Statement of Privacy:
Air-Child is committed to protecting your privacy. This Statement of Privacy applies
to the Air-Child website and governs data collection and usage. By using the Air-Child
website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Information Collected and Stored Automatically
We will not collect any personal information about you when you visit our website
unless you choose to provide that information to us, via email or our automated
systems, with the exception of webserver statistics. If you browse through our website
or download files, we will gather and store certain information about your visit
automatically through a server log. This information does not identify you personally.
Our webservers automatically collect and store the following information about your
visit:
- The IP address from which you access our website.
- The type of browser and operating system you use to view our site.
- The date and time you view our site.
- If you accessed the Air-Child website from another website, the address of
that refering website.
We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors and to monitor
and optimize the webserver hardware and software.
Air-Child will not disclose your personal information without notice, unless
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary
to:
(a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Air-Child
or the site;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of Air-Child VA; and
(c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users or the public
Personal Information you provide to us
If you choose to provide us with your personal information by sending an e-mail to one
of our staff members, or by filling out a form such as a join application with your
personal information and submitting it through our website, we use that information to
respond to your message and to help us provide you with information that you request.
We store information collected from our pilot applications for the purpose of
maintaining the website and provide pilots with the best service possible. We do not
collect personal information for any other purposes. Some information provided from
pilot applications (name, nearest airport and country of residence) will be
published in the Air-Child pilot roster.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information
or personally sensitive data through Air-Child public message boards, this information
may be collected and used by others. Air-Child staff members do not read any of your
private online communications (PM?s).
Links to Other Sites
Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site,
and you are no longer subject to our privacy policy. Air-Child is in no way
responsible for content provided on third-party websites which are linked on the
Air-Child website.
Use of Cookies
The Air-Child website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience.
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are
uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a webserver in the domain that
issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the webserver that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Air-Child pages, or register
with Air-Child site or services, a cookie helps to recall your specific information
on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal
information, such as your profile. When you return to the same Air-Child website,
the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use
the features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully
experience the interactive features of the Air-Child services or websites you visit.
Children's Privacy
air-child.com acts in concordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
Under this act, website operators are not permitted to require children under the
age of 13 to disclose personally identifiable information without permission by the
children's parents. Air-Child does collect personally identifiable information
through our join application, and therefore we are unable to allow children under
the age of 13 to become a member of Air-Child. Furthermore, to comply with regulations in other
countries, the minimum age to apply for a membership with Air-Child VA is 18 years.
Non-profit status of the website
As Air-Child is a non-commercial virtual airline, all sponsored money will be
transferred to UNICEF directly by the sponsors. Air-Child will not benefit in any
way of money collected for UNICEF through the sponsorship program.
Changes to this Statement
Air-Child will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect user
feedback. Air-Child encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be
informed of how Air-Child is protecting your information.
