Information collected

As with many other websites, log files are stored on the web server saving details such as the visitor's IP address, browser type, referring page and time of visit. Cookies may be used to remember visitor preferences when interacting with the website. Where registration is required, the visitor's email and a username will be stored on the server.

Use of your information

The information we collect is used solely by us to enhance the visitor's experience when using the website to display personalized content.

Protecting your information

We understand that you do not want your personal information compromised in any way. With that in mind, we have implemented a variety of security measures to protect your information on our servers and protect your information from unauthorized access via the website.

Contact from us

E-mails may be sent to inform you of news relating to this site, but only if you have explicitly requested us to contact you. Unlike most sites, we don't opt you in by default and make you unsubscribe later when you find out. The only exception to this policy is in the unlikely event of a site outage or other similar event, we may choose to contact you with more details surrounding the event.

Cookies

Cookies are small digital signature files that are stored by your web browser that allow your preferences to be recorded when visiting the website. Also they may be used to track your return visits to the website and if so, are only used so as to provide users with a better experience throughout the site.

Geolocation

Geolocation is the identification of the real-world geographic location of an Internet-connected computer, mobile device or other similar hardware. If we retrieve geolocation information from you, which can typically only be done once you have given permission via your device's settings, we only use the geolocation information at the time it is retrieved in order to provide users with geographic specific content. Once the information is used and the web page has been displayed, we do not keep a record of the specific geolocation used to render the webpage.

Visitor options

You may be able to block cookies via your browser settings but this may prevent you from access to certain features of the website.
If you have subscribed to one or more notification email services, you may unsubscribe by following the instructions which are included in e-mail that you receive.

Disclosure of information to outside parties

Your information, including e-mail addresses, will not be sold, rented, leased or otherwise transferred to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business or servicing you, so long as those third parties have agreed to keep your information confidential and to not use your information in any manner other than those agreed to by us. We may also release your information when we believe release is an appropriate action to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect us or others' rights, property or safety. When information is disclosed to a trusted third party, such as for statistics or marketing analysis, the information will be disclosed in such a manner that users will not be personally identifiable.

Third party links

World Flight Planner includes a variety of data from third-party sources. In most cases this data is available within our site. However, in the cases where users must leave our site, any third party site will have separate and independent privacy policies that may or may not be similar to ours. As such, we are not responsible for content found on any third-party site that may be linked from this site. Nevertheless, we seek to ensure the protection of all our users and welcome any feedback on third-party sites linked from this site.

Online Privacy Policy Only

This online privacy policy only applies to information collected through our website and not to any information collected offline.

Changes to our privacy policy

The most current version of our privacy policy will always be located on this Privacy Policy page. Archived versions of the privacy policy will also be available via this page. As a quick reference for users, privacy policy changes are assigned a version number. Number changes before the decimal (1.5 to 2.0, for example) indicate a major change in the privacy policy whereas number changes after the decimal (1.5 to 1.6, for example) indicate a minor change limited to changes grammatical in nature.
