For Our European Customers: We are an English company owned by a company with primary operations located in the United States. In order for us to provide you with the services we offer, it is necessary for us to transmit the information that you provide to us or that we collect from you to the United States. The United States may have different and/or less stringent privacy/data protection and data security rules than those of your own country. As a result, your personal information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to its laws. We have complied with the Data Protection Act 2018 regarding the collection, use, retention and transfer of personal data from the UK and European Union member countries and Switzerland. We have also certified that we adhere to the requirements of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access and enforcement.

If you do not want us to transmit your personal information to the United States, please do not use our website.
HOW DOES HALO SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described in this policy and with our affiliated companies (some of which are located outside the European Economic Area) that follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy. Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, rent, share, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties.
Third Party Services. Other companies and individuals perform services for us on a regular basis, and we may provide them with your personal information so that they may perform those services. Examples of these services include conducting flight operations, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These companies will have access to your personal information needed to perform their designated functions, but they may not use it for other purposes. For more information on the specific third parties that provide these services, please contact the Data Controller using the contact information below.
Legal Requirements. We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Halo, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. This does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personal information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Business Transfers. We may transfer any information we have about you to a third party in connection with a merger or sale involving all or part of our business or as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other change in corporate control.

If you are located in a country with laws governing the collection and use of data that differ from those of the United States, please note that we will not transfer your personal information to a country or jurisdiction that does not have data protection laws that are a least as protective of those in your country or jurisdiction.
