Travel ID Privacy Notice

September 2025

The purpose of this Travel ID Privacy Notice (referred to below as “Privacy Notice”) is for us to inform you about the processing of your personal data in connection with your use of Travel ID.

We, the airlines of the Lufthansa Group and Miles & More GmbH, as the operators of Travel ID, would like to offer you our services within the Lufthansa Group in the most convenient way possible and provide you with a travel experience that is tailored to you and your particular wishes and expectations, from your first visit to our website and other touchpoints through to the end of your trip and beyond. Travel ID gives you the option of creating a free customer profile that is valid for all Travel ID operators and allows you access to a wide range of services.

Creating a Travel ID profile and providing the data needed for this is voluntary. However, some of our services are available exclusively to our Travel ID customers. This applies, for example, to the option of receiving personalised flight offers and additional services on the booking platforms of the Lufthansa Group Airlines.

This privacy statement is aligned with the applicable data protection regulations; depending on the scope of application, these include the GDPR as well as any other legally provided national data protection laws and regulations.

When you register for Travel ID, we ask for your email address, your title, your first and last names, your date of birth and a password as mandatory information. Your country and preferred language settings will be automatically transferred, where technically feasible, using the country and language settings you entered on the respective websites or other touchpoints of the Travel ID operators. This is the minimum information required to create a Travel ID profile. If you register for the Miles & More programme at the same time, providing your address and contact details will also be obligatory.

In order to take advantage of all the benefits of the Travel ID, you have the option of adding more information to your Travel ID profile on a voluntary basis. This may include your mobile phone number or preferences (e.g. your preferred departure airport).
You also have the option of adding one or more travel partners to your profile. Please note that this is only permitted with the consent of the person in question.

In your Travel ID profile, you can also give and withdraw your consent to the processing of data for different purposes. This includes the so-called “cookie settings”, which we automatically apply as per your selection when you visit our websites and mobile apps. This saves you the trouble of repeatedly choosing these settings when you access these touchpoints.
In addition, you can view and edit your settings for the personalisation of our offers and sending of customised advertising communications.
If you belong to the customer groups defined by us, you also have the option of consenting to the use of our proactive Top Customer Relation Services.

Based on the activities that you have linked in your Travel ID profile, you may be shown anonymous statistics (e.g. your position in the ranking of kilometres flown) and/or so-called badges (e.g. awards for achieving specific targets).

If you want to create a Travel ID profile for your child or your child would like to create their own profile and is under the age of 18, the consent of a parent or legal guardian is required. After sending the completed registration form, the parent or legal guardian will receive an email requesting them to consent to the creation of the Travel ID profile by clicking on the link provided in the email. If the parent or legal guardian does not consent within the specified timeframe, all personal data entered will be deleted.

The legal basis for processing your data is the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

You also have the option of saving additional personal data, such as your preferred payment method or travel documents, in your Travel ID profile on the basis of your consent. You can find details about this in the relevant sections of this Privacy Notice.

If necessary for fulfilling the contract, we may send you messages about your Travel ID profile. Such messages include the email for activating Travel ID, the email for editing your communication settings and other messages, such as information about adjustments to the Travel ID terms and conditions of use and status changes in your Travel ID profile.

Status changes may relate, for example, to the expiry of the validity of your travel documents uploaded via your Travel ID profile, your payment methods or your password.

If you have not logged into your Travel ID profile for three years, we will notify you by email and ask you to log in again. If we do not see any activity in your Travel ID profile within another six months, we will delete it (see paragraph “Deletion of your Travel ID profile”).

The legal basis for processing your data is the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

When you visit our websites, use our mobile apps and other touchpoints on the ground and on board, our aim is to make it easier and quicker for you to find and use the information that is relevant to you. You therefore have the option of registering there with your Travel ID and being contacted personally, as well as receiving information that matches your current flight booking or your Miles & More membership, for example.

You can also make use of the option to save your privacy settings (“cookie settings”) in your Travel ID profile. As soon as you use one of our websites or mobile apps and we are able to identify you, we will apply the cookie settings you have saved in your profile. Detailed information about the purposes of processing and processing activities can be found in the privacy policy or cookie policy on the respective LHG airline websites and on the Miles & More website.

If you do not wish to use the login service, you are, of course, free to use the website/touchpoints without logging in. In this case, the respective content will be displayed to you in a non-personalised manner.

The legal basis for processing your data is the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

We use the data you enter in your Travel ID profile to make visiting our websites easier for you through pre-populated forms. This can be data that you actively provided during registration or added at some later point or data that you provided, for example, as part of a previous booking in connection with your Travel ID and which we automatically take into account during a subsequent booking. We also use the data you provide during a booking to give you access to pre-populated forms, e.g. during online check-in or at a check-in machine. If you fill out other forms, such as during your participation in a lucky draw or when you send customer feedback using one of our electronic feedback forms on the website, the necessary contact details required are also pre-populated from your Travel ID profile.

The legal basis for processing your data is the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Flight bookings are automatically stored and shown in your Travel ID profile if you made them while logged in. If you subsequently want to add a flight booking to your Travel ID profile, we will check the booking for completeness and if needed, we will add further information that you have stored in your profile. No data will be overwritten without your consent.
Amongst other things, the overview of your flight bookings is limited to 10 years and includes the creation and display of flight statistics.

If you change your previous customer profile for one of the Lufthansa Group airlines to a Travel ID profile, your past flight bookings from your previous customer profile will also be displayed in your Travel ID profile.

The legal basis for processing your data is the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

We use the data stored in your Travel ID profile to provide you with personalised, targeted service at all our touchpoints on the ground and in the air, as well as to improve our complaint management. In doing so, we combine the data entered by you in your Travel ID profile during or after registration as well as all the data that we can link to you based on your Travel ID, e.g. completed purchases and use of services, as well as delays, flight cancellations and baggage irregularities. We also process data and information like your preferences, enquiries addressed to our Service Centre and data from other interactions with us, such as with the crew on board our aircraft or the staff in our lounges.

The legal basis for processing your data is the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If you have a Travel ID profile, we may use your data to contact you with regard to special personal occasions (e.g. your birthday, events related to your Miles & More membership) or your travel and service preferences, such as onboard our aircraft. In addition, if you make use of or have made use of products and services offered by Travel ID operators and we were repeatedly unable to provide you with the promised service, we may use this data (e.g. irregularities and customer concerns, number and severity of the incidents) and contact you regarding this.

The legal basis for processing your data is our justified interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

If you belong to one or more customer groups (e.g. students), you can have your membership of such customer groups verified and the confirmation stored in your Travel ID profile. If you book a trip later while logged in for example, we can use the customer group status stored in your Travel ID profile to check whether you are entitled to claim specific customer group benefits.

The legal basis for processing your data is provided by the consent granted by you in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the confirmation of your customer group at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of any processing performed on the basis of this consent until it was withdrawn. You can delete the confirmation(s) in your Travel ID profile under "Customer groups" to do so.

Your entitlement to special conditions and reductions will be deleted automatically once they are no longer valid.

You have option of storing travel documents such as your passport or visa in your Travel ID profile. We keep this data for you in a separate secure database. If you book a trip while logged in that requires the availability of specific travel documents, we will automatically add the data stored in your Travel ID profile to your flight booking. This process is not carried out if your flight booking already contains your travel documents details.

The legal basis for processing your data is provided by the consent granted by you in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of the data from the travel documents at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of any processing performed on the basis of this consent before such consent was withdrawn. To do this, you can delete your travel documents in your Travel ID profile under “Personal documents”.

Your travel documents will be deleted automatically once they are no longer valid.

We offer you the option of storing your preferred payment methods in your Travel ID profile. You can do this yourself at any time within your Travel ID profile. You also have the option during the booking process of deciding to store in your Travel ID the payment methods you entered for the booking for future purchases.

If you have stored a payment method in your Travel ID profile and make a booking with your Travel ID profile while logged in, we will pre-fill your preferred payment methods or offer you a selection. You can edit or delete your payment methods at any time.

The legal basis for processing your data is provided by the consent granted by you in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the storage of your payment methods at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any storage on the basis of this consent before such consent is withdrawn. You can delete your payment methods in your Travel ID profile under “Payment methods”.

If you have registered for a Travel ID, you can give ​Lufthansa Group airlines and Miles & More GmbH your consent to receive offers and information about products and services tailored to your personal interests. In order to be able to respond to your needs and preferences in a more personalised manner, we offer you the option of choosing the content you would like to be contacted about, the Travel ID operators via which you would prefer to be informed and the electronic communication media via which we may approach you.

Content may relate to suggestions for destinations, products and services as well as flights you have already booked. Offers might therefore include products, services or benefits to make your travel experience even more enjoyable. This includes, for example, services provided by Lufthansa Group airlines, such as premium meals, upgrades or the use of lounges as well as products and services provided by our partners, such as rental cars or insurance.

You may also receive offers and information from Miles & More about the Miles & More programme or other products and services including Miles & More partner companies.
For this purpose, we determine your main areas of interest based on the data stored in your Travel ID profile as well as with LHG airlines and Miles & More (e.g. demographic data, flight data such as travel routes, travel classes, services used, preferences, purchases). If you have given us permission to save your interactions with our mobile apps and websites (see the cookie policy of the respective website), we will also include this information in our investigations, e.g. so that we can make you the best offer when searching for specific destinations.
If you have given your consent on our mobile apps and websites for the purpose of specifically contacting you with product offers from LHG Airlines and/or Miles & More on third-party websites, we also use this information so that we can assign you to a relevant target group based on your main areas of interest.

The legal basis for processing your data is provided by the consent granted by you in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You can give this consent during the Travel ID registration process or later in your Travel ID profile. You can manage your consent and your preferences regarding promotional communication there at any time and withdraw your consent without affecting the lawfulness of any processing performed on the basis of this consent before such consent was withdrawn.

Depending on their flight activities, members of the Miles & More programme can achieve various types of frequent flyer status and thus enjoy exclusive benefits. If a member achieves HON Circle Member status, these benefits include exclusive services, among them proactive personal contact. Detailed information about the scope and type of data processed about you can be found in the respective LHG airline’s privacy policy. In addition, Travel ID operators are free to define customer groups and offer this service to their members, regardless of the status achieved in the Miles & More programme.

The legal basis for processing your data is provided by the consent granted by you in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You can provide this consent in your Travel ID profile. There, you can manage and withdraw your consent to this processing purpose at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing performed on the basis of this consent before such consent was withdrawn.

If you have a Travel ID profile and your Travel ID profile is not linked to a Miles & More member account, Lufthansa Group airlines will exchange your data with one another in order to offer you the services specified in the Travel ID Terms and conditions of use. The data Miles & More GmbH receives from you is required for creating and managing your Travel ID profile (e.g. contact details, date of birth and your voluntarily stored profile data), and Miles & More GmbH does not process this data for its own purposes unless you have consented to the personalisation of our offers and sending of customised promotional communication (see above).

If you have linked your Travel ID profile to your Miles & More member account, the Travel ID operators will exchange your data with one another in order to offer you the services specified in the Travel ID Terms and conditions of use. You decide for yourself whether to make the connection. If you make such a connection, data synchronisation is performed between your Travel ID profile and your Miles & More account. Specifically, the data stored by you in both accounts is carried over as follows:

All master data (such as name, date of birth, postal address, telephone) and preferences (such as preferred departure airport) is automatically transferred from your Miles & More account. The email address will be taken from your Travel ID profile.

The legal basis for the transfer of your data is the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If you have given Miles & More GmbH your consent to receive personalised advertising communication (see the section “Personalised advertising communication”, Miles & More GmbH will also process your flight data (such as your route, travel class, departure airport, destination airport) for this purpose.

Your customer group status is checked by our commissioned data processor SheerID, Inc. with its registered office in the USA. Data is transferred based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework under which SheerID, Inc. is certified with the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Furthermore, your personal data is processed in principle within the EU.

When you log into a website or other touchpoint of a Travel ID operator for the first time, you are prompted to enter your access details. In order to recognise you during your session, we set a “log-in” cookie. This cookie allows you to be automatically logged in when visiting websites of other Travel ID operators without having to enter your login credentials again.

You also have the option of actively selecting a “stay logged-in” feature on Travel ID operator websites on which you have already logged in so that, after finishing your session, you will not be required to log in again when you revisit the website.

For this purpose, we also use a cookie that automatically recognises you when you visit the website/touch point again.

When the “stay logged-in” feature expires, you will be asked to log in again. In addition, you will always be prompted to log in again if you are in the process of carrying out activities which require an enhanced level of security.

The legal basis for processing your data is provided by the consent granted by you in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

We process your data to the extent and as long as necessary for the processing purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

If the purpose for which your data was processed no longer applies, this data will be deleted, unless its retention is required for the following purposes:

  • compliance with statutory retention periods that may derive from obligations under commercial or tax law. These periods may be for up to ten years; and
  • enforcement, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In these cases, the processing of your data will be restricted (“blocked”) so that it can no longer be processed for other purposes.

If you no longer wish to use the Travel ID services, you may delete your Travel ID profile at any time. The personal data collected in connection with your use of Travel ID will then be deleted immediately, notwithstanding any conflicting statutory retention requirements and obligations.

You can delete your Travel ID profile, as well as any specific items of data you have provided in your Travel ID profile, yourself by logging into your Travel ID profile and deleting it there.

We will also delete your provisional Travel ID profile if you do not confirm your registration within the period specified in the confirmation email or if you receive a confirmation email with the activation link more than three times without using said link.

We also delete your profile after a specific period of inactivity (see the section “Notifications about your Travel ID profile”).

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless we can prove that there are compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing is used to enforce, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed by us for the purpose of direct marketing and you object to this processing, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time, for example via the contacts specified in the section “Who can you contact”.

We use EU standard contractual clauses if these transfers are made to a third country for which the EU Commission or the relevant authorities have not issued an adequacy decision. You can find information about EU standard contractual clauses on the European Union website.

In exceptional cases, the transfer to countries without adequate protection may also be permissible in other cases, e.g. based on consent, in connection with legal proceedings or if the transfer is necessary for the execution of a contract.

We review this Travel ID Privacy Notice regularly and will update it as required. We will inform you if there are significant changes to this Travel ID Privacy Notice (for example on our websites).
