Please read this terms and conditions stated below, which outline a lot of legal goodies, but the bottom line is it’s our aim to always take care of both of us, as a customer, or as a service provider. We’ve included many of these terms to legally protect ourselves, but if you have an issue, always feel free to email us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to resolve it in a fair and timely way .
This page is used to inform visitors regarding the policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if you use any of our Services.
If you choose to use our Services, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that is collected is used for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which are accessible at Aviatter unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collection and Use
We require certain information to provide our services to you. For example, you must have an account in order to upload or share content on Aviatter. When you choose to share the information below with us, we collect and use it to operate our services.
Basic Account Information
If you do choose to create an account, you must provide us with some personal data so that we can provide our services to you. On Aviatter this includes a display name, a password, and an email address or phone number. Your display name is always public, but you can use either your real name or a pseudonym. If you choose to create a professional account, you must also provide us with your professional category, and may provide us with additional information, including street address, contact email address, and contact phone number, all of which will always be public. You can also create and manage multiple Aviatter accounts, for example to express different parts of your identity.
Public Information
Most activity on Aviatter is public, including your profile information, your display language, when you created your account, and your Posts and certain information about your Posts like the date, time, and application and version of Aviatter you Posted from. You also may choose to publish your location in your Posts or your Aviatter profile. When you share audio or visual content on our service we may analyze that data to operate our services. The people you follow and who follow you, and Posts you Like are also public. If you like, reply, or otherwise publicly engage with an ad on our services, that advertiser might thereby learn information about you associated with the ad with which you engaged such as characteristics of the audience the ad was intended to reach. Your engagement with posts, including viewing, listening, commenting, speaking, reacting to, or otherwise participating in them, on Aviatter, is public along with when you took those actions. Information posted about you by other people who use our services may also be public. You are responsible for your Posts and other information you provide through our services, and you should think carefully about what you make public, especially if it is sensitive information. If you update your public information on Aviatter, such as by deleting a Post or deactivating your account, we will reflect your updated content on Aviatter for iOS, and Aviatter for Android. By publicly posting content, you are directing us to disclose that information as broadly as possible, including through our APIs, and directing those accessing the information through our APIs to do the same. To facilitate the fast global dissemination of Posts to people around the world, we use technology like application programming interfaces (APIs) and embeds to make that information available to websites, apps, and others for their use - for example, displaying Sightings on a news website or analyzing what people say on Aviatter. We have standard terms that govern how this data can be used, and a compliance program to enforce these terms. But these individuals and companies are not affiliated with Aviatter, and their offerings may not reflect updates you make on Aviatter.
Contact Information
We use your contact information, such as your email address or phone number, to authenticate your account and keep it - and our services - secure, and to help prevent spam, fraud, and abuse. We also use contact information to enable certain account features (for example, for login verification), to send you information about our services, and to personalize our services, including ads. If you provide us with your phone number, you agree to receive text messages from Aviatter to that number as your country’s laws allow. Aviatter also uses your contact information to market to you as your country’s laws allow, and to help others find your account, including through third party services and client applications. You can use your settings for email and mobile notifications to control notifications you receive from Aviatter.
Additional Information
We receive certain information when you use our services or other websites or mobile applications that include our content, and from third parties including advertisers. Like the information you share with us, we use the data below to operate our services.
Location Information
We require information about your signup and current location, which we get from signals such as your IP address or device settings, to securely and reliably set up and maintain your account and to provide our services to you. Subject to your settings, we may collect, use, and store additional information about your location - such as your current precise position or places where you’ve previously used Aviatter - to operate or personalize our services including with more relevant content like local trends, stories, ads, and suggestions for people to follow.
Links
In order to operate our services, we keep track of how you interact with links across our services. This includes links in emails we send you and links in posts that appear on other websites or mobile applications. If you click on an external link or ad on our services, that advertiser or website operator might figure out that you came from Aviatter, along with other information associated with the ad you clicked such as characteristics of the audience it was intended to reach. They may also collect other personal data from you, such as cookie identifiers or your IP address.
Log Data
We receive information when you view content on or otherwise interact with our services, which we refer to as “Log Data,”. For example, when you sign into our services, interact with our email notifications, use your account to authenticate to a third-party service, or visit a third-party service that includes Aviatter content, we may receive information about you. This Log Data includes information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, device information (including device and application IDs), search terms (including those not submitted as queries), and cookie information. We also receive Log Data when you click on, view, or interact with links on our services, including when you install another application through Aviatter. We use Log Data to operate our services and ensure their secure, reliable, and robust performance. For example, we use Log Data to protect the security of accounts and to determine what content is popular on our services. We also use this data to improve the content we show you, including ads and to improve the effectiveness of our own marketing.
We use information you provide to us and data we receive, including Log Data and data from third parties, to make inferences like what topics you may be interested in, how old you are, and what languages you speak. This helps us better promote and design our services for you and personalize the content we show you, including ads.
Cookies
Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device’s internal memory. Aviatter does not use these “cookies” explicitly. However, the app may use third-party code and libraries that use “cookies” to collect information and improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.
Service Providers
We engage service providers to perform functions and provide services for us in the United States and other countries. For example, we use a variety of third-party services to help operate our services, such as hosting our services, and to help us understand the use of our services, such as Google Analytics. We may share your private personal data with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and on the condition that the third parties use your private personal data only on our behalf and pursuant to our instructions (service providers may use other non-personal data for their own benefit).
Law, Harm, and the Public Interest
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy or controls we may otherwise offer to you, we may preserve, use, share, or disclose your personal data or other safety data if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the safety of any person; to protect the safety or integrity of our platform, including to help prevent spam, abuse, or malicious actors on our services, or to explain why we have removed content or accounts from our services; to address fraud, security, or technical issues; or to protect our rights or property or the rights or property of those who use our services. However, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party’s, including a government’s, request to disclose your personal data.
Security
We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take the necessary actions.
