Draft template — not yet reviewed by an attorney
This is a general-purpose placeholder while Gettysburg Flight School's final policies are drafted by legal counsel. It is provided for informational purposes only and does not represent our finalized or legally binding terms. Contact us directly with any questions in the meantime.
Gettysburg Flight School ("we," "us," or "the school") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through our website and student portal, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
- Contact information you provide through our booking form, lead forms, or by emailing or calling us — name, phone number, email address, and anything you tell us about your training goals.
- Student portal account information if you create an account — name, contact details, role, flight training records, invoices, package and balance information, and squawk reports.
- Payment-related records such as invoice totals and balances. We do not directly process or store full payment card numbers on our servers.
- Usage data collected automatically through analytics tools, such as pages visited and general device/browser information.
2. How We Use Information
- To respond to inquiries and schedule discovery flights and lessons.
- To operate the student portal, including billing, scheduling, and tracking training progress.
- To communicate with you about your training, account, or school announcements.
- To improve our website and services.
- To comply with legal and recordkeeping obligations related to flight training.
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate the school and its systems — for example, our database and hosting provider, our email delivery provider, and analytics providers — and only as needed for them to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our students, staff, or the public.
4. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, including access controls on our student portal database. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to us.
5. Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies and third-party analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
6. Data Retention
We retain student training records for as long as reasonably necessary for training, safety, recordkeeping, and legal purposes. You may request deletion of non-essential contact information at any time by contacting us.
7. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13. Students under 18 who enroll in training do so with parent or guardian consent and involvement, as required by our enrollment and waiver documents.
8. Your Choices
You may contact us to review, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, subject to our legitimate need to retain certain training and safety records.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
