What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Personal Information

So that we can provide our Chapter Members (Members) with the most efficient and functional experience, active Members (as identified by the Washington Pilot’s Association (WPA)) are allowed to register and maintain accounts on our website. For purposes of creating these accounts and authentication of these accounts once created, we collect identifiable information from you such as their member name. valid email address, and a confidential password. After account creation, you are allowed to add additional information (at your choosing) including but not limited to addresses, telephone numbers, and demographic information such as age, and gender. Registration is required and Personal Information may also be collected to access Member only areas and content of the Website or to participate in any community postings (i.e. blog/post/article comments as described below). We also may collect and store information about you that we receive from other sources (e.g. updated membership information from the WPA) to enable us to update and correct the information contained in our system.

Who we share your data with

Akismet

Visitor comments may be checked through Akismet, an automated spam detection service. The information we share with Akismet typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

Gravatar Hovercards

Data Used: An anonymized hash of the user’s email address (if logged in to the site) to the Gravatar service (owned by Automattic) in order to retrieve their profile image. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Sharing

Data Used: When sharing content via email (this option is only available if Akismet is active on the site), the following information is used: sharing party’s name and email address (if the user is logged in, this information will be pulled directly from their account), IP address (for spam checking), user agent (for spam checking), and email body/content. This content will be sent to Akismet (also owned by Automattic) so that a spam check can be performed. Additionally, if reCAPTCHA (by Google) is enabled by the site owner, the sharing party’s IP address will be shared with that service. You can find Google’s privacy policy here.

How long we retain your data

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.
