Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Tampa International Airport (Airport) collects, uses, and shares information through its website.
Website Analytics and User Experience
We use website analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve the performance, accessibility, content, and functionality of our digital services.
These services may collect information regarding pages viewed, links clicked, scrolling behavior, time spent on pages, navigation patterns, browser characteristics, device information, and general geographic location.
We may use tools such as session recordings, heat maps, and A/B testing to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our website. A/B testing means showing different versions of a webpage or feature to different visitors to see which version works better or is easier to use.
Information collected through these services may be aggregated or otherwise processed in a manner designed to reduce direct identification of individuals.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. We use cookies and similar technologies—including pixels, tags, local storage, and other online identifiers—to support website functionality, remember user preferences, improve security, analyze website performance, measure the effectiveness of communications and marketing initiatives, and enhance the overall user experience.
Disabling certain cookies may limit some site functionality.
Depending on applicable law, certain identifiers collected through cookies and similar technologies may be considered personal information.
Cookies used on our website may include:
- Essential Cookies
- Performance and Analytics Cookies
- Functional Cookies
- Advertising or Measurement Technologies, where applicable
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may limit some website functionality. To limit interest-based advertising, visit adssettings.google.com, your Meta ad preferences, or optout.aboutads.info.
Passwords
In certain instances, you will have the opportunity to receive or create a password to access or submit personal information. You should not divulge your password to anyone, and Tampa International Airport will never ask you for your password. When you are finished with those applications that are password-protected, you should exit the website page.
Advertising and Marketing Technologies
The Airport may use third-party advertising and marketing technologies to measure the effectiveness of digital communications and better understand how visitors engage with Airport services, parking programs, travel resources, community initiatives, and other public information.
These technologies may rely on cookies, pixels, tags, or similar tracking identifiers to support several advertising and analytics functions. Pixels are small snippets of code embedded in a webpage that monitor user activity, while tags are short code fragments that collect and transmit data about how visitors interact with a website. Together, these tools allow us to measure advertising performance, attribute website activity to marketing campaigns, manage advertising frequency, and evaluate the effectiveness of communications across digital platforms.
Information collected through these technologies is used to improve the relevance, effectiveness, and performance of Airport communications and marketing initiatives. The Airport does not provide personal information collected through these technologies.
Service Providers and Third-Party Services
The Airport may engage trusted third-party service providers to perform services on its behalf. These providers may support website hosting, cloud infrastructure, payment processing, customer communications, analytics, accessibility, customer surveys, digital marketing, cybersecurity, technical support, and other operational functions.
These service providers are authorized to access information only as necessary to perform services for the Airport and are contractually required to maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect the information they process.
The Airport may also disclose information when required by applicable law, legal process, court order, or governmental request, or when necessary to protect the safety, security, rights, or property of the Airport, its users, or the public.
Data Retention
The Airport retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable legal obligations, maintain required business and public records, resolve disputes, support operational needs, and enforce applicable agreements.
Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information collected, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable federal, state, and local legal requirements, including Florida public records retention requirements where applicable.
When personal information is no longer required, the Airport will take reasonable steps to securely dispose of or de-identify the information in accordance with applicable law and established records retention practices.

Information Security
The Airport maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or other misuse. Security measures are regularly reviewed and updated as appropriate to address evolving technologies and cybersecurity risks.
While the Airport takes reasonable precautions to safeguard information, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should exercise appropriate caution when transmitting sensitive information over the Internet.
Artificial Intelligence and Automated Technologies
The Airport may use artificial intelligence ("AI"), machine learning, or other automated technologies to support website operations, improve accessibility, enhance search functionality, analyze website performance, detect fraud or security threats, improve customer service, and optimize digital communications.

These technologies are intended to assist Airport personnel in providing efficient and effective services and are subject to appropriate oversight and applicable privacy and security safeguards. The Airport does not rely solely on automated decision-making for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
