Welcome to the official website of Sepulveda Aviation ("we," "our," or "us"). This document outlines our Privacy Policy, Data Retention Policy, EEA/GDPR Addendum, and Terms of Service governing your access to and use of this website, which is hosted on Squarespace.

Part I: Privacy and Data Retention Policy

  • We collect information directly from you when you submit inquiries or interact with our site, as well as analytical data generated by your visit:

    • Information You Provide: When you reach out via contact forms or email, we collect your name, email address, company or organizational details, and the contents of your message.

    • Automatically Collected Data: Like most websites hosted on Squarespace, our site automatically collects technical and device data, including:

      • IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system.

      • Pages viewed, referring URLs, timestamps, and navigation behavior.

      • Essential cookies and functional analytics provided by Squarespace to ensure website reliability and performance.

  • We may allow third-party advertising partners, networks, and programmatic ad services to display advertisements on our website.

    • Third-Party Cookies & Tracking: These third-party advertisers may deploy their own cookies, web beacons, pixels, or similar tracking technologies through your browser to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to this and other websites (such as device characteristics, browsing patterns, and interaction with ads) to deliver tailored advertising.

    • Third-Party Policy Governance: Sepulveda Aviation does not control, store, or manage the data collected by these third-party advertisers. Any information or cookie data gathered by outside advertisers is governed entirely by the respective third party’s independent privacy policy, data retention rules, cookie practices, and terms of use. We encourage you to review the individual privacy disclosures of any third-party ad networks displayed.

    • Managing Cookies & Opt-Outs: You can manage or disable advertising cookies through your browser settings or via universal opt-out mechanisms (such as the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative).

  • The information collected directly by us is used by Sepulveda Aviation and Squarespace (as our platform host) to:

    • Respond to direct inquiries, consulting requests, and general communications.

    • Maintain, secure, and optimize website performance and stability.

    • Analyze aggregate site traffic, operational metrics, and overall usability.

    • Direct Data: Your direct personal data (such as contact form inquiries) will not knowingly be sold, rented, leased, or traded to outside third parties for their independent direct marketing purposes.

    • Platform Infrastructure: Information is processed through Squarespace to provide hosting, form transmission, and standard platform analytics under standard service provider agreements.

    • Third-Party Ad Networks: Non-direct browsing activity may be collected directly by third-party ad vendors via cookies as outlined in Section 2.

    • Legal Compliance: We will disclose information if strictly required by applicable law, regulation, subpoena, or valid legal process.

  • We retain collected information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy:

    • Inquiry & Communication Records: Retained for the duration of active business correspondence or client engagements, and securely archived or deleted once no longer needed.

    • Platform Analytics: Aggregate site logs and traffic data are retained in accordance with Squarespace standard retention schedules.

    • Third-Party Advertising Data: Retention schedules for third-party advertising cookies and collected browsing metrics are determined exclusively by the respective third-party advertisers under their own data retention policies.

    • Data Removal Requests: You may request the deletion of your personal contact records at any time by contacting us directly.

  • We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Part II: EEA / GPDR Addendum

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the processing of your personal data is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This Addendum supplements our standard Privacy Policy and outlines your statutory rights and our legal obligations under EU law.

  • We process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis under GDPR Article 6, which includes:

    • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): When you opt-in to non-essential cookies or give explicit permission to receive communications. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

    • Contractual Necessity (Art. 6(1)(b)): When processing is necessary to respond to your inquiries, deliver requested services, or prepare to enter into a business contract with you.

    • Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): When necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as securing our website, analyzing aggregate web traffic, and maintaining operational continuity, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.

  • If you are an EEA data subject, you hold the following rights regarding your personal data:

    • Right of Access (Art. 15): Request copies of your personal data held by us.

    • Right to Rectification (Art. 16): Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

    • Right to Erasure / "To Be Forgotten" (Art. 17): Request the deletion of your personal data under specific circumstances.

    • Right to Restrict Processing (Art. 18): Request the temporary suspension of data processing.

    • Right to Data Portability (Art. 20): Request the transfer of your structured data to another provider.

    • Right to Object (Art. 21): Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

    • Right to Withdraw Consent (Art. 7(3)): Withdraw previously granted consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

    To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@sepulvedaaviation.com.

  • If you believe our data processing practices violate European data protection laws, you have the right under GDPR Article 77 to lodge a formal complaint with your local supervisory authority or Data Protection Authority (DPA) within the EEA.

  • Sepulveda Aviation is based in Sacramento, California, United States, and our website is hosted on Squarespace servers located in the United States. If you access our site from the EEA, your data is transferred to and processed in the United States. Such transfers are conducted in compliance with legally approved transfer mechanisms, including standard contractual clauses or certified frameworks (such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
