Your information is used to provide you with the best possible skydiving experience and to manage our operations effectively. We use your data responsibly and only for the purposes for which it was collected.

Data Security and Storage
We implement robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We understand the importance of data security and continuously strive to maintain the highest standards.
- Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies (e.g., SSL/TLS) to protect data transmitted over the internet, especially for sensitive information like payment details.
- Access Control: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who require the information to perform their duties. All staff are trained on data protection protocols.
- Secure Servers: Your data is stored on secure servers with advanced firewalls and intrusion detection systems, regularly monitored for vulnerabilities.
- Data Retention: We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
- Third-Party Processors: When we use third-party services (e.g., payment gateways, analytics providers), we ensure they adhere to strict data protection standards and are compliant with relevant privacy regulations.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you before your personal information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
