Personal information collection
When you enroll on myKCMsupport for the Known Crewmember™ (KCM) Service, Collins may collect a variety of personal and non-personal information, including, but not limited to:
Collins monitors user traffic patterns throughout the website according to a user's domain name, browser type, date and time of access, and pages viewed. This information is collected in order to measure the number of visitors to our website and to determine which areas users find useful based upon the traffic to particular areas. Collins uses this information to enhance visitors' experience and to better prepare future content based on the interests of visitors.
Your mobile provider may have a conflicting privacy position that captures personal information when you visit our website, but Collins is not responsible for and does not control how other parties may collect your information when you access our website(s).
Using and disclosure of personal information
Collins will use your personal information as required to provide the KCM Service to you and Collins' customers and government entities, conduct basic business operations; provide the information or service you have requested; communicate with you regarding the service; improve our products, services and websites; verify your identity to ensure security for one of the other purposes; respond to a legitimate legal request from law enforcement authorities or other government regulators; investigate suspected or actual illegal activity; support the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets (including through bankruptcy); and/or conduct investigations to ensure compliance with, and comply with, legal obligations.
Collins may share your personal information with our subsidiaries and affiliated companies (the "Collins Group"). When Collins transfers your Personal Information within the Collins Group, it will do so consistent with applicable law and Collins' Binding Corporate Rules, which are available above in many languages.
In addition, Collins may provide access to or share personal information on an as-needed basis with third parties, such as trusted service providers, consultants and contractors who are granted access to Collins facilities or systems, and with government agencies and others as required by law. Collins will only share your information outside the Collins Group to allow service providers Collins has retained to perform services on our behalf. In those cases, Collins will only share the information with service providers for the purposes outlined above. These service providers are contractually restricted from using or disclosing the information except when it is necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements; comply with legal obligations, including but not limited, to complying with tax and regulatory obligations, sharing data with labor/trade unions and works councils, and responding to a court proceeding or a legitimate legal request from law enforcement authorities or other government regulators; investigate suspected or actual illegal activity; prevent physical harm or financial loss; or support the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets (including through bankruptcy).
Collins may disclose your personal information to sub-contractors, airport authorities, airlines, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration and other government agencies to provide the KCM Service. Such parties will, whenever possible, be contractually prohibited from using or disclosing your information other than to perform services on Collins' behalf or comply with legal requirements. Biometric data will not be stored with any other data which could result in the disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII).
When you terminate your participation in the KCM Service, you may request that we remove from our databases any personal and non-personal information held by Collins. If you enroll for the KCM Service and decide not to complete the enrollment process, you may request that we remove personal information from our databases. An individual may request removal of his or her personal information as described in this Policy below. However, removal of your information is subject to the data retention requirements described below.
Data Storage
Because Collins, and its parent company Raytheon Technologies, are global companies with locations in many different countries, we may transfer your information from one legal entity to another in order to accomplish the purposes listed above. Your information will not be transferred outside of the United States.
Data Retention
All information collected and stored by Collins will be retained in the system for a period of 12 months after deactivation, suspension, cancellation, or revocation of your participation in the Service, unless you request in writing that this information not be retained or as otherwise required for Collins to comply with its contractual and legal obligations. An individual may request removal of his or her personal information by contacting Collins at the contact information provided below.
