Policy Page

Here at AeroParts Manufacturing & Repair, Inc. (“AeroParts”, also referred to herein as “we”, “us”, or “our”), protecting your privacy is our priority. For this reason, we collect and use personal information only as it might be needed for us to provide our users (collectively our “Users”) access to our website and its features (the “Site”) and to improve the user experience for you and other Users of the Site (collectively the “Services”).

Our Privacy Policy is intended to describe what data we collect, how we collect it, and how, when, and why we use your personal data. It also describes options we provide for you to access, update, or otherwise assume control of your personal data that we process.

By providing us with your personal information, you are consenting to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully. If you have any questions about our data collection or use practices or want to better understand your rights under this Privacy Policy, please contact us at Info@AeroParts.aero.

Compliance Statement

We at AeroParts strive to uphold the highest standards of data and privacy protections. Regardless of where our customers are, we strive adopt the principles and safeguards of both the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), as amended. Your individual rights may be determined by the laws and regulations of the state and country in which you reside.

While we strive to materially comply with all federal, state, and local laws, you are personally responsible for ensuring that your use of the Site and our Services complies with all laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside.

How we collect and use your personal information

We at AeroParts are defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a “data controller”. This means that we collect your personal information for our own use in order to provide you full access to the Site and to provide our Services to you or for your benefit. Most of the personal information we collect is provided directly by you when you request a quote through the Site, when you contact us through the Site, when you contact us through other means (not using the Site), or when you visit the site.

Information you might be expected to provide includes, without limitation:

  • Full Name
  • Email Address
  • Telephone Number
  • Physical Address
  • Credit card or other payment information

We collect your personal information for the purpose of providing the Services to you and our other Users. We also collect your personal information to allow us to tailor our current and future Services to better meet your needs and preferences, to better understand how you and others use the Site, and to refine the Site and create an ever-improving user experience. Finally, we may collect your personal information to provide targeted advertisements our products and services to you and to others. We do not market or sell your personal information to advertisers or to other third parties.

In order to tailor our services to your needs, we may use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from us and our affiliates.

Information Collected Automatically

As you use and access the Site, we (including any third parties providing web design, hosting, and related services to us) may use a variety of technologies to automatically collect information, including, without limitation:

  • Usage Information. The Site collects usage data such as the source address from which a page request originates (i.e., your IP address, domain name, type of computer), date and time of the page request, the referring web site (if any), and other parameters in the URL (e.g., search criteria). We use this data, for example, to better understand the Site usage in the aggregate so that we know what areas of our Site users prefer based on the number of visits to those areas. This information is stored in log files and is used for aggregated and statistical reporting. It is not attributed to you as an individual – meaning log files are not associated with any particular user, computer, or browser.
  • Location Information. We collect and process general information about the location of the device from which you are accessing the Site (e.g., your approximate geographic location as inferred from your IP address). This information may be used to, without limitation, verify your legal eligibility to use the Site or otherwise receive the Services.
  • Cookies and Browser Information. The Site uses cookies for a variety of purposes as further described below and in our Cookie Policy. Such purposes include, for example and without limitation, analyzing your browsing preferences and patterns while using the Site so that we may better target advertisements to you or to others.
  • Web Beacons. Web beacons (also known as “web bugs”) are small strings of code that provide a method of delivering a graphic image on a web page or in an e-mail message for the purpose of transferring data. We may use web beacons (or clear GIFs) on our Site or include them in the e-mail messages we send you for many purposes, including site traffic reporting, unique visitor counts, advertising e-mail auditing and reporting, and personalization. Information gathered through web beacons may be linked to your Personal Information.
  • IP Addresses and Log Files. An Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a number assigned to each computer on a network to identify your computer every time you log on to the Internet. We may keep track of IP addresses to troubleshoot technical concerns and to maintain the safety and security of our Site (e.g., by reviewing your IP address in combination with your Personal Information for credit fraud protection and risk reduction.) In addition, we may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the Site, track traffic patterns, and gather demographic information for aggregate use.

Use of Cookies

Our website may use “cookies” to help personalize and enhance your online experience. Cookies are small text files, generally made up of letters and numbers, that are placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other device when you visit a web page. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

When you visit a webpage and enter personal information (e.g., your name, email address, etc.), that information is packaged into a cookie which is then sent to your browser and saved for later use. On subsequent visits to the same website, your browser will send that cookie back to the web server that issued it, thus identifying you and the information you already provided to that website on previous visits. Cookies exist largely as a convenience feature, though websites and internet-based services may use cookies for purposes such as tracking customer use of their services and providing targeted advertising to customers based on the data contained in cookies.

You have the ability to consent to or deny the use of cookies, and you may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time through use of the cookie preferences portion of our website. You also have the ability to accept or decline cookies by activating the setting on your web browser that allows for you to refuse some or all cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but almost all web browsers allow for limiting cookies to select websites or declining cookies altogether. If you choose to decline cookies issued by our website or by all websites, you may not be able to fully experience any interactive features of our website, including the ability to “log in” and remain logged in as a registered user if such functionality exists now or in the future.

For more information, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

Third party websites

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites you choose to visit (including those sites whose links may appear on our own Site) so that you can understand how those other websites collect, use, and share your information. Here at AeroParts, we take great care to ensure that our data processing partners handle your personal information responsibly and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. However, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or other content of websites unrelated to or uncontrolled by AeroParts.

Disclosure of information to third parties

We may share your data with our trusted partners, considered by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to be “data processors”, to help facilitate payments, perform statistical analysis, send you email or marketing communications, or provide technical support.

We will disclose your personal information, without notice, if 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 processes to which AeroParts may become a party; (b) protect and defend AeroParts’ rights under the law; and (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our other users or the general public. For example, if a visitor to our website submits a comment or inquiry through our website’s built-in contact form expressing an intent to cause physical harm to themselves or others, we may proactively inform law enforcement to protect the public interest.

Information Security

We take great effort to secure your personal information and justify the trust you have placed in us. Our website and other data processes meet or exceed industry standards and include the use of at least 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection. The use of SSL technology encrypts data transmitted between you and our website and other web services. When we transmit your personal information to other websites or web-based services (e.g., payment processors), it is similarly encrypted.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides rights to citizens and residents of the European Union (EU) to control their data. We encourage you to learn more about GDPR and, if applicable, better understand your rights by visiting the GDPR Portal at https://www.eugdpr.org/.

You have the right to request that we stop using the personal data we collect from you, stop transmitting it to third-party data processors, and erase it from our records and databases. In most cases, we will simply grant this request. In some limited circumstances, such as when we are contractually required to provide Services to you and need the personal information we have collected to do so, we may delay granting your request until such time as it is feasible for us to stop using your personal data and erase it. We may also deny your request if your personal data is the subject of a valid law enforcement request or preservation and/or disclosure of your personal data is required by law or by order of a court of law.
  4. Right to Restrict Data Processing. You have the right, in any of the following circumstances, to request that all processing of your personal data be stopped:
    1. you wish to contest the accuracy of your personal data, in which case, we will suspend processing of your personal data for a period while we verify its accuracy;
    2. you believe the processing of your personal data is unlawful but you oppose the erasure of your personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
    3. you believe we no longer need your personal data for our business purposes, but the personal data must be preserved for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
    4. you have objected to our continued processing pursuant to Article 21 of the GDPR, in which case we will suspend processing of your personal data unless our legitimate need to continue processing it overrides your objection.
  5. Right to be Notified. You have the right to be notified of any use of your personal data in a clear and simple manner. This Privacy Policy serves as notification to you of how we intend to collect and use your personal data. If you feel your rights are being impeded, you may contact us at DPO@AeroParts.aero to have your concerns addressed. In the event of any rectification or erasure of your personal data, we will provide you written notice within seventy-two (72) hours. Furthermore, in the event of a data breach that includes your personal data, we will inform you and the relevant legal authorities within seventy-two (72) hours after we are made aware of the breach.
  6. Right to Data Portability. You have the right to request that your personal data be sent electronically to a third party of your choosing. The personal data must be provided by us in a commonly used, machine readable format if doing so is technically feasible.
  7. Right to Object. You have the right to object to any denial by us of your request that we stop processing your data per your Right to Restrict Data Processing.
  8. Right to Reject Automated Individual Decision-Making. You have the right to refuse the automated processing of your personal data to make decisions about you if such decisions significantly affect you or produce legal effects concerning you.
