This Privacy Policy explains how American Airlines, Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "American") collects, uses, shares, and protects information both in connection with American’s online and offline services, systems, websites, and apps that refer or link to this Privacy Policy (our "Services"), and as explained below, including without limitation, the collection and processing of personal information in connection with bookings and travel on American Airlines or flights operated by our regional carriers (for example, Envoy Air, Piedmont Airlines and PSA Airlines), as well as loyalty data collected and processed in connection with the AAdvantage® program. This Privacy Policy applies regardless of the way you interact with our Services or the type of device or other means you use to access our Services.
Generally, the “Services” covered by this Privacy Policy fall into one of three categories:
Some services or programs offered by American (such as SimplyMiles® or AAdvantage eShopping®) may have additional privacy disclosures to help you understand the collection and use of your personal information under the terms of use of those programs. You will be provided notice of these additional privacy disclosures on the website or mobile app where you register for or use these services. Such disclosures should be read in addition to this Privacy Policy.
American reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the updated Policy here along with the date on which the Policy was changed. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy that affect the way we collect, use and/or share your personal information, we will notify you by including a "NEWLY UPDATED" label with the "PRIVACY POLICY" link on aa.com for 30 days after material changes are made. This Privacy Policy is not a contract and does not create any contractual rights or obligations.
When we use the term ‘personal information,’ we are referring to information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with you, including the categories and specific types of information described in this Privacy Policy.
We collect and maintain personal information about you from many sources to understand and meet your needs, facilitate your travel, manage our business, and for other purposes disclosed to you. For example, we collect or receive personal information about you from:
If the information is to be collected directly from you, you may in some cases have the option to decline providing American that information. However, your choice to not provide information may impact your use of certain features or services. For example, if you decline to provide information required by law for us to transport you, you will not be able to board or travel on our aircraft.
The personal information we collect about you when you search for, purchase, use, or manage your use of our Travel Services may include:
The personal information we collect about you when you enroll in, use, or manage your use of our Program Services may include:
The personal information we collect about you during your use of our Interactive Services may include:
To the extent that the personal information we collect constitutes sensitive personal information under applicable law, American will collect and process this sensitive personal information within the limits provided by applicable law. Where required by law, and where no other lawful bases exist for processing such data (such as to fulfill laws promoting a substantial public interest), American will seek your specific consent before processing sensitive personal information.
You may submit a request for services (such as a meal preference, or a request for wheelchair assistance) which is not sensitive personal information. American does not consider such data to reliably imply or suggest sensitive personal information.
In some instances, mobile devices or online services may offer you the choice of biometric identification such as fingerprint or facial recognition for enhanced security and convenience. Where possible, these security measures rely on your personal device’s own internal biometric management and secure storage, in which case American does not have access to any biometric information. You may contact your device’s biometric management creator (such as Apple or Google) for more information about their biometric security technology.
You may be offered opportunities to participate in programs that collect biometric information, which are offered to you in connection with your travel, but are not operated by American Airlines. For example, you may be offered the opportunity to participate in U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Biometric Exit program. When you choose to participate in these programs, your biometric information is not collected or stored by American, and we do not have access to or control of your biometric information. For information about these programs, please contact the agency or entity that operates the program.
When you provide information to us about your travel companions or other individuals (for example, when you make a booking that includes additional travelers), you confirm to us that you are acting on behalf of such individuals, and you have their permission to provide us their information for use in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not have their permission, you must not provide us with any personal information about these individuals.
If your travel companions or other individuals have questions about how their personal information will be processed by American, please refer them to this Privacy Policy.
American does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children – persons under the age of 13, or another age if required by applicable law – other than when required to comply with the law or for safety and security reasons. Due to the nature of our Services, we may collect travel information, which may include personal information, about children when it is required to comply with the law, including federal aviation or security regulations, as otherwise required to provide transportation needs and services, or for safety or security reasons. We may retain personal information when required to provide transportation and related services to a child, or in connection with services purchased or enrolled by the parent or guardian on the child’s behalf (such as a parent or guardian’s enrollment of their child in the AAdvantage® program).
If you are not the parent or guardian of the child, or otherwise authorized by the child’s parent or guardian, you must not provide us with any personal information of the child.
If you are a parent or guardian of a child who has provided personal information without your knowledge and consent, you may request we remove this child’s information by emailing us at privacy@aa.com.
When you use our Interactive Services, we may receive technical information such as your browser type, the type of operating system you use, your geolocation, the name of your internet service provider, mobile advertising identifiers, and pages visited. American gets this information by using technologies, including cookies, web beacons, and mobile device geolocation to provide and improve our Interactive Services and advertising, including across browsers and devices (also known as cross-device linking). We also use this information to verify that visitors meet the criteria required to process their requests and for reporting activity on our Interactive Services. For example, we may want to know how long the average user spends on our Interactive Services or which pages or features get the most attention. This technical information may be combined with information that is personally identifiable in order to personalize our Interactive Services and advertising to your interests, including across browsers and devices. For example, if you spend time reviewing a particular flight or destination but do not complete a travel reservation, we may use this information to show you targeted advertising about similar flights or destinations on our Interactive Services or on third-party websites. Some of this information may be shared with third parties, as described in the section titled “Information collected by third parties on our Services.”
Additionally, and with your specific consent where required by law, American may combine the information we receive from you with information collected from other sources. This information may be used to provide offers and / or services specifically tailored to your interests in accordance with applicable laws.
Some of the content, advertising, and functionality on our Interactive Services may be provided by third parties, including third parties that are not affiliated with us. As noted above, these third parties may collect or receive technical information about your use of our Interactive Services, including through the use of Cookies, and this information may be collected over time and combined with information collected on different websites and online services. Also, some third parties collect information about users of our Interactive Services in order to provide interest-based advertising (on our Interactive Services and elsewhere, including across browsers and devices, also known as cross-device linking).
For example, we may use third parties to collect, and share with us, usage information about how you interact with our Interactive Services, including personal information that you provide, website or app visits and interactions, and user inputs such as mouse clicks or keystrokes.
We use personal information to complete transactions and fulfill requests for our products and services. For example, we require you to provide personal information when making a reservation to purchase airline tickets or related products and services such as renting cars or booking hotel rooms through an American Airlines Reservations Agent, travel agent, the aa.com website or other travel-related website, or enrolling in the AAdvantage® and AAdvantage Business™ programs. We may also use personal information to verify your identity, including for security purposes.
In the event of a flight delay, cancellation, or other service disruption, we may use the contact information provided in your booking to notify you, and the individuals traveling on the same booking, about the disruption.
When you enter into a contract for Travel Services or Program Services with American, we will use your personal information for purposes related to operation of the relevant program and the provision of services or benefits related to that contract. For example, when you join or participate in a Program Service such as the AAdvantage® program, your personal information is collected and used to process, confirm and fulfill transactions and provide benefits as specified in the AAdvantage® terms and conditions, and as otherwise necessary for American to exercise its rights under those terms and conditions. Similarly, when you book or reserve travel on one of our Travel Services, your personal information is collected, used, and processed in connection with the applicable conditions of carriage for your travel.
Use of our Interactive Services may be subject to contractual terms, such as the AA.com site usage terms. Information about contractual terms that apply to use of an Interactive Service, are made available through the Interactive Service.
In addition to processing, confirming, and fulfilling the Travel Services or Program Services you request or use, and operating the Interactive Services that you choose to use, American may use personal information for administrative, analytical, and marketing purposes such as employee training, information systems management, accounting, billing and audits, credit card processing and verification, customer-relations correspondence, and/or operation and improvement of our Services. American also uses personal information to identify, develop and market products and services that we believe our customers will value, including across browsers and devices, in accordance with applicable laws. Where we are required by applicable law, we will seek your consent prior to sending you communications for marketing purposes. More specifically, we may use your personal information for the following purposes:
There are Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in operation within and around our stations and other premises, our reservations and customer service telephone systems may record calls in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and we also keep logs or records of customer interactions on our digital Interactive Services. Such devices may be used for purposes that include:
Where required by law, you will be provided notice at the time of any such recording.
We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information you provide to us.
American uses reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures to protect your personal information from loss, interference, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, both during transmission and once we receive it. We also maintain reasonable procedures to help ensure that such data is reliable for its intended use and is accurate, complete and current. When your personal information is shared, American will take a reasonable approach to prevent the unauthorized use of personal information.
Please note, however, that while American attempts to safeguard your personal information, no method of transmitting or storing electronic information is ever completely secure, and thus we make no warranty, express, implied, or otherwise, that your information will never be accessed, used or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Here are some things you can do to keep your information secure.
When you make a booking, you will be given a 6-character confirmation code, also known as a Passenger Name Record (PNR). This will appear on the email confirmation or ticket of each person in your booking. You should keep your record locator confidential, as giving it to others may allow them to access your booking details through our systems. If you are traveling with others and do not want them to have access to your booking details, you should have each person make their own bookings.
To make sure your access to our Services is secure; you should not share your log in details with anyone else. You should always log out of the Services after each use if others have access to your computer or device, especially if you are using a publicly accessible computer such as at a library or internet café. You should follow best practices for online security, such as using a different password for our Services than you do with other websites or services. American is not responsible if someone gains access to your accounts by obtaining your password.
Your personal information will be retained only for so long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out above and consistent with our retention policies, considering criteria such as applicable rules on statute of limitations, legal requirements and the duration of your use of our website and receipt of our Services. This retention will be at least for the duration of your customer relationship with us, and a longer period as necessary for legal defense purposes or as required by tax, aviation, and other applicable laws and regulations.
We generally retain personal information related to your use of our Travel Services or Program Services for up to seven years after you complete your travel or terminate your membership with us. This includes information obtained from your use of our Interactive Services (for example, when you book, manage, or cancel travel through our websites or mobile apps).
To the extent it is required to do so by law, American will permanently destroy any biometric data or identifiers in our possession once the initial purpose for collecting or obtaining them has been satisfied, or within three years of your last interaction with American, whichever comes first. This applies to any biometric identifiers or information received by American from any source, even if that source does not refer or link to this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose or share information about you to provide the products and services you request or use, or for administrative, analytical, and marketing purposes, including to:
If you book travel using your employer's corporate account, or participate in a corporate travel program such as AAdvantage Business™, your employer will have access to certain details related to your corporate travel, including the ticket price, travel dates, and your flight information. Your employer is independently responsible for how it collects and uses your personal information and informs you about it.
In addition, we may share information with certain third party companies with which we have a business relationship, including AAdvantage® and AAdvantage Business™ participants. These companies may send you marketing based on the information you have provided us. Where we are required by applicable law, we will seek your consent prior to sharing your personal information with such third parties for marketing purposes. Also, as described in the section titled “Opting out of marketing communications and sharing your information with third parties”, you can opt out of having your information shared with third parties for those parties' direct marketing purposes by emailing us at privacy@aa.com.
If your booking includes emergency contact information, we may share personal information with your emergency contact or attempt to collect information about you from your emergency contact, as appropriate based on the nature of the emergency.
Please note that the laws and regulations of several countries, including without limitation, the requirements imposed under the Transportation Security Administration Secure Flight program, require to provide foreign and domestic government agencies with access to the personal information you disclose to us and data that we have about you and your travel plans, history, or status, including both before and after a flight arrives. For example, American and other airlines comply with legal obligations in the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom (UK), member states of the European Union, Uruguay, Brazil (BR), and other countries to provide border control agencies and customs authorities with access to booking and travel data when you fly to and from such countries, including stopover or layover destinations or countries that you may overfly en route to your destination. American does not have control or knowledge of the storage and use of that data after it has been delivered to the respective government entity.
Further, to the extent required by law, we may disclose personal information to government or law enforcement agencies, such as customs and immigration authorities, or to third parties pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, and we may also use or disclose your information to law firms and courts, as permitted by law or to enforce or apply a contract with you.
We may also disclose your personal information to protect the rights or property of American and providers and users of our Services, including our employees and customers. For example, we may disclose personal data to law enforcement or first responders in connection with a medical emergency or incident, or to public health authorities for purposes of combating infectious disease.
We'd also like to remind you that we provide additional links to resources we think you'll find useful. These links will lead you to sites that are not affiliated with American and may operate under different privacy practices. Our visitors are responsible for reviewing the privacy policies for such other websites, as we have no control over information that is submitted to these companies.
We provide you with options to stop receiving marketing messages from us. Regardless of your opt-out preferences, we reserve the right to send you certain communications for transaction fulfillment, notifications of changes to our Services, and other operational purposes.
If you’re an AAdvantage® member and you want to opt out of receiving marketing emails, log in to your AAdvantage® profile and update your preferences, or contact AAdvantage® Customer Service. Please note, you’ll continue to receive AAdvantage® program updates and email products for which you’ve subscribed. If you’re an AAdvantage Business™ member and you want to opt out of marketing emails, log in to the AAdvantage Business™ website and update your preferences.
If you’re not an AAdvantage® program member or you want to opt out of marketing emails, you can click the opt-out or unsubscribe link in the marketing email you receive to manage your marketing preferences. You can also send an email from the email address you wish to unsubscribe with the word “unsubscribe” in the subject line to privacy@aa.com. When you do this, we will unsubscribe all users with the same email address, even if they are registered AAdvantage® members or AAdvantage Business™ members with registered preferences.
We may send you marketing offers through other channels. For example, we may offer you the opportunity to receive push notifications of special offers through our mobile app. Where required by law or by mobile app store rules, we will obtain your consent prior to sending you such marketing. You can manage push notifications in our mobile app or in your device notification settings.
If you have any other questions about opting out of marketing communications, or managing your marketing preferences, please email privacy@aa.com with your request.
If you want American to stop sharing your personal information with third parties for those parties' direct marketing purposes, please opt out of third-party data sharing.

For example, we may share your personal information with companies or programs of American partners (such as other airlines, hotels, rental car companies, co-brand credit card partners, and other AAdvantage® program participating companies) when you request to earn or redeem AAdvantage® miles for their services. These other companies have their own business relationships with you, and may require different steps to change your preferences for participation. Please consult the privacy policies of the relevant companies or programs for further information.

This time may be extended by an additional two months in certain circumstances, for example, where requests are complex or onerous. Please note, these requests are subject to applicable legal, ethical reporting, or document retention obligations imposed on us.
When you provide us with your information, you acknowledge that this information may be stored, transferred, and processed on servers located anywhere in the World, including either inside or outside of the U.S., the European Union, the U.K., Switzerland, Uruguay, or Brazil.
