PRIVACY POLICY

 

Last Updated: August 14, 2026
Effective Date: August 14, 2025

 

BizJet Journal ("BizJet Journal," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information that we collect, receive, use, store, disclose, or otherwise process in connection with our website, publications, newsletters, editorial activities, advertising services, research, and related digital services.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you access or interact with https://bizjetjournal.com/, any related subdomains, newsletters, forms, digital publications, research products, advertising services, or other services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Services").

BizJet Journal is a digital media and intelligence publication focused on the global business aviation industry. Because our activities include journalism, publishing, research, market analysis, interviews, industry reporting, and other editorial activities, some personal information may also be processed for journalistic, editorial, literary, research, or public-interest purposes.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Cookie Policy, Terms of Use, and any additional privacy notices that we may provide when collecting personal information for a specific purpose.

 

1. WHO WE ARE

 

BizJet Journal provides business aviation news, analysis, educational content, aircraft information, market intelligence, interviews, industry commentary, airport and FBO information, research, newsletters, and related media services.

For purposes of applicable data protection law, the controller of personal information covered by this Privacy Policy is:

Legal Entity: BizJet Journal
Trading Name: BizJet Journal
Website: https://bizjetjournal.com/
Registered Address:
Country: US
Privacy Email: privacy@bizjetjournal.com 

Where applicable law uses other terminology, such as "business," "covered entity," or "data fiduciary," references in this Privacy Policy to "controller" should be interpreted accordingly.

 

2. SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

 

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed through or in connection with:

the BizJet Journal website;

• mobile or responsive versions of our website;
• BizJet Journal newsletters and email publications;
• contact and inquiry forms;
• advertising and sponsorship inquiries;
• media partnership inquiries;
• contributor and writer communications;
• article submissions;
• interview requests;
• surveys and research activities;
• event registrations where applicable;
• downloadable reports, guides, white papers, or research material;
• subscriber communications;
• social media interactions where BizJet Journal controls the relevant processing;
• communications with aircraft operators, manufacturers, brokers, FBOs, airports, service providers, executives, and other aviation-industry participants;
• editorial research and news gathering;
• business-to-business communications;
• analytics and website-performance technologies; and
• any additional service that links to this Privacy Policy.

 

This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites, services, applications, or platforms operated independently by third parties.

 

3. WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

 

"Personal information," "personal data," and similar terms generally refer to information relating to an identified or reasonably identifiable natural person.

Depending on applicable law, personal information may include:

• browser information;
• online identifiers;
• location information;
• communications;
• newsletter preferences;
• website usage information;
• advertising identifiers; and
• other information that can reasonably be linked to an individual.

 

Information that has been properly anonymized so that an individual can no longer reasonably be identified generally does not constitute personal information.

7. INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

 

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our servers and by technologies used to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Services.

This information may include:

• approximate geographic location derived from an IP address;

• browser version;
• device type;
• operating system;
• language settings;
• screen resolution;

We may use this information for website administration, analytics, troubleshooting, fraud prevention, cybersecurity, audience measurement, content optimization, and improving the user experience.

 

COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

 

8. COOKIES

 

BizJet Journal may use cookies and similar technologies such as:

• pixels;
• tags;
• local storage;
• scripts;
• software development tools;
• tracking technologies; and
• similar identifiers.

 

Cookies are small pieces of information that websites may store or access on a user's device.

Different categories of cookies may include:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions, security, consent management, fraud prevention, load balancing, or other features necessary for the operation of the website.

Analytics Cookies

These technologies help us understand how visitors use BizJet Journal, including which pages are popular, how visitors arrive at the website, and how users navigate through our content.

Functionality Cookies

These technologies may remember preferences and provide enhanced website functionality.

Advertising and Measurement Technologies

Where enabled, these technologies may help us measure advertising performance, understand campaign effectiveness, limit repeated advertisements, or provide advertising based on contextual or other permissible information.

Where applicable law requires consent, we seek the necessary consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Additional information about individual technologies currently used by BizJet Journal should be provided in our Cookie Policy and/or cookie preference management tool.

 

9. COOKIE PREFERENCES

 

Where a cookie preference tool is made available, you may use it to accept, reject, or modify your preferences regarding non-essential cookies.

Disabling certain technologies may affect some functionality, but refusing optional cookies should not prevent access to the basic editorial content of the website unless a particular feature genuinely requires that technology.

Browser settings may also allow you to block or delete cookies.

Your cookie preferences may need to be renewed periodically or when we materially change the technologies used on the website.

 

EDITORIAL AND JOURNALISTIC PROCESSING

 

10. JOURNALISM, EDITORIAL RESEARCH, AND PUBLIC-INTEREST REPORTING

 

BizJet Journal is an independent publication. As part of our journalistic and editorial activities, we may collect, receive, verify, analyze, retain, and publish information concerning individuals where relevant to legitimate reporting, research, commentary, analysis, historical documentation, or other editorial purposes.

 

Such individuals may include:

• aviation executives;
• company founders;
• pilots;
• aviation professionals;
• aircraft owners where legitimately reportable;
• brokers;
• industry analysts;
• government officials;
• regulators;
• conference speakers;
• executives of aircraft manufacturers;
• airport and FBO personnel;
• public figures;
• company representatives;
• interview subjects;
• authors;
• researchers;
• industry experts; and
• persons who are legitimately relevant to a matter of aviation-industry interest.

 

Editorial information may be obtained from sources including:

• interviews;
• direct communications;
• public statements;
• press releases;
• corporate websites;
• government records;
• regulatory filings;
• public databases;
• official reports;
• court records where lawfully available;
• conference materials;
• published research;
• social media posts made publicly available;
• industry publications;
• photographs;
• publicly available professional profiles;
• sources providing information to journalists; and
• other lawful research methods.

 

Our processing of such information is separate from ordinary website marketing and analytics activities.

 

11. JOURNALISTIC PURPOSE AND PRIVACY RIGHTS

 

Privacy rights and freedom of expression can both be important interests in journalistic activities.

Where applicable law provides exemptions, limitations, privileges, or special rules for processing carried out for journalism, freedom of expression, publication, research, literary purposes, or matters of public interest, BizJet Journal may rely on those provisions where legally appropriate.

This does not mean that all editorial processing is automatically exempt from data protection law.

 

When appropriate, we consider factors such as:

• the public interest;
• relevance of the information;
• accuracy;
• proportionality;
• the privacy interests of affected individuals;
• the individual's public or professional role;
• whether information is already legitimately public;
• potential harm from publication;
• journalistic freedom;
• freedom of expression;
• source protection;
• editorial independence; and
• applicable law.

 

Certain privacy rights described elsewhere in this Policy may therefore be restricted when their exercise would conflict with legally protected journalistic activities or freedom of expression.

 

12. EDITORIAL ACCURACY AND CORRECTION REQUESTS

 

BizJet Journal seeks to maintain reasonable editorial standards regarding factual accuracy.

If you believe an article contains materially inaccurate personal information concerning you, you may contact:

editorial@bizjetjournal.com or privacy@bizjetjournal.com 

 

Please include:

• your full name;

• the relevant article URL;
• the specific statement you believe is inaccurate;
• the correction you are requesting; and
• supporting information where appropriate.

 

Submission of a correction, removal, deletion, or modification request does not guarantee that content will be amended or removed.

We may assess such requests according to applicable law, editorial standards, public-interest considerations, journalistic obligations, historical accuracy, freedom of expression, and the integrity of the publication record.

 

13. JOURNALISTIC SOURCES

 

BizJet Journal recognizes the importance of confidential journalistic sources.

Where legally permissible, we may take measures designed to protect the identity, communications, documents, or information of confidential sources.

A request made under privacy or data protection law may therefore be limited where disclosure would unlawfully or improperly reveal a confidential source or interfere with legitimate journalistic activity.

 

14. PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION

 

Information being publicly available does not necessarily mean that it can be used without restriction.

Where we obtain personal information from public sources, we seek to process it in a manner consistent with legitimate editorial purposes, applicable law, fairness, proportionality, and reasonable privacy expectations.

 

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

 

15. PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE PROCESS PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

Depending on how you interact with BizJet Journal, we may process personal information to:

• operate and maintain the website;

• communicate with sources;
• maintain editorial archives;
• publish corrections;
• provide newsletters;
• manage subscriptions;
• respond to inquiries;
• administer advertising relationships;
• manage sponsorships;
• provide media partnerships;

• prevent misuse of our Services; and
• carry out other purposes disclosed at the time information is collected.

 

LAWFUL BASES

 

16. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

 

Where applicable data protection law requires us to identify a lawful basis, the basis we rely upon will depend on the particular processing activity.

Consent

We may rely on your consent for activities such as:

• certain newsletter subscriptions;
• non-essential cookies;
• certain marketing communications;
• optional surveys; or
• other processing where consent is legally required.

 

You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not generally affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Contract

We may process personal information when necessary to:

• provide services you requested;
• administer a commercial relationship;
• fulfill advertising or sponsorship agreements;
• process contributor arrangements; or
• take requested steps before entering into a contract.

 

Legitimate Interests

We may process information where necessary for legitimate interests pursued by BizJet Journal or another party, provided those interests are not overridden by applicable privacy rights.

Such interests may include:

• operating an independent publication;
• maintaining our website;
• protecting our systems;
• developing our publication;
• communicating with professional contacts;
• understanding our readership;
• improving our content;
• preventing fraud;
• protecting legal rights;
• maintaining editorial archives; and
• conducting reasonable business-to-business activities.

 

Legal Obligations

We may process information where required to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, law-enforcement, or judicial obligations.

Public Interest and Journalistic Purposes

Where recognized by applicable law, processing may be undertaken for journalistic, literary, research, historical, statistical, freedom-of-expression, or public-interest purposes.

Establishing or Defending Legal Claims

We may process information where necessary to establish, exercise, investigate, or defend legal rights or claims.

 

INFORMATION SHARING

 

17. WHEN WE MAY DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

BizJet Journal does not disclose personal information indiscriminately.

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients where necessary and lawful.

Hosting and Infrastructure Providers

Companies that provide:

• website hosting;
• cloud hosting;
• content delivery networks;
• database infrastructure;
• security;
• domain services; or
• website infrastructure.

 

Email and Newsletter Providers

Companies that help us manage email distribution, newsletters, subscriber lists, and related communications.

Analytics Providers

Providers that help us understand website traffic, performance, visitor behavior, and content engagement.

Technology Providers

Providers that supply website software, plugins, search functionality, forms, content management systems, backup systems, security systems, and other technical services.

Advertising and Measurement Providers

Where applicable, advertising, sponsorship, campaign measurement, or related technology providers may receive limited information necessary to provide their services.

Professional Advisers

We may disclose information to:

• lawyers;
• accountants;
• auditors;
• insurers;
• consultants; and
• other professional advisers,

 

where reasonably necessary.

Contractors and Contributors

We may provide limited personal information to contractors, journalists, editors, researchers, designers, developers, or other service providers where necessary for their work.

Authorities

We may disclose information where required or permitted by law, including to courts, regulators, government agencies, law enforcement, or other competent authorities.

Corporate Transactions

Information may be disclosed in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, asset sale, reorganization, or similar business transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.

 

18. ADVERTISERS AND SPONSORS

 

BizJet Journal may work with advertisers, sponsors, aviation businesses, and commercial partners.

Advertising relationships do not give advertisers unrestricted access to personal information about our readers or newsletter subscribers.

We may provide advertisers with aggregated or statistical information such as:

• number of article views;
• newsletter performance;
• campaign impressions;
• general audience characteristics;
• engagement metrics; or
• other non-identifying campaign information.

 

Where an advertiser or technology provider independently collects personal information through an advertisement, landing page, embedded service, or third-party website, that organization may act as a separate controller and its privacy policy will govern its activities.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of relevant third parties.

 

19. SALE OR SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

BizJet Journal does not sell personal information in exchange for money as part of its ordinary publishing activities.

However, privacy laws in certain jurisdictions define terms such as "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly.

If BizJet Journal uses advertising technologies that constitute a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, we will provide legally required notices and opt-out mechanisms where required.

We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of children in violation of applicable law.

 

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

 

20. EXTERNAL WEBSITES

 

BizJet Journal articles may contain links to:

• aircraft manufacturers;
• operators;
• charter companies;
• airports;
• FBOs;
• government agencies;
• aviation authorities;
• advertisers;
• sponsors;
• research organizations;
• social media platforms;
• other publications; and
• unrelated third-party websites.

 

A link from BizJet Journal does not mean we control that website's privacy practices.

Once you leave our Services, the third party's privacy policy applies.

We are not responsible for independent third-party privacy practices.

 

21. EMBEDDED CONTENT

 

Articles may contain embedded videos, social media posts, maps, charts, audio, images, or other third-party content.

When you interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may collect information about you, including device and usage information.

Where legally required, we may restrict non-essential embedded technologies until consent has been provided.

 

SOCIAL MEDIA

 

22. SOCIAL NETWORKS

 

BizJet Journal may maintain profiles on platforms such as LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or other social networks.

If you interact with us through these platforms, the relevant social media company may separately process your information according to its own privacy policy.

Depending on the platform and circumstances, BizJet Journal and the platform may independently determine certain aspects of processing.

We recommend reviewing the privacy settings and privacy policies of any social network you use.

 

EMAIL MARKETING

 

23. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

 

Where permitted by applicable law, we may send emails about:

• new BizJet Journal articles;
• industry news;
• reports;
• research;
• newsletters;
• events;
• new publication features;
• BizJet Journal services; or
• other information we reasonably believe will interest subscribers.

 

Where consent is required, we will seek appropriate consent.

You may opt out using the unsubscribe mechanism included in our emails.

We may maintain minimal suppression information after an unsubscribe request so that we can respect your preference and avoid adding you back to the same mailing list inadvertently.

 

DATA RETENTION

 

24. HOW LONG WE RETAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is permitted or required by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

• the nature of the information;
• why it was collected;
• whether an ongoing relationship exists;
• applicable limitation periods;
• legal requirements;
• tax and accounting requirements;
• security requirements;
• dispute resolution;
• contractual requirements;
• public-interest considerations; and
• journalistic or historical value.

 

For example:

Newsletter records may be retained while you remain subscribed and for a reasonable period afterward to maintain compliance and suppression records.

Commercial communications may be retained for the duration of the business relationship and afterward where necessary for accounting, contractual, legal, or record-keeping purposes.

Website logs may be retained for limited periods based on security and operational requirements.

Advertising records may be retained for accounting, performance reporting, contractual, and legal purposes.

Editorial research and published material may be retained for substantially longer periods, including indefinitely where appropriate, because archives form part of the historical and journalistic record.

 

A request to delete personal information therefore does not necessarily require deletion of lawfully retained published journalistic material or associated editorial records.

 

DATA SECURITY

 

25. HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

BizJet Journal uses reasonable administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and associated risks.

Measures may include, where appropriate:

• access controls;
• password protections;
• multi-factor authentication;
• encrypted connections;
• secure hosting;
• software updates;
• backups;
• restricted administrative privileges;
• anti-malware controls;
• logging and monitoring;
• vendor assessments;
• confidentiality obligations; and
• data minimization practices.

 

However, no website, email system, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore use reasonable care when transmitting information online.

 

26. PERSONAL DATA BREACHES

 

If BizJet Journal becomes aware of a personal data breach, we will assess the nature and potential impact of the incident.

Where applicable law requires it, we will notify the appropriate supervisory authority, affected individuals, or other parties within the legally required timeframe.

We may also take reasonable steps to:

• contain the incident;
• investigate its cause;
• reduce potential harm;
• restore systems;
• improve security; and
• prevent recurrence.

 

INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION TRANSFERS

 

27. CROSS-BORDER PROCESSING

 

BizJet Journal serves an international audience and may use service providers located in multiple countries.

As a result, personal information may be processed in a country different from the one in which you live.

Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we may use mechanisms such as:

• adequacy decisions;
• legally approved contractual clauses;
• Standard Contractual Clauses;
• data processing agreements;
• contractual safeguards;
• consent where legally appropriate; or
• another legally recognized transfer mechanism.

 

We may also conduct appropriate assessments of vendors or processing arrangements where required.

 

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

 

28. GENERAL PRIVACY RIGHTS

 

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• receive information about how your data is processed;
• request access to your personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request completion of incomplete information;
• request deletion or erasure;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to processing;
• object to direct marketing;
• withdraw consent;
• request data portability;
• opt out of certain advertising uses;
• opt out of certain sales or sharing;
• obtain information regarding categories of information collected;
• obtain information regarding categories of recipients;
• request review of certain automated decisions;
• lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; and
• exercise other rights provided under applicable law.

 

These rights are not always absolute.

A request may be refused, restricted, or modified where permitted by law, including where processing is necessary for journalism, freedom of expression, legal compliance, establishment or defense of claims, public interest, security, fraud prevention, or protection of another person's rights.

 

29. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

 

Privacy requests may be submitted to:

Email: privacy@bizjetjournal.com 

Suggested subject line:

Privacy Rights Request – BizJet Journal

Please provide sufficient information for us to:

1. identify you;
2. understand your request;
3. locate relevant records; and
4. verify your identity where necessary.

 

We will not request unnecessary information merely to process a privacy request.

We may request additional verification where reasonably necessary to prevent unauthorized access, fraudulent deletion requests, or disclosure of information to the wrong person.

We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

 

30. AUTHORIZED AGENTS

 

Where permitted by applicable law, you may appoint an authorized agent to make a privacy request on your behalf.

We may require evidence that the person has authority to act for you and may independently verify your identity.

 

31. NO RETALIATION OR DISCRIMINATION

 

Where applicable law provides such protection, BizJet Journal will not unlawfully discriminate against you because you exercise a valid privacy right.

 

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

 

32. EEA PRIVACY RIGHTS

 

If the EU General Data Protection Regulation or equivalent European law applies to our processing of your information, your rights may include:

• access;
• rectification;
• erasure;
• restriction;
• objection;
• portability;
• withdrawal of consent; and
• the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

 

Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object to processing based on circumstances relating to your particular situation.

You have the right to object to direct marketing at any time.

Rights may be limited where a legally recognized journalism or freedom-of-expression exemption applies.

 

UNITED KINGDOM

 

33. UK PRIVACY RIGHTS

 

Where UK data protection law applies, you may have rights under the UK GDPR and related legislation.

These may include rights to:

• be informed;
• access;
• rectification;
• erasure;
• restriction;
• portability;
• object; and
• raise concerns with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

 

Rules concerning cookies, electronic communications, and direct marketing may also apply to certain BizJet Journal activities.

As with other jurisdictions, specific rights may be restricted where legally permitted for journalistic purposes or freedom of expression.

 

KENYA

 

34. KENYAN DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

 

Where the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019, its regulations, or related Kenyan privacy requirements apply, individuals may have rights concerning the processing of their personal data.

Such rights may include rights to:

• be informed about the use of personal data;
• access personal data;
• object to processing;
• request correction of false or misleading information;
• request deletion of certain personal data; and
• exercise other rights available under Kenyan law.

 

Requests may be submitted using the contact information contained in this Privacy Policy.

Where legally applicable, individuals may also lodge complaints with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner of Kenya (ODPC).

Because BizJet Journal engages in publishing and journalism, certain processing may also be subject to provisions dealing specifically with journalistic purposes, freedom of expression, public interest, and media activities.

Any such exemption or limitation will be considered according to the particular circumstances rather than treated as an automatic exemption for all BizJet Journal activities.

 

UNITED STATES

 

35. U.S. STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

 

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights where the relevant privacy law applies to BizJet Journal.

Depending on applicable law, those rights may include:

• confirmation of whether personal information is processed;
• access;
• correction;
• deletion;
• portability;
• information regarding categories of personal information collected;
• information regarding sources;
• information regarding purposes of processing;
• information regarding categories of third parties;
• opting out of sale;
• opting out of sharing;
• opting out of targeted advertising; and
• appealing certain decisions regarding privacy requests.

 

We will honor applicable legally recognized opt-out preference signals where required by law and technically applicable to our Services.

Not every U.S. state privacy law applies to every business. This section therefore applies only to the extent that a relevant law applies to BizJet Journal and the particular processing activity.

 

36. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

 

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act and associated regulations apply to BizJet Journal, California residents may have rights relating to personal information collected by the business.

Categories of personal information that BizJet Journal may process can include:

• identifiers;
• internet or electronic activity;
• professional or employment-related information;
• commercial information;
• approximate geolocation information;
• communications;
• inferences derived from website activity; and
• other information voluntarily submitted to us.

 

Sources may include:

• you;
• your device;
• website interactions;
• service providers;
• publicly available sources;
• business partners;
• professional directories; and
• editorial sources.

 

We process such information for the purposes described throughout this Privacy Policy.

If applicable law considers particular advertising disclosures to constitute "sale" or "sharing," eligible users may exercise applicable opt-out rights through our designated privacy mechanism.

 

CHILDREN

 

37. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

 

BizJet Journal is primarily intended for a professional and general aviation audience and is not designed as a service directed toward young children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through subscriptions, commercial inquiries, or similar services in violation of applicable law.

 

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us unlawfully, please contact: privacy@bizjetjournal.com 

 

Journalistic reporting involving minors is a separate matter and may be processed where lawful and editorially justified, subject to heightened consideration of privacy, dignity, vulnerability, public interest, and applicable legal and ethical standards.

 

SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

38. SENSITIVE DATA

 

BizJet Journal does not ordinarily require users to submit sensitive personal information to use the website or subscribe to standard newsletters.

Depending on applicable law, sensitive information may include information concerning:

• health;
• biometric identifiers;
• precise location;
• race or ethnicity;
• religion;
• political opinions;
• sexual orientation;
• financial credentials;
• government identifiers; or
• similar protected categories.

 

Please do not send sensitive information to us unless it is necessary.

In journalistic contexts, sensitive information may sometimes be relevant to legitimate reporting. Where this occurs, we seek to consider necessity, proportionality, public interest, applicable law, editorial standards, and potential harm.

 

AUTOMATED PROCESSING

 

39. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

 

BizJet Journal does not ordinarily use website visitor or subscriber information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.

If this changes and applicable law requires disclosure, we will provide appropriate information and rights regarding such processing.

 

DATA MINIMIZATION

 

40. INFORMATION WE DO NOT NEED

 

We seek to limit collection to information reasonably relevant to our purposes.

Unless specifically requested and appropriate, please do not submit:

• passport copies;
• national identity documents;
• bank card numbers;
• banking passwords;
• medical records;
• private authentication credentials;
• highly confidential personal documents; or
• other unnecessary sensitive information.

 

USER-GENERATED CONTENT

 

41. COMMENTS AND SUBMISSIONS

 

If BizJet Journal enables public comments, guest submissions, community features, contributor profiles, or similar functionality, information you intentionally make public may become accessible to other users and search engines.

 

You should not post information that you do not wish to become publicly available.

We reserve the right to moderate user-generated content in accordance with our terms, editorial standards, and applicable law.

 

PRESS RELEASES AND MEDIA SUBMISSIONS

 

42. INFORMATION PROVIDED FOR PUBLICATION

 

If you, your organization, a public relations agency, or an authorized representative sends BizJet Journal:

• press releases;
• executive biographies;
• corporate announcements;
• photographs;
• quotes;
• media kits;
• event announcements;
• aircraft information;
• company information; or
• other material intended for media use,

 

we may reasonably understand that information clearly designated for publication to have been supplied for editorial consideration and possible public dissemination.

Submission does not guarantee publication.

 

Personal information not reasonably necessary for publication may be excluded, redacted, or otherwise handled separately.

 

AIRCRAFT, COMPANY, AND INDUSTRY DATA

 

43. AVIATION DATABASES AND INDUSTRY INFORMATION

 

BizJet Journal may publish or analyze information about aircraft, operators, management companies, manufacturers, FBOs, charter companies, airports, brokers, and other aviation businesses.

Much of this information concerns companies, aircraft, or other non-human entities and therefore may not constitute personal information.

However, where aviation-industry information can reasonably identify an individual, we will treat it according to applicable privacy requirements.

 

Sources may include:

• aviation registries;
• government databases;
• regulatory filings;
• operator websites;
• aircraft manufacturer information;
• industry data providers;
• public records;
• press releases;
• interviews; and
• other lawful sources.

 

Where information is used for journalism, research, historical documentation, or industry analysis, the journalistic and editorial provisions of this Privacy Policy may apply.

 

RESEARCH AND MARKET INTELLIGENCE

 

44. INDUSTRY RESEARCH

 

BizJet Journal may conduct surveys, industry studies, market analysis, benchmarking, or other research.

Where practical, published research may use:

• aggregated information;
• anonymized information;
• statistical data; or
• information that does not directly identify participants.

 

If identifiable information is intended to be published as part of a survey or study, we may provide additional disclosure or obtain authorization where appropriate.

 

BUSINESS CONTACT INFORMATION

 

45. PROFESSIONAL AND B2B CONTACTS

 

Because BizJet Journal operates within the business aviation industry, we may process professional contact information for individuals acting in a business capacity.

Examples include:

• corporate email addresses;
• business telephone numbers;
• company names;
• job titles;
• professional biographies;
• LinkedIn profiles;
• media contacts;
• public relations contacts; and
• publicly listed executive information.

 

We may use this information for journalism, source development, interview requests, research, professional communications, advertising discussions, partnerships, and other legitimate business activities.

Business contact information may still constitute personal information under certain privacy laws and will be handled accordingly.

 

DO NOT TRACK AND PRIVACY SIGNALS

 

46. BROWSER PRIVACY SIGNALS

 

Some browsers provide privacy settings or signals indicating a user's preference regarding tracking.

Because legal requirements and technical standards vary, our response may depend on the signal and jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires BizJet Journal to recognize a qualifying universal opt-out or privacy preference signal, we will take reasonable steps to honor it.

 

DO NOT SELL OR SHARE REQUESTS

 

47. ADVERTISING OPT-OUTS

 

If BizJet Journal engages in processing that qualifies as "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under applicable privacy law, eligible users may be provided an option such as:

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

or an equivalent privacy preference control.

The exact mechanism available will depend on the advertising technologies currently deployed and applicable legal requirements.

 

DATA PROCESSORS

 

48. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

 

When service providers process personal information on our behalf, we may require appropriate contractual, confidentiality, security, and data-protection obligations depending on the nature of the relationship and applicable law.

 

We seek to provide service providers only with information reasonably necessary for their function.

Service providers are expected to process information according to their contractual obligations and applicable law.

 

LEGAL REQUESTS

 

49. GOVERNMENT AND LAW-ENFORCEMENT REQUESTS

 

BizJet Journal may receive requests for information from government agencies, courts, regulators, or law-enforcement bodies.

Where appropriate, we may assess such requests for:

• legal validity;
• jurisdiction;
• scope;
• necessity;
• proportionality;
• confidentiality;
• source protection;
• freedom of expression;
• journalistic privilege; and
• applicable rights.

 

Nothing in this Privacy Policy should be interpreted as a voluntary waiver of any journalistic privilege, source protection, legal protection, or freedom-of-expression right available to BizJet Journal.

 

SECURITY OF JOURNALISTIC INFORMATION

 

50. EDITORIAL MATERIAL AND SOURCE INFORMATION

 

Where appropriate, BizJet Journal may apply additional safeguards to unpublished editorial materials, source communications, confidential documents, interview recordings, and research files.

Access may be restricted to individuals who reasonably require such information for editorial, legal, technical, or administrative purposes.

 

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

 

51. PRIVACY CONSIDERATIONS

 

Where appropriate for the nature and risk of processing, BizJet Journal seeks to incorporate privacy considerations into the design and operation of its systems and processes.

This may include:

• minimizing unnecessary data;
• limiting access;
• establishing appropriate retention periods;
• assessing vendors;
• applying reasonable security controls;
• considering privacy risks when introducing new technologies; and
• carrying out additional assessments where legally required.

52. UPDATES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

 

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect:

• changes to our Services;
• new website functionality;
• changes in technology;
• changes in vendors;
• new advertising practices;
• changes to privacy laws;
• regulatory guidance;
• security improvements; or
• changes in our business.

 

When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of the Policy.

We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

53. RIGHT TO COMPLAIN

55. FINAL NOTICE

 

This Privacy Policy describes BizJet Journal's approach to privacy across its website, publishing, editorial, research, newsletter, advertising, and related activities.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any rights that an individual cannot lawfully waive under applicable data protection law.

 

Likewise, nothing in this Privacy Policy should be interpreted as limiting lawful rights and protections available to BizJet Journal in connection with freedom of expression, freedom of the press, journalism, research, publication, historical archiving, source protection, or matters of legitimate public interest.

Where a conflict exists between this Privacy Policy and a mandatory provision of applicable law, the applicable legal requirement will prevail.
