This Privacy Policy applies to the Horizon Agents mobile application, a B2B platform reserved exclusively for authorised travel agents, operated by New Horizon Travel.
This document explains who we are, what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, how we keep it secure, and how you can request deletion of your account.
Please read this policy carefully. By using the application you are deemed to agree to its terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the application.
The Horizon Agents application is operated and managed by New Horizon Travel, which is responsible for processing your personal data under this policy.
New Horizon Travel is a specialist provider of flight reservation services to authorised travel agents through a B2B platform. We partner with global airline content providers to offer competitive fares and comprehensive service to our agents.
We only collect information necessary to operate the application and provide services to agents. The table below summarises the data categories and their purposes:
| Data Category | Examples | Purpose |
| Agent account data | Name, agency name, email, phone, password | Account creation & login |
| Passenger data | Name, date of birth, nationality | Completing flight bookings |
| Passport data | Passport number, issue/expiry dates, passport image | Auto-fill booking form (see Section 5) |
| Device data | Device type, OS, IP address | Security & performance |
| Notification token | Device push token | Sending booking notifications |
| Usage data | Pages visited, session date & time | Analytics & app improvements |
3.1 Registration & agent account
We collect the information you provide when registering as an authorised agent, such as your name, agency name, email address, and phone number.
3.2 When you make bookings
We collect passenger data that you enter as an agent — names, dates of birth and nationalities — solely to complete and issue flight reservations.
3.3 Device & usage data
The app automatically collects IP address, device type, operating system version, and usage logs for security and performance optimisation purposes. Such data alone cannot ordinarily identify any individual.
3.4 Notifications
We send notifications related to booking status and important updates. You will be asked to grant notification permission on first use, and you may disable notifications at any time from your device settings.
3.5 Direct communications
If you contact us by email or phone, we keep a record of those communications for support and follow-up purposes.

How we use your information
We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:
- Processing and issuing flight ticket reservations.
- Managing agent accounts and financial reports.
- Sending booking status notifications and updates.
- Providing technical support and customer service.
- Improving and developing the application.
- Complying with legal and regulatory requirements.
- Detecting fraud, abuse, or unauthorized use of the platform.
We will not use your data for any other purpose without obtaining your consent.
4.1 Logging & Audit
We maintain logs of booking activities, pricing operations, and agent account interactions for security, internal auditing, performance monitoring, and dispute resolution purposes.
5
Passport data handling (Sensitive data)
We treat passport data as sensitive personal data and apply enhanced protection measures.
The agent acts as an independent data controller for passenger data entered into the system and is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of such data and obtaining the traveller’s consent before submitting or sharing it.
5.1 How this data is collected
The agent may enter passport details manually in the booking form without uploading any passport image. The agent may also choose to use the auto-fill feature by uploading a passenger's passport image from the device to our servers over a secure, encrypted connection.
When the auto-fill feature is used, our server automatically extracts the essential fields — such as name, passport number, nationality, and issue/expiry dates — and returns that data to the app to auto-fill the booking form.
5.2 Purpose of processing
The sole purpose is to facilitate entry of traveller details and reduce manual entry errors, thereby completing the booking and issuing the ticket.
5.3 Retention & image protection
- Uploading a passport image is not always required, and the agent may manually enter passport details without using an image.
- When the auto-fill feature is used, the passport image is used only to extract the required data and is deleted from our servers after the extraction and use are completed. It is not stored as a permanent image in the booking records.
- The extracted text data (name, number, etc.) is stored as part of the booking record for operational and legal reasons (ticket issuance and tax reporting).
- This data is not used for any other purpose (such as marketing or analytics).
- It is not shared with any third party except airlines and air content providers that require it to issue the ticket.
🔐 As an agent, you are responsible for obtaining the traveller's consent to share their passport data with us and with the airlines.
