Is ch-aviation Contact Data GDPR compliant?

Yes. ch-aviation is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — Europe's data protection framework that replaced the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive.

What GDPR compliance means for our contact data

All contact data provided by ch-aviation is sourced through research of publicly available information. The data is collected on the basis of legitimate interest — both ch-aviation and its customers have a recognised and lawful interest in accessing contact information within the airline industry.

The data we provide is limited to names, email addresses, and social media profiles, and is provided exclusively in a B2B context. This is an important distinction under GDPR, and one that ch-aviation's legal advisers — as well as those of many of our customers — have consistently supported.

Additional compliance support for EU contacts

For contacts associated with EU entities, ch-aviation displays an additional compliance notice directly alongside the contact information. This gives users an extra layer of assurance when prospecting within EU markets, helping you stay informed when engaging with contacts who fall under GDPR jurisdiction.

Your responsibilities as a user

While ch-aviation's data collection and provision is GDPR-compliant, how you use that data is subject to your own obligations under GDPR. In particular, you should be aware of the following requirements:

• Being transparent with contacts about how their personal data is being used.
• Ensuring that any marketing emails sent to EU individuals comply with consent requirements or a valid legitimate interest basis.
• Providing recipients with a clear option to opt out of future marketing communications.

We recommend consulting your own data protection advisers to determine the appropriate use of contact data sourced from ch-aviation, particularly when sending commercial or marketing communications to EU-based contacts.
