Privacy Policy for The Aviation Place (and the Airport OGRE App)

Every website has to have a privacy policy nowadays but if you’re anything like me you’re probably all “what is this? I can’t be bothered to read this!” So, here’s what it says in a nutshell:

It says a whole load of legal stuff and stuff related to how websites and Apps collect personal information, what they do with it, what your rights are. 

At The Aviation Place we are not hoarding personal details and rifling through them from time to time when we feel like it… In fact, we rarely ever look at any of it because frankly we don’t know how to half the time, and definitely would not want to because we aren’t that sort of a person. 

Most of it is backend stuff or because that’s how internet works – like when you sign up, you put your email address in, or when you buy something, you put your payment details in… This is all done through the website building website (in this case, WordPress), and the payment system etc. 

If this “I don’t actually know how stuff works so don’t worry!” statement doesn’t put you at ease, then here is the full privacy policy filled with all the  legal, regulatory information which we stick to like clear ice to a cold soaked wing…

Introduction

Welcome to The Aviation Place (“we,” “us,” “our”) and if it’s the Airport OGRE app that brought you here, then also welcome. This Privacy Policy will do its best to explain how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our Airport OGRE app available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or if you use any of the courses and services or things available though the website www.theaviationplace.space.

By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. When you put your email in to gain access to a service;

Third-Party Links

Sometimes we put links to other websites and things on our website. Clicking on those is up to you and we do not necessarily control how they work, and are not responsible for their privacy statements. If you leave our website, think about taking a look at their website privacy policy too.

But, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We will always do what we can to protect your personal data, but like anyone, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
