Privacy Policy
Passport Unlimited is a US-based company located and operating only in the United States. Any personal information submitted or uploaded to Passport is processed in the United States and not transferred outside the United States.
Passport Unlimited is committed to your privacy. This privacy policy describes what information we collect from you and what we use if for; how you can update, export and delete your information; and how we keep the personal information you share with us safe. This privacy policy applies to all Passport’s websites and mobile apps. Specific client membership programs operated by Passport Unlimited may utilize program- or employer-specific Privacy Policy and Terms of Use language. Please visit your membership program website to view the policy and terms specific to your membership.
We change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We always indicate the date the last changes were published for your review. Changes will become effective immediately upon publication, but will not apply retroactively. If changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (such as a website banner or email notification) for your awareness.
1. What is Personal Information?
“Personal information” is information that can be associated with a specific person and could be used to identify that specific person whether directly from that data or when combined with data and other information that Passport has or is likely to have access to. We do not consider personal information to include anonymized or aggregated clickstream data (such as hardware, OS and browser information) as it cannot be be used to identify a specific person.
2. The Personal Information We Collect & Where We Get It
We collect personal information when you perform any of the following: sign into our website, register or update a member profile, submit a survey, contact member support, submit a suggestion form, or use our mobile app. In some cases, elements of your profile information are verified or provided by your employer (or entity through which your membership was made available), such as through a single-sign-on workflow using existing external account credentials or via a data file provided by your employer which we use to validate that you are eligible to participate in the program.
To populate your member profile, we always collect your first and last name, local region (e.g.: city/state), and email address. In cases where we must fulfill a physical membership card, we also collect your company name, mailing address, and phone number.
When visiting our website or using our mobile app, the IP address of your device and other clickstream data (such as hardware, OS and browser information) is collected in our temporary system logs. When using our mobile app, we also collect the geo-location (if location permissions are enabled) and a unique notification identifier for your device.
3. How We Use the Information We Collect
We use your personal information in combination with the local region (e.g.: city/state) in your member profile to provide you with a personalized experience. Based on the email preferences you configure, we will use your personal information to send you emails, information about Passport Unlimited, or other promotional materials related to your membership. Independent of your email preference settings, we may occasionally send notices or messages of a transactional or relationship nature (e.g.: receipts or renewal notices).
We use your device geolocation, the publicly-available geolocation associated to your IP address, and/or the local region (e.g.: city/state) in your member profile to display localized content when you are browsing our website or using our mobile app. When you install our mobile app (or anytime thereafter), you may choose not to share (or to stop sharing) your geolocation by disabling the location permission for our app on your device.
We use the unique notification identifier for your device(s) in order to deliver “push” notifications targeted to the device(s) associated to your membership. The settings that control these notifications are managed on your device; they are not managed as a part of your member profile. You may choose not to receive (or to stop receiving) notifications by disabling the notification permission for our app on your device.
If you have questions about location and notification settings, please contact your mobile service provider or the manufacturer of your device to learn how to adjust your settings.
When your membership is provided by an employer or other entity, elements of your personal information are periodically used to verify your continued membership eligibility by your employer (or entity through which your membership was made available).
We use web forms throughout our website and mobile app for customer comments and suggestions. Any information we collect from emails or web forms is used for the purpose of responding to your questions or comments. We may also retain your comments to improve our site or mobile app and program, or review and discard the information.
When you contact Passport Unlimited, we keep a record of your communication to help answer questions and resolve any issues you might encounter. These communication records are associated to your member profile in order to facilitate and optimize our support of your membership.
If you are a consumer in the European Union, we will only process your personal information when we have a legal basis to do so. When we do process your personal information, we will do so with your consent or because the processing is necessary: for the performance of a contract with you; to comply with our legal obligations; to pursue our legitimate interests; or to establish or defend a legal claim.

Unless we tell you differently, they do not have any right to use your personal information beyond what is necessary to assist us. Passport Unlimited and the service providers that we use are located in the United States and any information we collect about you or that you provide to us will therefore be processed and stored within the United States.
In the event that Passport Unlimited or a portion of our business are sold, your personal information may be among the assets transferred. The purchasing party would be required to apply this Privacy Policy to their use of your personal information should such information be included in the purchase.
