2. Using temporary internet files such as cookies, transparent gifs, and other similar tools (Identification Tools)

To purchase services from S & T Aircraft, Users must provide detailed information including contact information to S & T Aircraft, including names, email addresses, physical addresses, and phone numbers. Users are required to provide this information to S & T Aircraft in order to purchase S & T Aircraft services. During the purchase process, Users may provide optional information to S & T Aircraft. If that information is provided, it is covered by this Privacy Policy; however, providing it is voluntary. This information is a subset of Identification Tools, and is referred to individually as “Registration Information.”

b. Identification Tools

S & T Aircraft may use automated Identification Tools like cookies and Google Analytics. Each of these Identification Tools work differently, however, they all collect information related to the website you came to S & T Aircraft from, a User’s operating system, browser type, where Users go on S & T Aircraft’s website, length of time on S & T Aircraft’s website, and where a User goes after visiting S & T Aircraft’s website. In addition, Identification Tools may keep Users logged into S & T Aircraft’s system. From time-to-time, S & T Aircraft may use Identification Tools that will be used to serve advertising and other information to Users after they visit S & T Aircraft’s website. Because the technologies underlying Identification Tools differ, Users may, or may not, be able to choose not to provide information to them.

When Users contact S & T Aircraft for support for their services they may be asked to match certain information that is in their Registration Information. This information will be used to identify them personally.

d. FAQ and Forum Information

S & T Aircraft offers Users the ability to exchange information about its services, and their experiences with these services (Forum Information). Forum Information is publicly accessible and may be indexed by search engines and other tools. Users are not required to disclose information that will identify them personally in order to participate in these tools. All Forum Information may be accessed and used by third parties for purposes known and unknown to S & T Aircraft.

S & T Aircraft takes the security of its network very seriously. To ensure network security, data integrity and privacy, S & T Aircraft uses programs that monitor network traffic and access to its network. These programs collect information regarding User’s use of S & T Aircraft’s services, website and network (Traffic Information).

a. Generally

1. S & T Aircraft is required to comply with relevant laws, regulations and judicial orders. Information covered by this Privacy Policy may be disclosed outside S & T Aircraft if S & T Aircraft determines, in its sole discretion, that such a disclosure is necessary or required. S & T Aircraft may also disclose this information if, in its sole discretion, such disclosure is necessary or required to protect its interests or the interests of its customers.
2. S & T Aircraft may disclose information covered by this Privacy Policy in connection with the sale of its business.
3. S & T Aircraft may aggregate information covered by this Privacy Policy and disclose it outside its business. This information will not identify Users individually.

5. S & T Aircraft may use information covered by this Privacy Policy to inform you of new products and services. In informing you of new products and services, S & T Aircraft may include third party products and services. While S & T Aircraft may use information that identifies you individually to market these third party products and services, that information is not disclosed to the third parties. In this use of User information, third parties will only receive aggregate information. However, should a User respond to a marketing announcement, third parties will become aware of the User individually. Users may opt-out of receiving this information by clicking “unsubscribe” in any marketing material, or unsubscribe from your AvSys profile. Only the email address from that communication will be removed from marketing lists.

b. Specific Information

1. Web Server Logs (described in paragraph 5). Information collected from Web Server Logs is not disclosed beyond S & T Aircraft except as set out in paragraph 5 in this Privacy Policy.
2. Registration Information (described in paragraph 6). S & T Aircraft will use Registration Information throughout its business and will pass Registration Information on to third parties for processing and use as necessary to provide S & T Aircraft’s services to Users. S & T Aircraft requires these third parties to limit their use of Registration Information to those uses that facilitate providing S & T Aircraft’s services to Users.
3. Identification Tools (described in paragraph 6). Information collected using Identification Tools, other than Registration Information, may identify Users individually. This information will be used to provide S & T Aircraft’s marketing information to Users. Users may enter or delete email addresses in the “Account” interface to control marketing messages. Third parties may use this information in the aggregate; however, they are contractually prohibited from using this information to identify Users individually. S & T Aircraft uses cookies to save User’s preferences and login information, and provide personalized functionality.
4. Support Information (described in paragraph 6). Support Information may identify Users individually. In addition to providing support to Users, S & T Aircraft may disclose Support Information to third party vendors in order to provide the support requested by the User. These third parties may disclose and use Support Information to improve their business processes and for marketing. Unless necessary to provide support to Users, S & T Aircraft will not disclose Support Information containing information that identifies Users individually to these third parties. During a support request, Users may request that S & T Aircraft not disclose Support Information to third parties. This request will prevent S & T Aircraft from providing support to Users.
5. Traffic Information (described in paragraph 7). Traffic Information may identify Users individually. S & T Aircraft will only use Traffic Information to ensure the integrity of its network, and for no other purpose. Traffic Information may be disclosed by S & T Aircraft to comply with its legal obligations and to law enforcement upon when obligated to do so. We also may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

S & T Aircraft uses technical security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, alternation or unauthorized disclosure of information under our control. S & T Aircraft uses security measures including and not limited to: firewalls, nonpublic facing systems, complex passwords, anti-virus, and mitigation and detection software. When S & T Aircraft asks Users to provide financial information (such as a credit card number) that data is protected using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Electronic communication, such as email that Users may send S & T Aircraft may not be secure unless S & T Aircraft advises a User in advance that security measures will be in place prior to transmitting the information. Users should not send confidential information such as financial information, social security numbers or passwords to S & T Aircraft through unsecured electronic communication.

S & T Aircraft acknowledges the individual’s right to access their personal data for the purpose of review, correction, updating and deletion.

Information covered by this Privacy Policy may be deleted upon a User’s request. However, we reserve the right to retain information necessary to protect our interests, and are required to retain certain information under federal law. Unless specifically set out herein, information covered by this Privacy Policy will be retained by S & T Aircraft following termination of a User’s Agreement.

We will provide an individual opt-out or opt-in choice before we share their data with third parties other than our agents, or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized.

To limit the use and disclosure of your personal information, please submit a written request to legal@st.aero.

Users may transfer their accounts to a third party by submitting a request to our accounting team. S & T Aircraft will respond with a transfer form.
