- Retention of Personal Information
The majority of the personal information collected and used as explained in Section 3 above is aggregated and stored in a central database provided by a third-party service provider.

FLY EVENTS PROMOTIONS erases the web browser logs described above on a regular, rolling basis.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Access to Your Personal Information
You are generally entitled to access personal information that Fly Events Promotions holds and to have inaccurate data corrected or removed to the extent FLY EVENTS PROMOTIONS still maintains it. In certain circumstances, you also may have the right to object for legitimate reasons to the processing or transfer of personal information.

- Disclosure of Your Personal Information
FLY EVENTS PROMOTIONS does not disclose personal information to third parties except as specified elsewhere in this policy and in the following instances:
- Fly Events Promotions may share personal information with our contractors and service providers in order to undertake the activities described in Section 3.
- 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 and this Privacy Policy; (c) enforce our Charter, including the Code of Conduct and policies contained and incorporated therein, or (d) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.
- Security of Your Personal Information
Fly Events Promotions has implemented reasonable physical, technical, and organizational security measures for personal information that Fly Events Promotions processes against accidental or unlawful destruction, or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access, in compliance with applicable law. However, no website can fully eliminate security risks. Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. If any data breach occurs, we will post a reasonably prominent notice to the Websites and comply with all other applicable data privacy requirements including, when required, personal notice to you if you have provided and we have maintained an email address for you.
The FLY EVENTS PROMOTIONS Login Services account systems have security risks in addition to those described above. Among other things, they are vulnerable to DNS attacks, and using any FLY EVENTS PROMOTIONS Login Service may increase the risk of phishing.
- Children
The Services are not directed at children under the age of 13. Consistent with the U.S. federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent. Our Master Terms specifically prohibit anyone using our Services from submitting any personally identifiable information about persons under 13 years of age. Any person who provides their personal information to FLY EVENTS PROMOTIONS through the Services represents that they are 13 years of age or older.
- Third Party Service Providers
Fly Events Promotions uses many third-party service providers in connection with the Services, including website hosting services, database management, credit card processing, and many more. Some of these service providers may place session cookies on your computer, and they may collect and store your personal information on our behalf in accordance with the data practices and purposes explained above in Section 3.
- Third Party Sites
The Services may provide links to a wide variety of third-party websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.
- Transferring Data to Other Countries
If you are accessing or using the Services in regions with laws governing data collection, processing, transfer and use, please note that when we use and share your data as specified in this policy, we may transfer your information to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information.
The Services are currently hosted in the United States which means your personal information may be located on servers in the United. Most contractors that Fly Events Promotions is using as of the effective date of this Privacy Policy are located in the United States and in Canada, but this may change from time to time.
Data transferred from the European Union to the United States or outside the European Union will be made on the grounds of a certification to the E.U./U.S. Privacy Shield regime and/or a data transfer agreement based on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved of by the European Commission respectively, consistent with applicable data privacy requirements.
