Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how The General Aviation Company (“General Aviation,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses and shares information about you when you visit generalaviation.com (the “Site”) or contact us.
It covers the Site only, not our digital tower systems or pilot app. The Site is intended for aviation professionals and is not directed to children under 13.
Information we collect
We collect only what we need to run the Site and respond to you. Some information you give us directly; the rest is collected automatically by our hosting and analytics providers. We use only the cookies needed to run the Site and understand how it is used—learn more in our Cookie Policy. You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time.
We collect four types of information:
- 1
Contact details
Your name, email address, organization and role, when you write to us.
- 2
Your message
Anything you include in an inquiry, such as your airport’s name or location.
- 3
Device data
Browser, operating system and IP address, used to estimate your general location.
- 4
Usage data
Pages you view, the site that referred you and the time of your visit.
How we use your information
We use your information to run the Site and to work with you. We keep it only as long as we need it, unless the law requires us to keep it longer, and protect it with industry-standard safeguards such as encrypted connections.
- To respond to your inquiries and send materials you request, such as our one-pager.
- To operate, secure and improve the Site.
- To comply with the law and protect our rights.
We never sell your personal information. And we never share it for targeted advertising.
Cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We use two kinds: essential cookies, which keep the Site secure and working, and analytics cookies, which show us which pages people read and how they find them.
We don’t use advertising cookies. The full list is in our Cookie Policy.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what information we hold about you and to control how we use it. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.
- Access — ask for a copy of the information we hold about you.
- Correction — fix anything that is wrong or out of date.
- Deletion — ask us to erase your information.
- Unsubscribe — stop our emails at any time using the link in each one.
To make a request, write to crew@generalaviation.com. We may ask you to confirm your identity before we act on it.
How long we keep it
We keep your messages for as long as we are working with you, and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you follow up. Analytics data is stored in aggregated form. When we no longer need information, we delete it or make it anonymous.
How we protect it
We use encrypted connections, limit access to the people who need it and choose providers that meet industry security standards. No system is completely secure, so we can’t promise information will never be exposed—but if a breach affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.
Where we process it
General Aviation is based in the United States. If you contact us from another country, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy from time to time—the date at the top shows the latest version. To access, correct or delete your information, or to ask a question, write to crew@generalaviation.com.
