Introduction
Protecting your private information is our priority.  This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to Crewchief Systems®, LLC, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter, variously “Crewchief”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), and our mobile services, platforms, applications, website, and any sites Crewchief may have now or in the future, including without limitation its mobile application and website to allow aircraft owners, pilots, fleet managers, and mechanics to maintain and manage records related to aircraft (collectively, the “Services”), and outlines our principles for collecting, using and protecting information that we maintain about any person whose personal data is being collected, held or processed by us including without limitation customers and/or site visitors (hereinafter the “Individual(s)” or “you”).   

By using the Services in any manner, you indicate to Crewchief that you have read and accept our Privacy Policy and consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy.  If you do not accept this Privacy Policy or do not meet or comply with the provisions set forth herein, then you may not use the Services. If required by applicable law, we will seek your express consent to process personal data (i) provided by you and/or (ii) collected during your use of the Services.  Any consent shall be entirely voluntary.  In the event you do not provide consent to use or process your personal data, then you may not access and/or use the Services.

Information we collect
When you use the Services, you may provide Crewchief with two main types of information: (1) personally identifiable information that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (2) general user information that does not contain personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate basis as you browse and use the Services. We collect information from you when you (a) use and/or access the Services, (b) register an account and/or subscribe to Crewchief, (c) open and/or respond to our emails, (d) contact Crewchief, and/or (e) visit any page online that displays our content, (f) make purchases through the Services, and/or (g) provide information to any of our customers, partners, and/or other users.

Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide

We may ask for certain personal information from you for the purpose of providing to you content and/or services that you request.  We collect personal information such as: (i) your personal and/or business contact information (including name, telephone number, email and address, and business website address); (ii) your financial information (such as checking account information, credit card number, expiration date, verification number, and billing address); (iii) username and password; (iv) demographic information (including age, birthdate and gender); (v) location information; (vi) pilot certificate numbers and specific information regarding your aircraft(s), such as make, model, serial number and equipment information; (vii) social security information (such as Federal EIN and Tax identification ID number); (viii) other various business information (such as number of years in business, state identification number, business license number, and lease terms, if applicable); (ix) insurance information (including name on policy, address on policy, policy number, insurance provider, and agent’s name, address, and phone number); and/or (x) preferences and behavior.  Once you register, you have opted in to receive electronic communications from Crewchief.  Crewchief may also provide you with the opportunity to participate in surveys through the Services.  If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information.  Participation in surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether to disclose such information.

Aggregate:  We may collect non-identifying and statistical information about the use of our Services, such as how many visitors visit a specific page, how long they stay on that page and which links, if any, they click on, system configuration information, and/or other interactions with the Services.  This information represents a generic overview of our users, including their collective habits. Information collected in the aggregate is not associated with you as an individual.

Third Party Services:  To support the services we provide to you, we may use services hosted by third parties.  These services may collect information sent by a browser as part of a web page request, including ‘Internet Protocol’ addresses, browser software, and/or clickstream patterns. If such third-party services collect information, they do so anonymously without identifying individual visitors.
