What Data is Collected

The app collects behavioral data including user session activity, screen interactions, purchase history, and booking details. Qualtrics gathers survey responses and feedback, while Adobe Experience Cloud and QuantumMetric track in-app experience to analyze how users interact with features. Location and mapping data is processed for airport navigation through Google Maps and LocusLabs.

Third-Party Data Sharing

User data is distributed across a large number of third-party services. Session behavior and experience data flows to QuantumMetric, Adobe Experience Cloud, and Dynatrace. User payment and identity information passes through Cardinal Commerce and PingIdentity for transaction processing. Firebase services receive device telemetry, crash data, and remote configuration signals. Akamai Bot Manager and Cyberfend analyze user traffic patterns for fraud and bot detection.
