How your Information will be used
LAM uses personally identifiable information (PII) to complete transactions and fulfill requests for our services. LAM requires you to provide personal information when making a reservation to purchase airline tickets or ancillary travel products and services on this web site, or enrolling in the Flamingo Club program. In addition to processing, confirming and fulfilling the travel or other services you request, LAM may use these data for administrative and analytical purposes such as accounting, billing and audits, marketing, credit card processing and verification, customer-relations correspondence, and/or operation of the Flamingo Club program and information systems management in relation to the aforementioned.
To the extent required by applicable law, we may disclose personally identifiable information to government authorities, or to third parties pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, and we may also use or disclose your information as permitted by law to protect the rights or property of LAM, our customers, our website, or its users.
LAM does not sell any customer information or share your email address with third parties except in compliance with this policy. However, we may disclose customer information to companies affiliated with LAM and/or unaffiliated third parties to fulfill supply of the products and services you have requested. We may also disclose this information to third parties, such as employers, who have arranged for discounts, purchased travel or other services on your behalf, but only to the extent it is necessary for them to know such information. Additionally, LAM may combine the information we receive from you with information collected from other sources. This information would be used to provide offers and/or services specifically tailored to your interests. We will not use any data regarding your surfing behavior for marketing purposes (except on an anonymous basis) without first obtaining your explicit consent.
If we sell a business unit to another company and your personal data is used by that business unit then your data may be transferred to the buyer along with the business for them to use in the same way. We will not transfer the data if this is contrary to law.
Please indicate you consent to your data being used as described in this section “How Your Information Will Be Used” by ticking the relevant box situated on the form on which we collect your data.

It may also be processed by staff operating outside Mozambique who work for any company within the LAM group or for one of our third party suppliers. These staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your booking, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. The purposes of the processing of your data are as set out in the first paragraph of “How Your Information Will Be Used”. Those processing the data include service providers working with LAM providing internet booking engine services, computer reservation system services, online payment management services, and email services. LAM will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Cookies and Web Beacons
A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. Cookies will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. Two types of cookies are used on this website - session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and persistent cookies, which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie). Most browsers have options that allow the visitor to control whether the browser will accept cookies, reject cookies, or notify the visitor each time a cookie is sent. You may elect to reject cookies by adjusting your browser's settings, but doing so will limit the range of features available to the visitor on our site and most other major websites that use cookies. To find out more information about cookies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Web beacons are used in conjunction with cookies to record the simple actions of the user opening the page that contains the beacon. When a user's browser requests information from a website in this way certain simple information can also be gathered, such as: the IP address of your computer; time the material was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the image; and the existence of cookies previously set by that server. This is information that is available to any web server you visit. Web beacons do not give any "extra" information away. They are simply a convenient way of gathering the simplest of statistics and managing cookies.
Data Security
LAM takes your data security very seriously. In addition to complying with all applicable data security regulations, to ensure the highest possible security for the transmission of your data between your web browser and our internet system we use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypting technology. SSL is an industry standard way to send personal information over the Internet. It enables an encrypted communication respectively transfer of documents via the internet between web browser and web server. The URL of a website with SSL connection to your browser starts with https://. SSL is fast, secure, and it ensures that your personal information will not be read by anyone else.
