1.2    Information We Collect

We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with us.

1.2.1    Personal Information You Provide

When you contact us, book a discovery flight, or register for training, we collect information such as your full name, email address, phone number, mailing address, date of birth, and government issued identification. This information is necessary to verify your identity, process payments, and maintain required aviation training records.

1.2.2    Aviation Specific Information

As a flight training provider, we must collect certain information required by the FAA. This includes your medical certificate details, previous flight experience, logbook endorsements, and progress in training. We keep these records securely and share them only as required by law or with your written consent.

1.2.3   Payment Information

When you purchase training packages or pay for lessons, your payment details go through secure processing systems. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers. All payment data is handled by trusted third party processors who meet industry security standards.

1.2.4   Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain data. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, pages you visit, and how long you stay. We use cookies and similar tools to improve your experience and understand how visitors use our site.

1.2.5   Information from Third Parties

Sometimes we receive information from third parties such as FAA databases or aviation background check services. This helps us verify your eligibility for training and maintain compliance with federal regulations.

1.3    How We Use and Protect Your Information

We use the information we collect for specific purposes that benefit you and keep our operations running smoothly and legally.

1.3.1    To Provide Training Services

We use your information to schedule lessons, track your progress, maintain required FAA records, and communicate with you about your training. This includes sending reminders, updates, and important notices about your account or flight status.

1.3.2   To Process Payments

Your payment information helps us bill you for lessons, packages, and other services. We use secure systems to handle transactions and provide you with receipts and payment history.

1.3.3   To Communicate With You

We may contact you with information about your training, updates to our services, special offers, or aviation news that might interest you. You can opt out of marketing emails anytime while still receiving important operational messages.

1.3.4   To Improve Our Services

Website usage data helps us understand what content matters to you and how to make your experience better. We analyze trends and patterns to improve our training programs and customer service.

1.3.5   To Comply With Legal Requirements

Aviation regulations require us to maintain certain records and share information with the FAA or other government agencies when necessary. We take these obligations seriously and comply fully with all applicable laws.

1.3.6   Legal Basis for Processing

Under United States law and Florida state regulations, we process your information based on several legal grounds. When you sign up for training, we need your information to fulfill our contract with you. Some processing is necessary for us to comply with legal obligations like FAA record keeping. Where we have legitimate interests such as improving our services or preventing fraud, we balance those interests against your privacy rights. When required, we ask for your consent before processing certain types of information.

1.3.7   Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as necessary. FAA regulations require us to maintain training records for specific periods. After those periods end, we securely delete or anonymize your data. Website usage data is retained for shorter periods to analyze trends and improve our site.

1.4    When We Share Information and Your Privacy Rights

We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal information to anyone. There are limited situations where we must share information to operate legally and effectively.

1.4.1    With FAA and Government Agencies

As a certified flight training provider, we must share certain information with the Federal Aviation Administration. This includes student records, training progress, and certification details. We may also share information with other government agencies when required by law or legal process.

1.4.2   With Service Providers

We work with trusted third parties who help us operate. These include payment processors, scheduling software providers, email services, and website hosting companies. These providers only access information needed to perform their services and must protect it according to our standards.

1.4.3   With Insurance Companies

Aviation insurance requirements may necessitate sharing information with our insurers or your own insurance providers. This helps maintain coverage and process any claims that might arise.

1.4.4   With Your Consent

Sometimes you may ask us to share your information with others. For example, if you want us to send your training records to another flight school or a potential employer, we will do so with your written permission.

1.4.5   In Emergency Situations

If there is a safety emergency or threat to life, we may share information with emergency responders to protect you or others.

1.4.6   Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information.

1.4.7   Access and Portability

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this in a readable format within reasonable timeframes.

1.4.8   Correction

If your information is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. This is especially important for FAA records where accuracy matters for your pilot certification.

1.4.9   Deletion

In some circumstances, you may request deletion of your personal information. However, we cannot delete records that FAA regulations require us to maintain. Those records must be kept for legally mandated periods.

1.4.10  Opting Out

You can opt out of marketing communications anytime. Simply click unsubscribe in any marketing email or contact us directly. Important operational messages about your training will continue as needed.

1.5    How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information at the bottom of this policy. We will respond within timeframes required by law. We may need to verify your identity before processing requests to protect your information from unauthorized access.

1.6    Keep Your Information Safe and Policy Updates

We take data security seriously. Protecting your personal information is a responsibility we do not take lightly.

We use multiple layers of security to safeguard your data. Our website uses encryption to protect information transmitted between your browser and our servers. Physical records are stored in secure locations with limited access. Digital records are protected by firewalls, secure passwords, and access controls that limit who can view sensitive information. Our staff receives training on privacy and security practices. Regular security assessments help us identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

Despite our best efforts, no online transmission or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but we work hard to maintain industry standards and respond quickly to any potential issues.

1.7    Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us. We will take steps to delete that information promptly. For students under 18, we require parental consent before providing training services as required by law and industry standards.

1.8    Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. If we make significant changes that affect your rights or how we use your information, we will notify you through email or prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

1.9    Aviation Industry Compliance

This policy is designed to comply with all applicable Federal Aviation Administration requirements, Department of Transportation regulations, and Florida state privacy laws. We stay current with evolving standards and update our practices accordingly.
