Your privacy is important to us!
Capital Helicopters, LLC ("we" or "us") is headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, USA. We know
that the privacy of personal information is an important concern to our customers and business associates
(“you” or “your”). We are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy and personal information
according to our Privacy Policy defined below.
By your interaction and communication with Capital Helicopters, including the use of this Web Site, you
consent to the collection and use of personal information as outlined in this privacy policy.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our privacy policy, please contact
us.
|
We collect and use various types of information ("Customer Information") about you and your lease accounts to
establish and service your accounts, to save you time and money, to better respond to your needs and to manage our
business and risk.
Customer Information consists of the following eight types of information:
- Identification Information - information that identifies you, such as name, address, telephone
number, social security number, or - in case of a business - employer identification number.
- General Inquiries - any information you provide to us through all communications, whether through telephone,
mail, letters, e-mail, our web site or any other forms of communication.
- Lease Quote Information - information you provide to us online or through other means when requesting a Lease
Quote as well as our quote details in response to your request.
- Lease Application Information - information you provide to us on lease aplications and through other means that
will help us to determine under what terms you may be eligible for leases you request. Examples include financial
statements, tax returns, and other documents validating assests, income, debt, and conduct.
- Information from Outside Sources - information from outside sources regarding credit, employment, and other
relationships that will help us to determine under what terms you may be eligible for leases you request. Examples include
consumer and credit reports, employment history, loan and credit card balances, property insurance coverages, data from
public records, references, and other verifications.
- Transaction Information - information about transactions and account experience, as well as
related communications with you. Examples include account balances, payment history, transaction inquiries and
responses.
- Web Site Traffic Information - information Capital Helicopters collects to enhance your on-line experience.
Particularly, we gather certain information regarding Web Site activity and visits in log files for future analysis.
Information collected includes anonymous data like IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, pages visited
and time spent on the Web Site. This information is used in aggregate to analyze and improve our Web Site.
Please note that while IP addresses
can be tied to personally identifiable information, this is not a practice Capital Helicopters utilizes at this time.
Capital Helicopters uses Google Analytics software to analyze Web Site activity but not to capture personal information.
(More information on Google Analytics can be obtained from its web site
at http://www.google.com/analytics/).
- Use of Cookies - To enhance your on-line experience with our Web Site we may use persistent cookies to
"remember" information from your earlier visits to our Web Site. Instead of keeping this information on our servers
it is kept on your computer in form of a cookie, i.e. a very small text file stored on your hard drive for an
extended period of time. When you visit our Web Site again the content of the cookie, i.e. the knowledge related
to your earlier visit is loaded.
|
We take our responsibilities to keeping Customer Information secure very seriously. We have security measures
and tools in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
Only appropriate employees are authorized to access Customer Information and only for business purposes.
Our employees are bound by a code of ethics that requires confidential treatment of Customer Information.
Employees are subject to disciplinary action if they fail to follow this code.
|
We manage how and when information is shared within Capital Helicopters and with third parties.
No nonpublic personal information of current or former customers will be shared by us
with any affiliated or nonaffiliated third party except as explicitly authorized by you or by law.
Any required transmission of the customer's information will be done by secure procedures.
While such information is retained by us, it will be held confidentially pursuant to our
security policy, with access limited to those trained and authorized to handle such information.
Capital Helicopters reserves the right to disclose information about you and your interaction with
us when we believe such disclosure is reasonable and/or appropriate. Though Capital Helicopters works
to preserve user privacy, Capital Helicopters may need to disclose Customer Information when required
by law, to cooperate with governmental or internal investigations, during judicial proceedings, in
response to a court order or legal process served on Capital Helicopters or its affiliates or to enforce
Capital Helicopters’ rights.
When you provide Capital Helicopters with information online, your information is transferred without encryption.
Therefore, your data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure and we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with our
Web Site. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example,
if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must
immediately notify us.
|
When you contact us through our Contact Us web site page or through e-mail,
the information you provide including the e-mail address you specify will only be used to
respond directly to you inquiry. We will not use your e-mail address to contact you for
any other purpose or share your name and e-mail address with a third party without your explicit consent.
|
All information you submit on our Lease Quote Request Form is exclusively used
to prepare and to provide you with a Lease Quote for your
evaluation.
|
All the documents and information you submit in conjunction with your lease application
and any additional information from your creditors, banks, financial institutions, credit
agencies and any other persons or business we deem necessary to obtain in order to evaluate
and verify your credit, financial status, and employment, is exclusively used to determine
the terms at which we may qualify you for the requested lease.
The lease application and all information gathered in conjunction with this application remain
the property of Capital Helicopters whether the lease is granted or not.
|
On occasions it is necessary to send out strictly lease account related announcements or requests. Generally,
you may not opt-out of these types of communications as they are required to manage your account.
Note that these communications are not promotional in nature and you may always opt-out of any promotional
communications.
|
We reserve the right to transfer any and all information that we collect from users to a third party in
the event of any merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion
of Capital Helicopter's assets (including without limitation in connection with any bankruptcy or similar
proceedings).
|
If Capital Helicopters decides to amend or update this privacy policy, Capital Helicopters will post those
changes to this privacy policy, accessible from this Web Site, and other places Capital Helicopters deems
appropriate so you are always aware of what information Capital Helicopters collects, how Capital Helicopters
uses that information, and under what circumstances, if any, Capital Helicopters discloses it. Capital Helicopters will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
Any changes to our privacy policy will become effective upon posting of the revised privacy policy on
the Internet, accessible through this Web Site. You can determine when this privacy policy was last revised by
referring to the “Last Revised” date on the top of this page. Continued communication with
Capital Helicopters, following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised privacy policy then in
effect. We encourage you to bookmark this page and to periodically review it to ensure familiarity with the most
