Worried about your privacy?
Oscar's here to help with your travel! He might ask about your Air New Zealand account, bookings, and other travel-related things in order to assist. Oscar's software records whatever you tell him. But he de-identifies as much of your conversation as possible, and will only ask for personal information if it's necessary to help with your questions. If you're signed into our website when you chat with him, Oscar will use information from your Air New Zealand account to help answer your questions.
We also have a special team here at Air New Zealand who look after Oscar and we take privacy very seriously. For information about Air New Zealand's privacy practices, including how you can view, correct or delete your personal information please see our Privacy Statement.
