You may opt out from receiving marketing communications at any time by following the procedure to ‘unsubscribe’ that is specified in any marketing email that you receive.
Where we need to collect personal data, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to fulfil your request or enquiries and provide our services (for example, to provide you with our Concierge services) or provide you with any support you are seeking from us. In this case, we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
3. When We Share Your Personal Information
Aspire does not sell or otherwise disclose your Personal Information we collect about you, except as described herein or otherwise disclosed to you at the time the data is collected to fulfill your Concierge service requests.
We may share your Personal Information with third parties, but only to perform the services requested by you in connection with your use of the Site. For example, we will share your Personal Information required to complete a dining reservation with a restaurant in order to fulfill your reservation request. When you use the service to make a reservation with a third party, you authorize us to disclose the information required by such third party to complete the booking. These third parties are not controlled by Aspire and Personal Information disclosed to them is subject to the applicable third party's privacy policy and security practices.
We may disclose your Personal Information about you to your issuing bank and its service providers in connection with the Concierge service for the purpose of addressing your requests and/or inquiries.
We may share your Personal Information any member of our group of companies (which includes any of our subsidiaries).
We also may share your Personal Information with our service providers who perform services on our behalf. We do not authorize these service providers to use or disclose such data except as necessary to perform certain services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. We require these service providers by contract to appropriately safeguard the privacy and security of Personal Information they process on our behalf.
We also may disclose your Personal Information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity.
We also reserve the right to transfer your Personal Information in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use Personal Information you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice. Following such a sale or transfer, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your personal information with any inquiries concerning the processing of that information.
4. CookiesWe use a feature of your browser called a "cookie" to assign a unique number that automatically identifies your computer when you visit the site.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about you. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If you reject the cookie, you may still use our site.
The only drawback to this is that you will be limited in some areas of our site, or may have to enter passwords or identifying information more than once. We may collect Personal Information from you at other points on our site that state that Personal Information is being collected. In the event of a complaint, we may also receive Personal Information about you from other users or third parties who may communicate information to us about you in relation to that complaint.
5. Your Rights and ChoicesYou may have certain rights regarding the Personal Information we maintain about you. We offer you certain choices about what Personal Information we collect from you, how we use that information, and how we communicate with you. At any time, you can access your account by logging into your account in the Site. You can view or change your personal details through your account in the Site.
You may choose not to provide Personal Information to Aspire. However, if you do not provide Personal Information when requested, you may not be able to benefit from the full functionality of the Site and/or we may not be able to provide you with relevant information, products and/or services.
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to and receive information about the Personal Information we maintain about you, update and correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information, and have the information blocked or deleted, as appropriate. The right to access Personal Information may be limited in some circumstances by local law requirements. To update your preferences, ask us to remove your Personal Information or submit an access request, please contact us as specified below under Section 11 "How to Contact Us".
6. How We Protect Personal InformationWe restrict access to Personal Information about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards that comply with state and federal regulations to protect the Personal Information we have about you. We also take measures to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information when there is no longer a business need to keep the information. The types of measures we take vary with the type of information, and how it is collected and stored. Unfortunately, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Thus, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any data transmission.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
7. Data TransfersWe may transfer Personal Information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your Personal Information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Notice.
Aspire Lifestyles is a global business. To offer our services, we may need to transfer your personal information among several countries, including the United States. We comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area or Switzerland.
8. Data RetentionWe will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, any legitimate administrative or operational purposes, your requirements, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in connection with our relationship with you. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal data, we will securely delete or in some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be linked with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
9. Features and Links to Other WebsitesWithin the Site, you may choose to use certain features for which we partner with other entities, or click on links to other websites or applications for your convenience and information. These features, which may include social networking and geographic location tools, and other websites, may operate independently from Aspire Lifestyles. They may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review. To the extent any features or linked websites you visit are not owned or operated by Aspire Lifestyles, we are not responsible for any content or use of the third parties’ sites or applications, or the privacy practices of such sites or applications.
10. Updates to This Privacy NoticeThis Privacy Notice may be updated periodically and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our Personal Information practices. We will post a prominent notice on the Site to notify you of any significant changes to our Privacy Notice and indicate at the top of the notice when it was most recently updated. Your continued use of the Site subsequent to any changes to the Privacy Notice (as notified on our website) constitutes your acceptance of the changes. Please review our Privacy Notice on our websites periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes or updates.

Automatically collected non-Personal Information:
When you use Visa Concierge, we also may collect certain standard information from your browser and personal computer that websites often collect, such as your IP address, your browser information (including browser type, capabilities and language), your operating system and the date and time you accessed Visa Concierge. We also capture the country from which the visit came and the paths taken as you move from one website or webpage to another website or webpage (i.e., your "click stream" activity). We may use certain or all of this information to identify you in future visits to the Platform. We may group some or all of this information into aggregate data in order to describe the use of Visa Concierge by our users to our existing or potential business partners, sponsors, advertisers or other third parties, or in response to a government request. We may also group demographic information that we collect from Visa Concierge users into aggregate data for the same purposes. We reserve the right to use and share any such non-Personal Information with third parties for any lawful purpose.
Except for the purpose of identifying you in future visits to the Platform, Visa does not typically associate such non-Personal Information with any individual. However, to the extent Visa associates your Personal Information with non-Personal Information within our database, we will treat all the associated information as Personal Information under this Privacy Notice. Except as noted in this Privacy Notice, we do not share this associated information with third parties.
Browsing and the use of cookies, Web beacons and other tracking technologies; mashups and log
Visa uses cookie technology as part of Visa Concierge’s statistical reporting and for other purposes related to making Visa Concierge available to you. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a website that is saved on your hard disk by your computer's browser. It holds information a website may need to personalize your experience (such as, rotating images on the home page of the website).
We also utilize cookies to identify if you are logged into your Visa Concierge Account, including for purposes of providing certain features of Visa Concierge to you. Cookies may be operable for varying periods of time, depending on the Visa Concierge feature or features with which they are associated. If you prefer, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie and privacy preferences. However, if you reject cookies, your use of Visa Concierge will be materially impaired or may altogether preclude your use of Visa Concierge.
A Web beacon is an electronic image, also called a single-pixel or clear GIF, placed in the code of a webpage or in emails. The Platform uses Web beacons to track traffic patterns of users as they navigate from one page to another. This information lets us tune and improve our users' browsing experience. The information that Web beacons collect is aggregated, anonymous "click stream" data, and is not associated with you as an individual.
We also use Web beacons through a third party website analytics provider, as well as standard Web server log files, to help us count visitors and evaluate the Platform’s technical capacity. This information tells us how many people visit the Platform, and helps us decide how to arrange pages in the most user-friendly way. This also helps us keep the Platform browser/mobile-friendly and more useful to our users. We record information on Platform traffic, but not on individual visitors to the Platform, so no Personal Information about you will be kept or used.
LOCATION-BASED SERVICES:
The Platform may offer certain location-based services to you. You understand that these location- based features require the location details of your mobile device to function properly and your use signifies your agreement to use your location for purposes of the service. If you do not want the Platform to use location-based information, please refrain from using a location based service or click "DON’T ALLOW" when your mobile device requests your location-based information. If location-based information has been enabled on your mobile device, you may choose to disable this at any time by accessing the User Settings on your mobile device. Except as set forth in this Privacy Notice, your location will not be shared with third parties without your specific consent.
SURVEYS:
From time to time, Visa may conduct surveys through the Platform using a third-party service provider. If you choose to participate, unless otherwise noted in the applicable rules, terms and conditions, or disclaimers, we may use the information you provide to publish survey results in aggregate on the site. Except where necessary to administer the survey, unless you have otherwise agreed or unless required by law, we will not share or publish any response you give connected to your name or address. We will hold these responses only as anonymous statistics.
Questions and Comments via Email:
When you send us a comment or question via email, we use your email address to thank you for your comment or reply to your question. We store your communication and our reply in case we correspond further. Beyond our initial reply, we will not use your email address to send you any unsolicited message or information, nor will we share it with, or sell it to, anyone else for such use, other than as specified in this Privacy Notice.
Third party websites, content and resources:
Please be aware that when you are using Visa Concierge, you could be directed via hyperlinks or other means to third party websites, content and resources that are not affiliated with Visa Concierge. You may also have the opportunity to transmit data from Visa Concierge to another website, or receive data through Visa Concierge from another platform, without leaving the Platform (for example, if you choose to share an offer by posting it at or through a social networking platform). These third party websites, content and resources may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data or solicit and use your Personal Information in ways different than set forth in this Privacy Notice. The privacy policies of these third party websites, content and resources may be very different from this Privacy Notice. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the providers of these other websites, content and resources and cannot guarantee the security of any of your Personal Information collected, used or shared there.
Our policy regarding selling or renting of Personal Information:
It is our policy not to sell or rent your Personal Information to any third parties, except in the event of a bankruptcy or reorganization, or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, as further provided in this Privacy Notice.
YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES:
You can direct us not to share your Personal Information with third parties and opt out of receiving emails by sending an email to privacy@concierge-asia.visa.com.
You can cancel your enrolment by emailing us at privacy@concierge-asia.visa.com. If you choose to cancel your enrolment and your Account is no longer accessible, we still may retain and use your Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
HOW YOU CAN ACCESS AND EDIT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:
You can review or modify your Personal Information at any time by accessing the My Profile or Settings section on the Platform. You can also submit a request to edit your Personal Information at any time by sending an email to privacy@concierge-asia.visa.com and requesting the change.
BANNERS AND OTHER ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE PLATFORM:
The Platform may display banners and other advertisements that may be placed by third parties. Such advertisers may collect non-Personal Information when you click or scan one of their advertisements, by placing cookies on your computer or by using other technology. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any such third parties. In addition, we may share aggregate information about our visitors to third-party ad servers or potential advertisers in order to provide advertisements on the Platform about products and services that may be of interest to you.
HOW WE PROTECT THE SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:
The security of your Personal Information is very important to us, and we are committed to protecting the Personal Information we collect. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations to protect your Personal Information. Unfortunately, no transmissions or data available through the Internet can be 100% secure and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any Personal Information or other information you provide to us. As with any transmission over the Internet, such data may be accessed by unauthorized parties. You should always log out of the Platform after you have finished using Visa Concierge or are not using your device in order to minimize the chance of others accessing your Account.
CONSENT TO TRANSFER OF DATA:
Please note that information collected via the Platform may be stored and processed in other countries, including the United States, which may have different data protection laws than the country you reside in. You consent to our storage and processing of this information in the United States and other countries by using the Platform.
In order to provide the Visa Concierge services, we will be sharing your Personal Information with our Concierge service provider Aspire Lifestyles APAC Pte. Ltd. (“Aspire.”). Aspire will capture, store and manage your Personal Information as a third party supplier of Visa.
Further, Aspire may share your data with other 3rd party providers to enable or allow the provision of requested services to you. This includes and is not limited to merchants providing dining, travel, shopping and other services.
PRIVACY NOTICE UPDATES:
This Privacy Notice was updated on the "Last Updated" date noted above. We continually strive to find new ways to enhance Visa Concierge and Visa reserves the right to change, modify, or amend this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect changes in our privacy practices. You are encouraged to review this Privacy Notice periodically and to check the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Notice for the most recent version to inform yourself about how your Personal Information is collected, used and shared when you use Visa Concierge. To the fullest extent under applicable law, your use of Visa Concierge after the "Last Updated" date means you are subject to Privacy Notice then in effect.
