Welcome to Aviation Affair! Just like the aviation industry relies on clear
communication and trust, I believe in being completely transparent about how I
handle your information.
Because this is my personal project, I like to keep things simple. I don't run a
massive data-mining operation. However, running a website inevitably involves some
basic data collection just to keep the lights on and understand what content
people enjoy. Here is a plain-English explanation of what data is collected, why
it's collected, and how it's protected.
What information do I collect?
When you visit Aviation Affair, there are generally two types of information that
might be collected:
Information you give me directly
If you sign up for a newsletter, leave a comment, or send me an email at
info@aviationaffair.com, you are
choosing to share certain information with me. This usually just means your name
and your email address. I only use this to reply to your questions or send you the
updates you asked for.
Information collected automatically
Like almost every website on the internet, this site uses basic analytics tools
and cookies to help me understand how the site is performing. This means
collecting anonymous data like what kind of device you're using, which country
you're visiting from, and which articles you spend the most time reading. This
helps me figure out what topics are most helpful to my readers so I can write more
of them.
How do I use your information?
I only use your information for a few very specific reasons:
- To make sure the website works properly on your device.
- To reply to your emails or comments.
- To send you newsletters (but only if you specifically asked me to).
- To see which articles are popular, so I know what to write about next.
I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. Period.
What about cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your computer or mobile
device when you visit. Aviation Affair uses basic cookies to make the site
function properly and to gather the anonymous analytics mentioned above.
If you prefer not to use cookies, you can easily turn them off in your browser
settings. The site will still work, though a few minor features might behave a bit
differently.
Third-party services
To keep Aviation Affair running smoothly, I use a few trusted third-party services
(like a website host, an analytics provider, and an email newsletter service).
These services might collect some basic data to do their jobs. I only choose
reputable services that take data protection seriously, but keep in mind that they
have their own privacy policies.
Your rights
It's your data, and you are in control. If you ever want to know what information I
have about you, or if you'd like me to delete it, just ask. If you've subscribed to
a newsletter and decide you don't want it anymore, there will always be a clear
"unsubscribe" link at the bottom of every email.
Changes to this policy
As Aviation Affair grows, or as internet privacy rules change, I might need to
update this page. If I make any major changes, I will update the "Last updated"
date at the top of this page.
