Your privacy is important to us at Aerodynamic Media, LLC (“Aerodynamic Media,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit or use aerodynamicmedia.com, purchase products through our website, subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or otherwise interact with our services.
By using our website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, and the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, purchase products, or otherwise interact with our website.
Depending on how you use the website, the information we may collect includes your name, email address, country or region, postal or ZIP code, order and transaction information, and information you provide when communicating with us.
When you place an order through our online store, WooCommerce and our payment and ecommerce service providers may also collect technical and transaction-related information necessary to process and secure the order. This may include your IP address, browser and device information, and information relating to the transaction.
We collect and use this information to provide products and services, process and deliver orders, communicate with customers, provide customer support, prevent fraud and abuse, maintain website security, comply with legal obligations, and operate and improve our website.
How We Use Personal Information
We may use information we collect to:
- Process and fulfill orders for digital products;
- Provide access to purchased digital publications;
- Send order confirmations, download links, and other transaction-related communications;
- Respond to questions, requests, and customer-service inquiries;
- Send newsletters when you have voluntarily subscribed to them;
- Maintain and secure our website and online store;
- Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and other potentially harmful activity;
- Understand website usage and improve our content and services;
- Display and manage advertising and affiliate content;
- Comply with applicable legal obligations; and
- Protect our rights, property, users, and business.
Information We Do Not Sell
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
We may disclose information to service providers and other third parties when reasonably necessary to operate our website, process transactions, provide services, maintain security, communicate with customers, comply with legal obligations, or otherwise perform legitimate business functions described in this Privacy Policy.
Online Store and WooCommerce
Our online store uses WooCommerce to provide ecommerce functionality and process orders.
Because our store currently uses guest checkout, customers are not required to create a customer account to purchase products.
Information associated with an order may include your name, email address, country or region, postal or ZIP code, products purchased, order information, payment method information, and technical information such as your IP address.
WooCommerce stores order information on our website’s hosting environment as necessary to operate the store, maintain transaction records, provide customer service, prevent fraud, and comply with legal and accounting obligations.
WooCommerce’s privacy documentation explains that the specific information collected and retained by a store depends on the store’s configuration and installed extensions. We configure our store to collect only the information reasonably necessary for our current operations.
Payment Processing
Payments for products purchased through our online store are processed by third-party payment providers, including PayPal.
Payment information is provided to the applicable payment processor as necessary to authorize and complete transactions. Payment processors may collect and process information such as your name, email address, transaction information, and payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.
Aerodynamic Media does not need to receive or store your full payment card number in order to process purchases through these payment services.
For more information, please review the privacy policies of the applicable payment providers.
Digital Product Delivery
Our primary products are digital aviation magazines and related publications, generally delivered in PDF format.
After completing a purchase, customers receive a download link on the order-completion page and may also receive a download link by email.
Download links may be subject to reasonable technical limitations, including download limits and expiration periods. These limitations are used to help protect our digital publications from unauthorized distribution.
Print Publications
Print editions of our publications are available through links to MagCloud, a separate third-party publishing and fulfillment provider.
When you purchase a print publication through MagCloud, MagCloud handles the applicable transaction, printing, fulfillment, and shipping. Information submitted through MagCloud is governed by MagCloud’s own privacy policy and terms.
Aerodynamic Media does not directly collect or process the payment information associated with a purchase completed through MagCloud.
Newsletter
Aerodynamic Media uses Mailchimp to distribute newsletters and other email communications to subscribers.
When you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, we may collect information such as your email address and name. Mailchimp processes subscriber information on our behalf and may collect additional information relating to email delivery and engagement.
You may unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in our emails or by contacting us.
Mailchimp’s use of personal information is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.

Affiliate relationships do not necessarily influence the editorial content or opinions expressed by Aerodynamic Media.
Third-Party Content and Embedded Services
Our website may contain embedded videos, images, social-media content, or other material provided by third-party services.

Where required by applicable law, third-party content and related technologies are subject to our consent controls.
Google Fonts
Our website may use Google Fonts or other font resources to display website content.
Depending on how fonts are served on the website, your browser may communicate with Google or another service to obtain font resources. Such communication may involve technical information such as your IP address and browser information.

Social Media
We maintain or link to social-media accounts and may include links or embedded content from services such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and other platforms.
Following a link to a social-media website or interacting with embedded social-media content may allow the applicable platform to collect information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
Aerodynamic Media does not control the privacy practices of third-party social-media platforms.
Hosting and Website Security
Our website is hosted using Bluehost.
We also use Sucuri and other security technologies to help protect our website against malicious activity, unauthorized access, attacks, spam, and other security threats.

Our current online store does not require customers to provide a physical street address for direct digital-product purchases. We generally collect only the country or region and postal or ZIP code requested by our current checkout configuration.
