Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://raisethepilotage.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a "hash") may be shared with the Gravatar service to check whether you're using it. The Gravatar service's privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to this website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from any image posted here.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies, purely for your convenience so you don't need to re-enter that information the next time you comment. These cookies last for one year.

This site uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited and how long visitors spend on the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information anonymously and in the aggregate; it does not identify you individually. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by adjusting your browser's cookie settings, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Embedded Content

Pages on this site may include embedded content — videos, images, articles, and so on. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that site.

Who We Share Your Data With

Membership List. If you become a member, we keep your name and contact information on our internal membership roster so we can communicate with you about the organization and our advocacy work. We do not sell, rent, or trade your membership information to any third party. You can opt out of future communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by emailing us directly.

LEPF PAC Contributions. If you contribute to the LEPF PAC, federal election law requires contributor information — including name, address, occupation, and employer — to be reported to the Federal Election Commission for contributions meeting FEC reporting thresholds. That information becomes part of the public record the FEC maintains, independent of anything we do with it.

Contact Congress & White House Tool. If you use this tool to send a message, your name and message content are transmitted directly to the congressional office(s) or the White House you choose to contact. We do not retain or further share that information beyond delivering it on your behalf.

Email Service Provider. We use a third-party email service to send our newsletter and NOTAM updates. That provider processes your email address solely to deliver our communications and does not use it for any other purpose.

If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's own data retention settings, and we retain the aggregated, anonymized analytics data derived from it only as long as needed to track site performance over time.

For any users who register on this website, we also store the personal information provided in their user profile. Every user can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Site 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 an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including anything you've provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you — except data we're obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
