Privacy Policy

What information do we collect?

We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you register on our site, subscribe to services, or interact with our community (e.g., posting, commenting, or submitting forms). We may also collect limited technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and usage data when you access our site.

When registering, you may be asked to provide personal details such as your name and email address. Verification emails may be used to confirm ownership of the email address provided.

We may retain server logs that include IP addresses and system information to maintain security, prevent fraud, and ensure compliance with applicable law.

How do we use your information?

We process your information for legitimate business purposes, including:

- To provide and personalize services.
- To improve our site and user experience.
- To provide customer support.
- To communicate important updates, respond to inquiries, and send notifications if you have opted in.
- To comply with legal obligations, including data protection, financial reporting, and consumer rights laws.

Aggregated Product Data

In addition to personal information, we may collect and analyze aggregated, non-personal data related to site activity. For example, we may record how often instruments from one avionics manufacturer are included in panel designs alongside instruments from another manufacturer. This data relates only to product usage trends and does not identify or track individual users.

We may sell, license, or publish this type of aggregated product data to third parties, such as avionics vendors, researchers, or industry partners. Your personal data is never included in these datasets.

How do we protect your information?

We use industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards (such as encryption, access controls, secure hosting, and regular security reviews) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Data retention policy

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law (such as financial recordkeeping or dispute resolution). When no longer needed, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to recognize returning visitors, improve site performance, and analyze traffic. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings. For EU/EEA, UK, California, and other applicable jurisdictions, we provide cookie consent tools in compliance with GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA.

Sharing your information

We do not sell or rent personal data. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website or deliver services, provided they maintain equivalent privacy protections. We may also disclose data if required by law, to comply with regulatory obligations, respond to lawful requests, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

International data transfers

If you are accessing our site from outside the United States, please note that your information may be processed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent protections.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your data.
- Restrict or object to our processing of your data.
- Request data portability.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where applicable.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data, where applicable under CCPA/CPRA.
- File a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email provided on our site. We will verify your identity before processing requests as required by law.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed at individuals under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law, including 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will delete it promptly.

Third-party links

Our site may include links to third-party websites. These sites maintain their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their policies or practices.

Accessibility

We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. If you encounter accessibility barriers, please contact us so we can make reasonable efforts to address them in line with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable laws.

Policy updates
