    2. Passenger - A Passenger is an individual traveling with Swoop, obtaining travel services from or through Swoop or any other entity, whether in connection with travel services from or through Swoop or otherwise.

      • You are a travel agent, or you are an employee, officer, director, contractor or agent of a travel agent (unless you are an agent but booking your own arrangements, in which case you are a Passenger); or

      Please note that Swoop collects and archives your IP address to use and disclose for identification and legal purposes in the event of unauthorized use or misuse of a credit or payment card fraud related to an online booking.

  2. Other terms to know:

    1. "act on behalf of", or similar words, means to enter into contracts or agreements in the name of or on behalf of a Passenger, which must be with their knowledge, consent and authority (unless they are a minor and you are their parent or guardian and have the legal right to do so on their behalf), and includes making travel arrangements or bookings, contracting for the supply of wares or services and supplying personal information of a Passenger or other individual in connection with doing so.

    2. The "Data" means any and all records, documents, data and information related to travel arrangements and bookings for Passengers, including without limitation information with respect to all travel arrangements, itineraries and schedules, contact persons, holders of credit or debit cards, dates and times of flight arrival, airlines and flight numbers, arrival and departure dates and times, hotel, lodging, accommodation bookings and schedules, Personal Information related to Passengers and persons accompanying Passengers, bookings on other carriers, including airlines, buslines, limousines, chauffeurs, tour operators and similar service providers, rental car bookings, and related matters.
