Arcube Limited - Privacy and Cookie Notice

Last updated: March 16, 2026.

Background

This notice tells you how we look after your personal data when you visit our website at https://arcube.com/, when you interact with our services, when you work for one of the customers that purchases our technology, or when you interact with us in any other way.

This notice sets out what information we collect about you, what we use it for and who we share it with. It also explains your rights and what to do if you have any concerns about your personal data.

We may sometimes need to update this notice, to reflect any changes to the way the services are provided or to comply with new business practices or legal requirements. You should check this privacy notice to see whether any changes have occurred.

Who we are and other important information

We are Arcube Limited (referred to in this Policy as "we", "us" and "our").

For those who interact with our services, all visitors to our website, the personnel of our customers, ancillary suppliers and other suppliers, and all other individuals with whom we communicate in the course of providing our services or running our business (each referred to as "you" and "your"), we are the controller of your information (which means we decide what information we collect and how it is used).

The types of Personal Data we collect

We collect your information when you interact with our services, visit our website or we otherwise communicate with you in the course of providing our services or running our business. A description of the information we collect, together with how and why we use this information is provided below.

When you engage with Arcube Services

We provide personalised advertising and marketing services. You will interact with these services when an airline ("airline") has engaged with Arcube and has implemented the Arcube services on their website and other communications.

In certain circumstances you will be asked to provide information when you interact with our services. This information is collected and stored by us and may be shared with third parties, as set out in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise notified to you when you provide the information.

We also collect some information automatically when you interact with our services. In some jurisdictions this it classed as Personal Data (please see below for further information about the definition of "Personal Data" in relation to different countries in which we operate). This includes:

  • IP address
  • Location
  • Device type
  • Browser type
  • Session ID (generated from a unique identifier for your transaction which is shared with us by the publisher. This session ID allows us to understand how you interact with our advertisers, but without telling us who you are.)
  • Language preferences
  • Access times
  • Airline's website address

The airline will also share information with us regarding any travel or other products and services you have purchased.

The airline may also share with us information (including your email address) so that we can pre-fill your details and save you from providing this information to us again. The airline may share other Personal Data with us, where they elect to do so in their sole discretion.

We do not intentionally collect details about your race, ethnicity, political views, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual preferences, health, genetics or criminal records, or any other Personal Data that would be considered "Special Category Data" under the GDPR or UK GDPR. If we discover that we have collected Personal Data of this nature, we will delete it as soon as reasonably practicable.

When you visit Arcube's website

In addition to any Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily, Arcube will collect information about your use of our website, and your IP address, ISP and IP location, internet speed, and browser information.

Business contacts of Arcube

In addition to any Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily, information may be provided to Arcube by your employer or another person or organisation that has engaged you, where such person or organisation has a relationship with Arcube (e.g. as an airline or supplier).

How Arcube collects your Personal Data

Arcube collects information about you when our website is shown to you following your purchase with the airline, often on the "confirmation page,". On this page you may be presented with ancillary products and services relevant to your purchase with the airline. Similarly, you may see ancillaries promoted in your emails from the airline, for example, when they confirm your order ("Ancillary Promotion"). It is at this time that the airline may pass us Personal Data, and we may collect Personal Data, as described above. We use this data to determine which Ancillary Promotions are most appropriate for you. We may also collect Personal Data from you when you click on an Ancillary Promotion, purchase a product, subscribe to newsletters or other publications, subscribe to marketing communications or agree to be notified of new promotions. We use this Personal Data to determine which Ancillary Promotions are best for you and for the other purposes indicated at the time of purchase. Some of your Personal Data may also be collected via indirect sources. These may include:

  • From airlines and other clients when we perform our services;
  • A survey you completed
  • Responses you've made to a promotion
  • Through our employees, agents, contractors or suppliers
  • Third-party service providers
  • When we are required by law or regulation to do so

Other ways we collect information include via online activity, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, through local storage, analytic or advertising "cookies" or digital identifiers, which are usually small lines of text that are stored with your Web browser for record keeping purposes, and which we use to obtain statistical information and to understand what advertising, offers or services may be relevant to you. Your browser, as well as the notice on our website, has options in its security settings to accept, reject or provide you with a notice when a cookie or digital identifier is sent, and you can clear these and disable future use of cookies and digital identifiers if you want to.

Purposes for which Arcube collects and processes your Personal Data

In some jurisdictions in which we collect and use Personal Data (in particular the UK and European Union), we are required to identify a legal justification (also known as a lawful basis) for collecting and using your Personal Data, in addition to describing the purpose.

There are six legal justifications which organisations can rely on. The most relevant of these to us are where we use your Personal Data to:

How we hold your Personal Data

At Arcube we have a series of security measures in place to protect your Personal Data.

We use industry-standard encryption to help protect data at rest.

We keep customer information in controlled systems that are protected with authorised access only and prevent copying of your stored Personal Data. We manage and access privileges to ensure the minimal Personal Data that we do store is limited to only those who need access to it for our legitimate business purposes. We also provide continuing training to our staff and regular security reviews.

We have procedures in place to mitigate any security risks or breaches, including penetration testing, but you must keep in mind that no security system is 100% secure and such incidents may occur.

Retention of Personal Data

We will retain your Personal Data for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it and for a reasonable period thereafter in order to comply with audit, contractual, or legal requirements, or where we have a legitimate interest in doing so. This period will typically be 7 years from the date that we last interacted with you or the business by which you were employed or engaged, whichever is later.

We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may retain aggregated or de-identified data indefinitely or to the extent allowed by applicable data protection laws.

We may retain Personal Data preserved in automatically generated computer back-up or archival copies generated in the ordinary course of our information technology systems procedures.

We are not responsible for the retention periods of airlines or ancillary suppliers.
