We may also aggregate or de-identify your personal information to monitor website and mobile application traffic and the general demographics of our users.
How We Share Your Personal Information
We may share your personal information with third parties in certain circumstances, including the following:
- With service providers – We may share your information with vendors and contractors who need the information in order to perform services for us. These services may include operational and technical support, payment card processing, and data analytics. Generally, we take steps to require that our service providers use your personal information solely for the purposes of performing services for us and maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such information.
- As requested by you or with your consent – To the extent you affirmatively request or consent to our sharing of your information with third parties, we will do so based on your request or consent.

- To protect our rights – We reserve the right to release your information to law enforcement agencies if we determine, in our sole judgment, that either you have violated our policies, or the release of your personal information may protect the rights, property, or safety of Massport, or another person.
- As required by law or in response to a legal process – We may disclose information about you to law enforcement or in response to a legal process if we have a good faith belief that we are required to do so by law, including for national security or law enforcement requirements. This also includes sharing your information with governmental entities, or third parties in response to subpoenas, court orders, other legal process, or as we believe is necessary to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
In addition, we may share aggregate or de-identified information with third parties for marketing, advertising, and/or other lawful purposes.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you enter a website or a mobile application. It enables the website or mobile application to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time. Our website may use one or more of the following types of cookies and similar technologies (like pixels and tags), which are subject to change from time to time:
- Strictly necessary cookies and technologies, which enable you to use the services, load and view content, and access your account.
- Functionality cookies and technologies to help us remember you and personalize features and content for you on the services.
- Preference cookies and technologies that allow us to capture and store your information privacy related preferences, account settings, and certain login information.
- Analytics cookies and technologies that help us and our service providers compile statistics and analytics about platform users, including traffic, usage, demographic, and trend data. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with the platform. Google Analytics uses cookies to track your interactions with the platform, then collects that information and reports it to us. This information helps us improve the platform so that we can better serve you. If you wish, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
- Advertising cookies and technologies that display advertising, including ads targeted to your interests. These technologies can also collect and combine data from third party websites (including social media sites) to help build user profiles and gather statistics on the performance of our advertisements on other websites.
To learn more about cookies and similar technologies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Most web and mobile device browsers automatically accept cookies. If you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set. If you want to opt-out of receiving targeted advertisements based on your interest, you can visit the National Advertising Initiative’s (NIA) Consumer Opt Out page (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1), which will allow you to opt-out of seeing advertisements set by participating NAI members.
Some web browsers incorporate a Do Not Track or DNT feature that signals to the websites that you visit that you do not want to have your activity tracked. Presently, many websites and mobile applications, including our website, do not respond to DNT signals because such signals are not yet uniform. As a result, we and third parties may track your online activities, including over time and across different sites and apps.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, and/or reporting requirements, or as required or permitted by applicable law.
Security
We implement reasonable security measures and controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the personal information we collect. However, no transmission of information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We recommend that you use caution when sharing your personal information with us electronically, especially if such information is sensitive or confidential.
Your Rights and Choices
- Correct your information – You can request to correct certain personal information we maintain about you. To make such a request, please contact us using any of the methods described at the end of this Privacy Policy.
- Opting out of marketing communications – To stop receiving marketing emails from us, please click the “unsubscribe” link included in such an email you already received from us, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Notice to International Users
We are committed to complying with this Privacy Policy and the data protection laws that apply to our collection and use of your personal information.
