Privacy Policy

On 25th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect giving individuals in the European Union (EU) enhanced rights over the use of their personal data. As a result, we (Aircraft IT) have updated our data privacy policy.

Under the GDPR, we can only hold and process your personal data on one or more of the grounds authorised by the GDPR. In this notice we advise you of the basis on which we will receive and process your personal data and of your rights under the GDPR.

If you register to attend one of our webinars or register to view an On-Demand webinar, we will ask you to enter certain personal information sufficient to enable us to process your webinar attendance and to communicate with you regarding this webinar. The basis for our receiving and processing this information will be that we’ve deemed you to have a legitimate interest in Aircraft IT, our offerings, and the offerings of the host software Vendor. The Webinars contain sensitive information and are not available in the public domain. Therefore we are required to share your information with the Webinar host Vendor in order for them to approve your participation in the Webinar session or view the On-Demand Webinar video. We will then no longer be responsible for that data, please refer to the Webinar host’s own individual privacy policies hosted within their websites. The Webinar host Vendor may therefore contact you after the Webinar with information on what was shown during the session.

Opt-In For Further Communications

If you agree to opt in to receive communications from us, we will take this as you are giving your consent to receiving such communications / Webinar invitations / eJournals / conference invitations and this consent will authorise us to process your data. We could also ask you for certain optional additional information for marketing purposes for services that we deem you to have a legitimate interest in.

You can withdraw your consent at any time in one of the ways described below or by clicking on the “unsubscribe” button on any emails we send you. Once you do this, any personal data of yours will be deleted permanently from our records.

Protection Of Your Personal Information

We will not use your personal data other than for the purposes described in this notice.
Except as described above, we will not sell your personal data or share it with any other third parties.
We will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for the stated purposes.
We will take all reasonable and necessary technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data.

Your Rights

  • The right at any time to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data.
  • The right to be informed of what personal data of yours we hold, how we obtained it and how long we intend to keep it.

  • The right to request the erasure of your personal data (also called the right to be forgotten).
