The updated policy now explicitly states that Delta may use automated tools, machine learning, and AI-enabled technologies when processing your personal information. This includes processing related to flight bookings, payment, fraud prevention, marketing segmentation, and emergency assistance. The policy also clarifies that Delta collects biometric information such as fingerprints, facial recognition, voice, and iris data in connection with customer identification and security screening. These disclosures formalize practices that may have been previously implied but are now stated explicitly in the policy.
