Penzance Helicopters Privacy Policy
Starspeed Limited
This website (and any mobile site or mobile application that link to this Privacy Policy) (collectively, the “Sites”) is owned and operated by Starspeed Limited (company number 1371670), whose registered office is at West Entrance, Fairoaks Airport, Chobham, GU24 8HU, United Kingdom ("Starspeed”, “we”, “our”, and “us”). This Privacy Policy applies to Starspeed and covers our processing activities as a “data controller” under UK and European data protection law in relation to the collection, processing and storage of personal information. If you have made a flight booking with us but one or more flights are to be provided by other airline(s) then that other airline will also separately be considered a data controller and you should access their own privacy policies via their websites. Equally, any provider of services such as a hotel or car rental company will also be a data controller. Again, please access their privacy policies directly.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and disclose personal information that we collect when you visit the Sites or communicate with us both on the Sites and offline as an actual or prospective customer, purchaser of services, or general contact.
This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Website Terms and Conditions, accessible via this link Website Terms and our Conditions of Carriage, accessible via this link Conditions of Carriage.
We are registered with the United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office under registration number ZA917174.
We are not required to appoint a formal data protection officer under data protection laws. However, we have appointed a Data Protection Contact who you can contact about any queries you may have in relation to this Privacy Policy.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose, or as otherwise required by law. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, where we are legally permitted to do so, we will notify you in a timely manner and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
MARKETING
You may receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or registered to use the Sites and, in each case, where you have not opted out of receiving that marketing (please see above “HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION”).
You have the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:
- contacting us as provided in “Contacting Us” above; or
- using the “unsubscribe” link with each marketing communication.
- Travel service providers and agents: we share your information with other companies (including any affiliated companies) involved in providing your transportation or related services and facilities. We also share information with our agents in order to provide our services to you.
- Service providers: we use third parties to assist with the running of the Sites and our services including hosting providers, IT providers, software providers, marketing database providers, and accountants etc. In order to obtain these services, we need to share your personal information with such third parties. Our third-party service providers are subject to security and confidentiality obligations and are only permitted to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
- Social media networks: we use social sharing and other “widgets” to enable interaction with social media networks. Some of these social media networks track your visit to our Sites (or any other website that uses the widgets) because when you visit those websites, they may place personally identifiable “cookies” in your browser which are then transmitted back to the social network when you visit other sites that happen to use that network’s social sharing widgets (even if you don’t “click” on or interact with the widget).
- Government agencies: we may be required by applicable law to provide your information to Government or Enforcement agencies, such as customs and immigration authorities. Any supply by us of such information to such agencies will be carried out in line with applicable legislation.
- Legal third parties: we may share your information with law firms, law courts, the police or regulatory authorities to enforce or apply any contract with you or to protect our rights, property, customers, staff and/or assets.
- Credit and other payment card companies and screening companies: we may provide information to such companies to effect the purchase by you of services from us, in accordance with the Conditions of Carriage and Website Terms, to process payments and (where necessary) to carry out fraud-screening.
- Other websites and marketing agencies: We may provide usage information (including your personal details) to marketing agencies to enable advertising on websites or social networks. We may also may provide such usage information (but not your personal details) to other websites to indicate you have visited our Sites.
- in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal information to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets, including for the purpose of permitting the due diligence required to decide whether to proceed with a transaction;
- if all or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal information held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets;
- if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation;
- if you we have requested and obtained your consent to such disclosure;
- if necessary to protect the vital interests of a person; and
- to enforce or apply our terms and conditions or to establish, exercise or defend our rights and those of our staff, customers or others.
We aim to action requests to stop being sent marketing communications within 10 working days of receiving those requests, but it is possible you will receive some marketing in the period prior to that change being made.
Please note that if you tell us that you do not wish to be sent further marketing communications, you will still receive service communications as necessary, for example, to confirm your booking or to provide you with an update on its status.
WITH WHOM WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We do not share your personal information with third parties except as provided in this Privacy Policy. We share your information with the following third parties:
In addition, We may disclose information about you in the following circumstances:
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
In the course of providing services to you, it may be necessary to transfer your personal information outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). In addition, we may transfer your data to parties in countries outside the country in which you are located to provide services to us. Where personal information is transferred to and stored in a country not determined by the European Commission as providing adequate levels of protection for personal information, we take steps to provide appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information by implementing standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
If you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information out of the EEA, please contact us using the details set out above.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use appropriate physical, technical and organisational security measures to protect personal information both online and offline from unauthorised use, loss, alteration, destruction or modification. We use physical and procedural security measures to protect information.
Where data processing is carried out on our behalf by a third party, we take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to prevent unauthorised disclosure of personal information.
Despite these safeguards, however, we cannot guarantee the security of information.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Your personal information will not be kept for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and processed. We will retain your personal information for as long as your registration on the Sites is active or as needed to provide you with services or information you have requested.
We will actively review the information we hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymise it, when there is no longer a legal, business or customer need for it to be retained. If you stop interacting with us as a customer, we will remove or anonymise your information after 7 years.
YOUR RIGHTS
ACCESS TO AND UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
You have the right to access information which we hold about you. However, there are some limited exceptions to this right, such as information relating to others who have not consented to the disclosure of their information and information which is legally privileged.
You may also have the right to receive personal information which you have provided to us in a structured and commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another data controller. That right only applies where your personal data is processed by us with your consent or for the performance of a contract and when processing is carried out by automated means.
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct, modify or remove information you think is inaccurate by contacting us as provided in the “Contacting Us” section above. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
RIGHT TO OBJECT
Direct marketing
You have the right to object at any time to our processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Where we process your information based on our legitimate interests
You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal information which is based on our legitimate interests. Where you object on this ground, we shall no longer process your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
YOUR OTHER RIGHTS
You also have the following rights under applicable data protection laws.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to:
- request the erasure of your personal information;
- restrict the processing of your personal information to processing in certain circumstances; and
- request that personal information which identifies you be anonymised.
Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests, wholly or partly, subject to applicable law.
For example, we may refuse a request for erasure of personal information where the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. We may refuse to comply with a request for restriction if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive or we have other compelling legitimate reasons that override your rights.
EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS
You can exercise any of your rights as described in this Privacy Policy and under applicable data protection laws by contacting us as provided in the “Contacting Us” section above.
Except as described in this Privacy Policy or provided under data protection laws, there is no charge for the exercise of your legal rights. However, if your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either: (a) charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or taking the action requested; or (b) refuse to act on the request. We will generally seek to respond to your requests within 1 month, but responses may take up to 3 months in the event of more complicated requests.
Where we have reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the person making the request, we may request additional information necessary to confirm your identity.
A record of any such request (including any personal information supplied) will be retained in the application used to carry out this request out for 3 years from the date of completion of the same.
For legal reasons, we are unable to erase personal information if you i) have flown with us in the past 13 months or ii) if you hold a forward booking with us. Equally, we will be unable to erase personal information if you have an outstanding complaint against us, or have made such a complaint in the past 6 years. We are required to retain this information in the event that the complaint must be re-opened.
If we comply with your request, we will remove your personal information from our active systems. However, we are obliged by law to retain a separate and restricted copy of the identifying information for 7 years to meet our obligations in respect of law enforcement, national authorities and legal proceedings.
