Website customisation and targeting of adverts
We use the data you give us about yourself to build up a picture of your interests - we then try to ensure that when you visit the site, you don't miss the offers and information relevant to you.
Air Tanzania and its reputable third party advertising companies will collect website usage information about visitors to our website for the purposes of statistical analysis, sales and marketing research, tracking page usage and paths used by visitors through our site, targeting the site content, targeting our marketing campaigns and direct marketing emails, targeting our Internet banner advertisements on our website and on other websites and tracking use of our Internet banner advertisements and other links from our marketing partners' websites to our website.

For information about cookies set by Air Tanzania and its third party advertisers (including how to opt out of receiving third party cookies) please visit our Cookie Policy.
We may also combine this web usage data with other information we have collected about you, for example, whether you have arrived at our site through a marketing email sent to an individual account, booking data and passenger name records you have entered, data about your user registration or executive club membership (if you have logged in), and web usage data stored against a previous cookie set on your machine. We store this information so that we have a better and more specific understanding of the way customers are using our site and their preferences and interests. We may use it to undertake sales and marketing research and to tailor our site, our marketing campaigns and email communications specifically to you, and your recent activity on our site.
How we use your booking data
We will record the personal details you submit to us in the process of making a booking or requesting a brochure. Your data will be used principally to meet your requirements. We retain the data you provide from time to time, including your purchase history and data we collect when you use our services and facilities. Your data may be used and retained for the following purposes: accounting, billing and audit, credit or other payment card verification and anti-fraud screening (which may, for example, involve the use of credit reference agency searches and nominal payment card revalidation checks), immigration and customs control, safety, security, health, administrative and legal purposes, statistical and marketing analysis, operation of frequent flyer programmes, systems testing, maintenance and development, customer surveys, customer relations and to help us in any future dealings with you, for example by identifying your requirements and preferences. For these purposes we may disclose your data to any of the following who may retain that data in accordance with applicable laws: other companies in the Air Tanzania group, airlines and other companies involved in meeting your requirements, our oneworld partner airlines and franchisees, data processing companies, travel agents, government and enforcement agencies, credit and charge card companies, credit reference agencies and screening service providers. This may involve sending your data between different countries, including countries outside the East Africa Comunity, including countries where under their local laws you may have fewer legal rights.
We will not use your data to contact you for direct marketing purposes without your consent. For further information, please read Direct marketing and how can you change your marketing preference? below. However, please be aware that where you abandon a booking part-way through the booking process, we may use your contact details to contact you to understand the reasons why.
Customs and Immigration Authorities
In addition, laws in several countries require Air Tanzania and other airlines to collect "Advance Passenger Information" (passport and associated information) for all passengers prior to travel to or from those countries. When required Air Tanzania will provide this information to the relevant customs and immigration authorities.
Direct marketing and how can you change your marketing preference?
We offer you the opportunity to receive information about exclusive fares, special offers and other news from Air Tanzania. We may use your purchase history to communicate information we think may interest you. To improve our picture of your interests we may link the data you give us about yourself with any data we have gathered (via cookies) about your use of the site.
You can sign up for direct marketing by registering on this website. You will also be asked if you want to receive direct marketing, and you may be asked if you make a booking with or request a brochure from Air Tanzania or a partner.
We try to ensure that customers do not receive duplicate communications even if we have more than one marketing consent from the same customer.
You will not receive direct marketing from companies outside Air Tanzania as a result of giving your details to us; if, in exceptional circumstances, we ever wanted to allow a third party to send you direct marketing, we would seek your consent before sharing your data with that third party.
We will normally send direct marketing by email if we have your email address.
If you would like us to stop sending direct marketing to you, we offer simple ways to do this. Whenever you receive direct marketing you will be told how to unsubscribe.
If you receive marketing communications as a registered customer you can change your marketing preferences at any time by amending your profile through Change My Details.

What countries will your data pass through?
We want our customers to benefit from Air Tanzania' international connections. Accordingly, in operating this site, as outlined in this privacy policy, we may send data about site visitors through or to other countries, both inside and outside Tanzania.
Why do we link to other websites?
We use links to other Internet sites to improve your experience of our website. We will always seek to make these links clear by opening them in a new window of your web browser. However, please be aware that these websites may be owned and run by other companies and organisations. Air Tanzania does not endorse any such websites and we are not responsible for the information, material, products or services contained on or accessible through those websites. Your access and use of such websites remains solely at your own risk. We cannot accept responsibility for any information you divulge to a linked website.
Confidentiality of your booking reference
When you make a booking you will be given a booking reference (also known as a PNR or Passenger Name Record). This will appear on the ticket of each person in your booking. We advise that your booking reference should be kept confidential at all times. Disclosure of your booking reference to others may allow them to access your booking details and itinerary through our system. If you are travelling with others and would not like your individual booking details accessed by them, you may prefer to have each person make separate bookings, to be individually paid for.
How do we keep your data secure?
We take the security of your data very seriously. Please link to our security policy to see what steps we take to keep the information you give to us secure.
Do we take statistical data?
We try to ensure that our website offers visitors exactly what they are looking for - to help us achieve this goal we may analyse data collected by cookies about how you use our emails and the website and link this to other information we have collected about you. Such data also helps us to measure the success of our advertising campaigns.
We may also collect Internet Protocol addresses to help diagnose problems with our servers and for system administration, and under normal circumstances we don’t link these addresses to any person’s name or identity. It is possible, in case of dispute with Air Tanzania and where it is relevant to the facts of that dispute, that we could contact your internet service provider to link an Internet Protocol address to a person's name or identity.
Can we make changes to this policy?
There may be developments in how we use your data - all such developments will be notified to you by updating this policy.
