Meneghetti Industry Katten Muchin Rosenman UK LLP Yasmin Roland The aviation industry, much like any other industry, generates vast amounts of just about every type of data – from engineering and Collection Points scientific data, to flight data and weather data, through to consumer Personal data is collected throughout the entire “passenger data, passenger data, security data, personal and in some cases (what experience” from the beginning, starting with the booking of an we in the EU refer to as) special categories of personal data (that is, airline ticket, to the potential purchasing of duty-free products on data regarding one’s race and ethnic origins, medical information, board, as demonstrated in the example set out below. religious beliefs and so on) [see Endnote 1]. A passenger wishing to travel from London Gatwick will log The generation of data gives rise to many questions, including: on to the Gatwick Airport website to find out the best way ■ where that data is collected; to travel to the airport. While browsing the Gatwick Airport ■ how that data is treated by the recipient or holder of that data; website, cookies will be collected which track the passenger’s movements through the airport’s website.
