3. Rights And Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

PTC values our applicants and wants them to understand their rights, regarding the PI that we have collected on them. There are numerous state laws that combine to specify the following rights:

  1. Right to Access – the right to know the PI we have collected about you
  2. Right to Delete – the right to delete the PI we have collected about you (dependent on your location; restrictions apply)
  3. Right to Rectify – the right to correct/amend PI we have collected about you
  4. Right to Restrict – the right to limit the use or disclosure of certain categories of PI

If a request is submitted in a manner that is not one of the designated methods for submission, or if the request is deficient in some manner unrelated to our verification process, we will provide you with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with the request, as applicable.

If requests from an applicant are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either (1) charge a reasonable fee, or (2) refuse to act on the request and notify the applicant of the reason for refusing the request. If we charge a fee, the amount will be based upon the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested.

PTC will not discriminate against applicants for exercising any of the rights described herein. This includes denying goods or services, charging different prices, or providing a different level or quality of service. However, PTC can offer applicant’s different rates (or service) if that difference is reasonably related to the value of the applicant’s data.

Access Rights – Requests to Know

The Right to Access Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, or Sold

You have the right to request that PTC disclose the PI we collected about you. Upon the receipt of a verified request and in accordance with our data retention policy, we will provide the following:

  • Categories of PI we collected about you;
  • Categories of sources for the PI we collected about you;
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, disclosing, or selling that PI;
  • Categories of third parties with whom we share that PI; and
  • Specific pieces of PI we collected about you.

Please note that there may be instances where access to your PI may be restricted by law. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may request additional information for the express purpose of validating your identity. If we are prohibited from fulfilling your request for the disclosure of all or some of your PI, we will advise you of the specific reasons for restricting access, barring any legal or regulatory limitations.

We will not provide specific pieces of PI if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to (1) the security of that PI, (2) the consumer’s account with us, or (3) the security of our systems or networks. We will not disclose Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government-issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, health insurance numbers, medical identification numbers, account passwords, and security questions and answers.

Instructions for Submitting Access Requests

PTC provides three options to submit Access Requests. Individuals may submit their Access Request by:

  • Accessing our online portal: privacy.pilotflyingj.com
  • Calling one of our toll-free numbers:
  • If available, visiting a travel center and using the In-Store Kiosk, in California locations only

Process to Verify Access Requests

To verify the identity of the individual who has made an Access request, PTC may require individuals to submit additional information. PTC may ask individuals to provide: first name, last name, date of birth, address, phone number, and email address. After providing the information necessary to complete the request, you will be verified with a third-party identity verification service. Once this request has been verified, the Privacy Office will begin to process your request.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

We partner with other companies and businesses to deliver interest-based ads to you, which enable us to provide our Services and relevant offers to you.

In working with other companies and businesses, we may disclose personal information in a way that meets the criteria of “selling” or “sharing” personal information as defined under state privacy laws.

You can request to opt-out of this “sale or sharing” of your personal information by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link here or elsewhere on our platform, where you will find instructions on opting out of the use of your personal information for interest-based advertising.

You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of the PI that PTC has collected on you. As used within the context of this Privacy Notice, “Sell” refers to the act of selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, the PI we have collected during the normal course of business, to another business or a third party for monetary or valuable consideration. You are not required to create an account or enroll in any of our loyalty programs in order to exercise your rights under this provision.

If you choose to exercise this right, PTC will refrain from selling your PI for a period of one year. After this period, we may contact you to obtain your consent to sell your PI.

We do not sell the PI of minors under 16 years of age without affirmative authorization where required by law. For more information, please view the Personal Information Collection for Consumers Under 16 section in this Privacy Policy.

If we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent, we may deny the request. In this scenario, we will inform the requesting party that we will not comply with the request and provide an explanation of why we believe the request is fraudulent.

Opting-In After Opting-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

If you have previously opted-out of the sale or sharing of your PI and would like to opt-in, you can do the following:

  • If you are a Loyalty member, you can change the setting in your Loyalty account, via the Loyalty Portal.

We use a two-step opt-in process through which you must first clearly request to opt-in and then second separately confirm your choice to opt-in.
