Privacy policy

USAviationFlight.com is an independent directory of aviation operators. You can search and read every page without creating an account, signing in or giving us any personal information.

What we collect when you visit

• No cookies. The site does not set cookies, so there is no cookie banner.
• No tracking or advertising tools. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising networks, social media pixels or similar tracking services.
• Server logs. Like every website, our hosting provider (GoDaddy) automatically records basic technical information for each request: IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the referring page, and the date and time. These logs are used to keep the site running and secure, and to investigate misuse.
• Searches. What you type in a search box is sent to our server to find matching companies and show suggestions. Searches are not linked to your identity and are not stored apart from the standard server logs above.

When you email us

If you email us, for example to report a correction, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and your message. We use it only to reply and to correct the directory, and we do not sell or share it.

When you request a listing

Operators can request a listing using our listing form. We receive the company details you enter (name, website, phones, address, certificate, aircraft and service) and your own name, job title, email and phone. The form records the date and time, a scrambled (hashed) version of your network address and your browser type to help prevent spam. Requests are stored privately, outside the public website, and emailed to our team. We use them only to check and create the listing and to contact you about it. If the listing is approved, only the company details are published. Your personal name, email and phone are never shown on the site.

When you request a quote

If you use Request a quote on an operator's page, we receive your trip details (route, dates, passengers and notes) and your name, email and, if you give it, your phone number. The form also records the date and time, a scrambled (hashed) version of your network address and your browser type to help prevent spam. Requests are stored privately, outside the public website, and emailed to our team. We pass your request and contact details to the operator you chose so they can quote you, and we keep a record to count how many requests each operator receives. We do not sell your details or add you to a mailing list.

When an operator claims or updates a listing

Operators can claim their listing to add aircraft photos and base airports. We receive the person's name, job title, work email and, if given, phone, plus the photos and notes they send. We email a confirmation link to check the address, and we may phone the company on its published number to confirm the request. Photos are resized and hidden location data is removed. Only approved photos, airports and the Operator-verified badge are published; the person's own details are never shown.

Information about listed companies

Directory listings contain business information: company names, FAA certificate details, business phone numbers, websites and published office addresses. This comes from the FAA and from each company's own website. A company can ask us to correct or remove its listing by emailing corrections@usaviationhub.com.

Previously submitted accounts, listings and images

Earlier versions of USAviation.info offered a Marketplace and photo submissions. Those features are no longer available. Records submitted through them, such as seller account details, listings, uploaded photographs and image permissions, may still be kept for administrative, security, fraud-prevention, contractual and legal purposes. Submitting an image did not transfer its copyright to us. You can ask us to delete information you submitted, as described below.

Links to other websites

Listings link to operators' own websites and phone numbers. Those websites have their own privacy practices. If you contact an operator, your information goes directly to that operator, not to us.

Security

The site is served over an encrypted connection (https). We use reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect the information we hold, but no website or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children

The site is meant for a general aviation audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children under 13.

Your choices

You can ask us to correct or delete personal information you have given us. We may need to keep some records for legitimate business, security, contractual or legal reasons.

Changes to this policy

If our practices change, for example if we add analytics or advertising, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
