Michiana Air Activities Flying Club (“MAA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a nonprofit flying club based in Elkhart, Indiana. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, or participate in club activities and communications. (As a general matter, privacy notices are intended to describe collection, use, sharing, and protection practices.)
We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any message content when you contact us (including via email at info@flymaa.org) or submit forms. We may also collect information related to membership or prospective membership inquiries, such as aviation background details you choose to share, meeting RSVPs, and other administrative details needed to communicate with you and operate the club. In addition, our website may automatically collect certain technical information about your visit—such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and dates/times of access—often through cookies or similar technologies.
We use information to respond to inquiries, communicate about meetings and club-related updates, process and administer membership-related requests, and maintain club records. We also use information to operate, maintain, and improve our website and services, including diagnosing technical issues and protecting against spam, fraud, or misuse. We may use aggregated or de-identified information (that does not identify you) for analytics and reporting. We do not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with what’s described here without providing additional notice when required.
Our website may use cookies and similar tools to remember preferences, measure site performance, and understand how visitors use our content. These tools may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited. Federal Trade Commission
You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect certain site features. Where available, we will honor opt-out mechanisms provided by analytics vendors (for example, opt-out browser add-ons or settings).
We may use third-party service providers to support our operations, such as website hosting, file/document delivery, email services, website security, spam prevention, and analytics. When we use these providers, they may process information on our behalf to perform services (for example, hosting logs, email delivery, or website analytics). Some embedded content or features (such as maps, videos, or social media widgets) may also allow the third party to collect information about your device and interactions. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our site.You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect certain site features. Where available, we will honor opt-out mechanisms provided by analytics vendors (for example, opt-out browser add-ons or settings).
We may share information with service providers who help us run the website and club operations, but only as needed for them to perform their services. We may also disclose information if required by law or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of MAA, our members, or others. We do not sell your personal information. If we ever engage in a practice that qualifies as “sale” or “sharing” under applicable privacy laws, we will provide the appropriate notices and choices.
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the club, maintaining records, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of information (for example, administrative records may be retained longer than routine inquiries). For jurisdictions that require retention disclosures, we aim to retain each category of personal information only for as long as needed for the stated purpose.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at info@flymaa.org
Our website and club communications are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete it.
You may contact us at info@flymaa.org to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable laws and legitimate operational needs. You may also opt out of non-essential communications by using any unsubscribe mechanism provided or by emailing us. If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under California privacy law (including specific notice requirements at collection).
If a security breach affects certain types of personal information, we will provide notifications as required by applicable law, including Indiana’s security breach notification statute.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the “Effective date” at the top when changes are made, and we may provide additional notice if required by law.
