PRIVACY DISCLOSURES


 


 


 

 

 

 

At American Express, we value your trust and respect your privacy.

Explore our Privacy Disclosures to learn more about our privacy policies,
principles, and notices.


 

 

 

Privacy Statement Privacy Notices Privacy Principles

 

 

Effective Date: March 4, 2022 

 

At American Express, we are committed to safeguarding your privacy. We want you
to know how we may collect, use, share, and keep information about you and the
choices that are available to you.

 

When we provide American Express products or services to you, we may also give
you specific additional details about how we will use your Personal Information.
If you have an American Express product or service that is not provided by
American Express (such as a card issued by one of our partner banks), please
review the relevant privacy notice that covers such product or service or
contact your product or service provider for information about their privacy
practices.

 

This online privacy statement applies to American Express websites, online
applications ("apps") that run on smart phones, tablets, and other devices that
link to this statement. It does not apply to those websites that have their own
online privacy statements including the American Express Network
website, amexnetwork.com. 

 

Our websites and apps are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do
not knowingly solicit data online from, or market online to, children under 13
years of age. 

 

Since we may change this online privacy statement, we recommend that you check
the current version available from time to time. If we make changes to this
statement, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.

 

 

What information does this Online Privacy Statement cover?

This online privacy statement describes how we (and our Service Providers) may
collect, use, share and keep information that we get about you online. We
gather Online Information if you:
 
 * Visit or use our website or apps;

 * Receive or reply to electronic communications from us;

 * View or click on our ads or other online content; and

 * Interact with us through social media websites and other websites and
   applications.

Some Online Information is Personal Information.

 

In this statement, we also explain how we may combine Online Information with
Other Information and how we then use the combined information.



What information do we collect online and how do we collect it?

The types of information we collect depends on which product or service you
use. 

 

Sometimes you give information directly to us (or to our Service Providers). For
example, you might give us your name, account number, email, mailing address,
biometric data, phone number, or date of birth when you:

 * fill out an online form or survey, including when you book travel with us; 

 * register, log into or update the settings on your account using our online
   services; 

 * enter a competition or register for a marketing offer; or

 * sign up for our products and services.

We (and our Service Providers or Third-Party Ad-Servers) also collect
information through Cookies and Similar Technologies. Most Cookies and Similar
Technologies will only collect De-Identified Information such as how you arrive
at our website or your general location. However, certain Cookies and Similar
Technologies do collect Personal Information. For example, if you click Remember
Me when you log in to our website, a cookie will store your username. 

 

We (and our Service Providers or Third-Party Ad-Servers) may collect information
using Cookies and Similar Technologies about: 

 * the device you use to browse our websites or to access our apps (for example,
   we may collect information about the operating system or the browser version
   and the type of device you use to open electronic communications from us); 

 * the IP address and information related to that IP address (such as domain
   information, your internet provider and general geographic location);

 * browsing history on our website or in our apps (such as what you search for,
   the pages you view, how long you stay, and how often you come back);

 * how you search for our website, from which websites you link to our website,
   and which of our Business Partners’ websites you visit; 

 * which ads or online content from us and our Business Partners you view,
   access, or click on; 

 * your browsing and app use activities over time, and across other websites and
   apps, following your visit to one of our websites or apps (Service Providers
   or Third-Party Ad-Servers perform such activities on our behalf);

 * the likely associations among different browsers and devices; 

 * whether you open our electronic communications and which parts you click on;

 * and the location of your mobile device (for example, when you use mobile
   websites or apps to register to receive location-based content).
   

 

We (and our Service Providers or Third-Party Ad-Servers) may also collect
information made available through third-party platforms and apps (such as
online social media platforms), through online databases or directories, or that
is otherwise legitimately obtained. This information may be governed by the
privacy notice(s) provided by the third party at the time of collection.

 

 



How do we use the information we collect about you?

We may use Online Information we collect about you on its own or combine it
with Other Information to:
 
 * deliver products and services, including to: 

 * recognize you when you return to our websites or use our apps across multiple
   devices; 

 * complete transactions;

 *  tell you about updates to your accounts, products, and services;  

 * update you about new features and benefits; 

 * answer questions and respond to your requests made through our websites and
   through third-party websites (including social media); 

 * use the location of your mobile device for location-based services that you
   may request; 

 * determine how to best provide services to you and manage your accounts, such
   as the best way and time to contact you;

 * improve our websites or apps and make them easier to use;

 * advertise and market our products and services – and those of our Business
   Partners – including to: 

 * present content or ads online that are tailored to your interests,
   including Targeted Advertising, across multiple devices; send or provide you
   with ads, promotions, and offers; 

 * analyze whether our ads, promotions, and offers are effective; 

 * help us determine whether you may be interested in new products or services;

 * provide location-based content and advertising personalization;

 * conduct research and analysis, including to: 

 * better understand our customers and our website visitors or app users;

 * allow you to give feedback by rating and reviewing our products and services
   and those of our Business Partners; 

 * produce data analytics, statistical research, and reports;

 * review and change our products and services; manage fraud and security risk,
   including to: 

 * detect and prevent fraud or criminal activity; 

 * safeguard the security of your information; 

 * assess credit risks relating to our business, including to:

 * evaluate and process your applications for our products and services and
   manage your existing accounts; and 

 * use it in other ways as required or permitted by law or with your consent.

American Express has relationships with several third-party advertising networks
and social media partners (also known as Advertising Partners) that allow us to
serve you with targeted advertising that is relevant to you when you are on a
third-party website.  We only work with Advertising Partners who adhere to
industry standards and provide you with the ability to opt out of such targeted
advertising.  We encourage you to learn more about targeted advertising and the
choices you have by referring to the privacy statement and ad preferences of
our Advertising Partners.

 



How do we share your information?

How do we treat your Personal Information?  

 

We may share Personal Information as requires or as permitted by law, with: 

 * credit bureaus and similar institutions to report or ask about your financial
   circumstances, and to report or collect debts you owe; 

 * regulatory authorities, courts, and governmental agencies to comply with
   legal orders, legal or regulatory requirements, and government requests; 

 * our Service Providers, regulatory authorities, and governmental agencies to
   detect and prevent fraud or criminal activity, and to protect the rights of
   American Express or others; 

 * the American Express Family of Companies;

 *  our Service Providers who perform services for us and help us operate our
   business (we require Service Providers to safeguard Personal Information and
   only use your Personal Information for the purposes we specify); 

 * financial institutions or Co-brand Partners with whom we jointly offer or
   develop products and services, in connection with those joint offering; or

 *  necessary parties in the context of a sale of all or part of the American
   Express Family of Companies or their assets.

 

We only share Personal Information with third parties for their own use with
your consent, or, if applicable, as otherwise described in the Business Card
Privacy Notice.

 


We may transfer Personal Information to Service Providers or companies within
the American Express Family of Companies throughout the world, for example, to
process transactions and provide you with our products or services. Regardless
of where we process your information, we still protect it in the manner
described in this online privacy statement and according to the applicable laws.

 

How do we handle Aggregated and De-identified Information?

 

Aggregated Information or De-identified Information does not identify you
individually; it helps analyze patterns among groups of people. We may share
Aggregated Information or De-identified Information in several ways, for
example; 

 * for the same reasons as we might share Personal Information

 * with Business Partners to help develop and market products or services and
   present targeted content and Targeted Advertising;

 * with Business Partners to conduct analysis and research about customers and
   website visitors; or 

 * with Third-Party Ad-Servers to place ads (including ads of our Business
   Partners) on various websites and apps, and to analyze the effectiveness of
   those ads.

 



How do we keep and safeguard your information?

We use administrative technical and physical security measures to protect
your Personal Information. These measures include computer safeguards and
secured files and facilities. We take reasonable steps to securely destroy or
permanently de-identify Personal Information when we no longer need it. We will
keep your Online Information only as long as we must to deliver our products and
services, unless we are required by law or regulation or for litigation and
regulatory investigations to keep it.






What are your choices?

 

You have choices about how American Express uses your information, such as how
we market to you or how we manage Cookies and Similar Technologies. 


We participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) self-regulatory program
and adhere to the DAA principles for Online Behavioural Advertising. Click
here to learn more about the DAA and your choices related to Targeted
Advertising. If you do not want to receive Targeted Advertising from American
Express on websites, Click here. If you do not want to receive Targeted
Advertising from American Express in apps, you can turn off mobile device ad
tracking or reset the advertising identifier in your device setting, where these
tools are available from your device platform, on each of the devices that you
use. If you do not want to receive Targeted Advertising using precise location
data, you can turn off location-based services in your device settings.

 

 

What are your choices about how we directly market to you?

 

You can choose how you would like to receive direct marketing communications -
whether we send them to you through postal mail, email and/or telephone. If you
choose to not receive marketing communications from us, we will honor your
choice. Please be aware that if you choose not to receive such communications,
certain offers attached to the product or services you have chosen may be
affected. We will still communicate with you in connection with servicing your

Effective: May 15, 2018
 
 The following Data Protection and Privacy Principles (“Principles”) set out the
way that American Express Company and its wholly owned direct and indirect
subsidiaries (“American Express”) will collect, use, store, share, transmit,
delete or otherwise process (collectively “process”) your personal data.
Personal data means any information that relates to an identified or
identifiable individual. The standard of personal data protection set out in
these Principles will be used by American Express globally, providing adequate
and consistent protection for the processing of your personal data. In these
Principles, “you” and “your” means any individual customer or employee of
American Express and any other individual whose personal data we process and
“we”, “us”, “our” and “American Express Group” means American Express.
 
 

Collection

We will only collect personal data that is needed and by lawful and fair means.




Notice and Processing

Where it is not apparent from the products or services you require or the nature
of your relationship with us, we will tell you how your personal data will be
processed and which companies in the American Express Group are responsible for
that processing. We will process your personal data fairly and only for those
purposes we have told you, for purposes permitted by you or as permitted by
applicable law. In addition, you may object to certain types of processing as
expressly permitted by applicable law.




Choice

We give customers the option of having their personal data included or removed
from lists used for marketing as required by applicable law. This includes
product and service offers from American Express and those made in conjunction
with our business partners. Of course each of our businesses will continue to
send customers information about the products or services they receive from that
business.




Data Quality

We use appropriate technology and well-defined employee practices to process
your personal data promptly and accurately. We will not keep your personal data
longer than is necessary, except as otherwise required by applicable law.




Security and Confidentiality

We will keep your personal data confidential and limit access to your personal
data to those who specifically need it to conduct their business activities,
except as otherwise permitted by applicable law. We refer to industry standards
and use reasonable administrative, technical and physical security measures to
protect your personal data from unauthorised access, destruction, use,
modification or disclosure. We require industry standard data security measures
from those third parties who are authorized by us to process your personal data
on our behalf.




Data Sharing

We only share your personal data with third parties where it is necessary to
provide you with products or services or as part of the nature of our
relationship with you, where we have previously informed or been authorized by
you, in connection with our efforts to reduce fraud or criminal activity, or as
permitted by law.




Openness and Data Access

If you ask, we will inform you about how your personal data is processed and the
rights and remedies you have under these Principles. You may inquire as to the
nature of the personal data stored or processed about you by American Express.
You will be provided access as is required by law in your country, regardless of
the location of the data processing and storage. If any data is inaccurate or
incomplete, you may request that the data be amended.




International Transfer

Where it is not apparent from the international products or services you require
or the nature of your relationship with us, we will inform you if your personal
data may be transferred outside of your country and ensure that such transfer is
only performed in accordance with applicable law. Regardless of where your
personal data is transferred, your personal data is protected by these
Principles.




Responsibility

Each company in the American Express Group and their employees may only process
your personal data in accordance with these Principles. We conduct training and
reviews of our compliance with these Principles. Employees who violate these
Principles may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
Employees are expected to report violation of these Principles, and may do so to
their managers, to their business unit's compliance officer, to the legal
department, to the Privacy Office or to the Amex Ethics Hotline.




Accountability

You may enforce these Principles in your country against any company in the
American Express Group that is responsible for your personal data, as a third
party contractual beneficiary to these Principles. If you have a complaint that
we have breached these Principles and have attempted in good faith to resolve
the complaint through our customer service process, but the complaint was not
resolved by us within a reasonable amount of time, then you may enforce these
Principles against us. If you complain to your local data protection authority
and the data protection authority finds that we have breached these Principles,
we will abide by the findings of the data protection authority, but we reserve
the right to challenge or appeal such findings. These Principles do not affect
any rights you have under applicable law, the requirements of any applicable
regulatory data protection authority, or any other type of agreement that you
may have with us.



 

These Principles emphasize our commitment to protect your personal data. They
are binding on all companies in the American Express Group, demonstrating our
commitment to privacy. In addition, each company in the American Express Group
that holds personal data may maintain its own additional rules and practices for
particular products or services, consistent with these Principles. If you have
questions or comments about these Principles, please contact us at American
Express.
