Privacy Policy

This Master Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains the collection, use, and disclosure of “personal information” by iPER Media Limited, a UK Limited company, with its principal place of business at Marshall House, 124 Middleton Road, Morden Surrey, SM4 6RW, through the websites that iPER Media Limited operates on behalf of its clients and for its own business (collectively, together with all sub-domains thereof). For avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any of the websites operated by international affiliates of iPER Media Limited.

In addition, additional or supplemental Privacy Policy terms (“Supplemental Privacy Policy Terms”) may apply to a particular Website or service provided thereon. All such Supplemental Privacy Policy Terms will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, that Website or service.

As used in this policy, “personal information” means information that would allow a party to identify you such as, for example, your name, address or location, telephone number or email address.

By accessing the Websites, you are accepting and agreeing to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Our Principles

iPER Media Limited is committed to handling responsibly the information and data we collect about you through our Websites, whether personal information or non personal browsing and site usage data. We have designed our Privacy Policy and our Data Usage Policy consistent with the following principles (the “Principles”):

  1. Privacy policies and data collection and use policies should be human readable, comprehensive, and easy to locate;
  2. Only the minimum amount of information reasonably necessary to provide you with services should be collected and maintained, and only for so long as reasonably needed or required;
  3. Information you provide through our Websites, or that we gather as a result of your use of our Websites, should not be used for marketing or advertising purposes, nor should it be provided voluntarily (without your permission) to anyone else unless required; and
  4. Unless restricted or prohibited by law, and provided your email address has been collected and retained, you should be notified when circumstances require iPER Media Limited to provide a third party with your personal information.

Personal Information iPER Media Collects

We may collect personal information at several places on the Websites, including without limitation:

  • when you provide us with your personal information such as by sending an email to us or signing up to receive a newsletter or our events listing;
  • when you subscribe to one of our email lists or register to establish a user account on any of our Websites (such as the Aero Society Channel (located at http://aerosocietychannel.com);
  • when you donate money to us or purchase merchandise;
  • when you provide personal information in connection with your participation in any of the forums we make available to that community.

What iPER Media does with Personal Information

Emails and Newsletters. We use the personal information you provide to us when you send us emails or sign up to receive our newsletter or events listing in order to respond to your request — for example, to reply to your email or to send you communications about news and events related to iPER Media Limited.

Participating on our Channels: Registered Users. When you register to obtain a user account on any of the Websites (any such person, a “Registered User”), including but not limited to the Aero Society Channel site (located at http://aerosocietychannel.com) you may be asked to provide personal information to create your account and establish a password and profile. If you do provide your email address, it will allow us to send you your password if you should forget it. If you voluntarily provide your real name in connection with any content you submit to any Website, your name may be associated with the content you contributed (such as when you post a comment). We will also use that personal information to establish and maintain your membership of that site and provide you with the features we provide for Registered Users, and for the purpose of contacting you about upcoming news and events relevant to iPER Media Limited and the relevant Channel.

Any other personal information that we may collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.

Disclosures of Personal Information

In general, it is not iPER Media Limited’ practice to disclose personal information to third parties. We may share personal information in two instances:

First, iPER Media Limited may share personal information with our contractors and service providers in order to maintain, enhance, or add to the functionality of the Websites or the Channel service.

Second, we may disclose your personal information to third parties in a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Master Terms of Use and Privacy Policy; (c) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, court summons or court order; or (d) protect our rights, reputation, and property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public.

If iPER Media Limited is required to provide a third party with your personal information (whether by court summons or otherwise), then provided we have collected and retained an email address for you, iPER Media Limited will use reasonable means to notify you promptly of that event, unless prohibited by law or iPER Media is otherwise advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.

Security of Personal Information Collected via the Websites; Aero Society Channel

iPER Media Limited has implemented reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to and unlawful interception or processing of personal information that iPER Media Limited stores and controls. However, no website can fully eliminate security risks. Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We will post a reasonably prominent notice to the Websites if any such security breach occurs.

Data Usage Policy: Non Personal Browsing and Site Usage Information

Our Data Usage Policy covers how we maintain and use information about you that is collected by our Websites and server logs, including when you log into a website using your Channel credentials.

Non Personal Browsing Information We Collect. When you use the Websites, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) may collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of your “IP address”) about your activities while visiting the Websites and information about the browser you are using. In addition, whenever you use your login credentials to log into a website, our servers (which, again, may be hosted by a third party service provider) keep a log of the websites you visit and when you visit them.

No Linking. We do not intentionally link browsing information to the personal information you submit to us. We use this information for internal purposes only, such as to help understand how the Websites are being used, to improve our Websites and the features we provide, and for systems administration purposes. iPER Media may use a third party analytics provider to help us collect and analyze non personal browsing information through operation of our Websites for those same purposes.

No Selling or Sharing. Except in the unique situations identified in this Privacy Policy, iPER Media Limited does not sell or otherwise voluntarily provide the non personal browsing information we collect about you or your website usage to third parties.

No Retention. iPER Media discards non personal browsing information from our server logs once we have used the information for the limited purposes noted above, under “No Linking.”

Notice. If iPER Media Limited is required to provide a third party with your non personal browsing information or to log in on behalf of an Channel user (whether by court summons or otherwise), then iPER Media will use reasonable means to notify you promptly of that event, unless iPER Media is prohibited by law from doing so or is otherwise advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.

Any other non-personal information that we collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.

Reorganization or Spin-Offs

iPER Media Limited may transfer some or all of your personal and/or non personal browsing information to a third party as a result of a reorganization, spin-off or similar transaction. Upon such transfer, the acquirer’s privacy policy will apply. In such event, iPER Media will use reasonable efforts to notify you and to ensure that at the time of the transaction the acquirer’s privacy policy complies with the Principles.

Third-Party Sites

The Websites may include links to other websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.

Special Note to International Users

The Websites are hosted in the Britain. If you are accessing the Websites from the United States, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use and disclosure that differ from British laws, please note that you are transferring your personal data to Britain which does not have the same data protection laws as the U.S. and other regions. By providing your personal data you consent to:

  • the use of your personal data for the uses identified above in accordance with the Privacy Policy; and
