Privacy Policy

This document discloses the data protection and privacy practices for Air Sports Group Ltd (ASG).

Your privacy is very important to us. Please read below to see how ASG handles information.

For the purpose of this Privacy Policy and the Data Protection Act 1998, Air Sports Group Ltd is registered at 642a Kings Road, London, United Kingdom, SW6 2DU. Registration number is 11767236.

Questions regarding this privacy policy should be directed to ASG via our contact form (https://www.airsportsgroup.com).

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and personalised experience while using our services. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customise our service to make your experience easier and quicker.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions if you are a customer.

INFORMATION YOU GIVE US

When you contract with us we may ask you for information that shall include but shall not be limited to: your name; contact information including email address, mobile phone number, address.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

With regard to each of your visits to our sites and applications, we use a web analytics tool to analyse site usage, how our users arrive at our site, what they do on the site, what browser they are using and on what operating system etc. However, this analytics data, collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site, is not tied to personally identifiable information.  We use Google Analytics (https://www.google.com/analytics/) for this purpose.

COOKIES.

We use a number of different cookies on our site. If you do not know what cookies are, or how to control or delete them, then we recommend you visit https://www.aboutcookies.org/ for detailed guidance.

Please read our cookie policy.

SOCIAL BUTTONS.

On our websites you may see 'social buttons'. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages. There are buttons for LinkedIn. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of ASG. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on ASG’s site. So if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting https://www.airsportsgroup.com/ the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button if you are logged into their services, like Google and Facebook. You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.

EXTERNAL WEB SERVICES

We use a number of external web services on the ASG website, mostly to display content within our web pages. For example to show videos we use YouTube. This is not the only service we use, or might use in the future, when embedding content, but it is the most common. As with the social buttons we cannot prevent these sites, or external domains, from collecting information on your usage of this embedded content. If you are not logged in to these external services then they will not know who you are but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views, plays, loads etc.

EMAIL TRACKING

Most standard emails that we send you have no tracking in at all.  Some marketing and all platform emails we track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on the email. We rarely use the latter information at a personal level, rather we use it to understand open and click rates on our emails to try and improve them. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked then you should opt out of ASG’s marketing emails which you can do at the bottom of every email you receive.

SURVEYS AND CONTESTS.

From time to time our site may request information from users via surveys, contests or for a particular service (e.g. newsletter). Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested will include contact information (as supplied to the site during registration) and supplementary information on your interests, opinions and preferences (e.g. feedback on the ASG service). We will use the contact information to notify winners. We will not publish winners' details on the site though on request we will provide details of any winner's name. If the survey or contest has a sponsor then we may share information given by entrants with the sponsor, but only with the user's consent.

NEWS/BLOG COMMENTS.

In order to leave a comment in our Blog you have to give us at least your Name and Email address. You can choose whether to post as yourself, or anonymously. We require name and email address even for anonymous posts for quality control purposes.

2. OUR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyse site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customise our site's content, layout, and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet our users' needs.

We use your email address to send you newsletters or other communications that you have requested from the Site. Out of respect for our clients we offer an opt-out (see Section 3 below).

We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Site, to resolve any disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms & Conditions. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve disputes.

Your Personal Information is stored in our databases. Please note that the information you enter may be transferred outside the European Economic Area to the United States of America where it will be stored for the purposes of processing by Air Sports Group Ltd or any of its affiliates including subcontractors. By submitting your information, you consent to this transfer.

ASG complies with the UK Data Protection Act 1998 and from the 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation.

3. EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

As part of the registration process you have the opportunity to opt in or out of various email communications. If at any stage you wish no longer to receive any emails that you receive you can unsubscribe or change your preferences on any of the emails that you receive.

4. OUR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.

Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorise us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, Intellectual Property Rights infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.

MANAGING AND DELETING YOUR INFORMATION.

We store information until it is no longer necessary to provide our services, or until your account is deleted, whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things like the nature of the information, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs.

If you would like to manage, change, limit, or delete your information please contact the data processor at ASG via our contact form.

LEGAL REQUESTS.

ASG cooperates with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws, Intellectual Property Rights and other rights. Local and international law enforcement agencies can request and may receive your personally identifiable information.
