receive in the context of job applications - if you are not hired - will be deleted at the latest 1 month after completing the application process, unless you have given permission to save your data for future vacancies.
After the retention periods, we delete your personal data. We may keep your data in anonymous form for analytical, historical or other business purposes.
8. The processing of personal data in third world countries outside the EU
SLM has its registered office in Paramaribo, Suriname. With regard to storing the (personal) data it receives, SLM makes use of servers from parties in (inter alia) the United States. SLM has made agreements with these parties and, in accordance with the established EU model, has concluded EU model contracts that lay down standard provisions.
It may happen that SLM passes on your personal data to countries other than the country in which you reside. This is done in the context of arranging your trip or because our group companies, partners or service providers carry out their work from other countries. The legislation in those countries does not always offer the same level of protection for your personal data. For the transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area, as a security measure, use may be made of model contract provisions approved by the European Commission.
