Privacy Policy

Information you create or provide to us

When you sign up for an account on the Eastrise Aviation website, subdomain, Android App or iOS app, you provide us with personal information. This can include your email address, name, birthday, gender, your password, mobile phone number, photos, and personal preferences. We will, when you subscribe to our Flight Scheduling site, modify your Google Calendar events through an automated process. We will NOT delete your personal calendar events apart from the ones we create on our website related to your flying training schedule which will synchronise with your calendar to allow you to view your flight training schedules and other events related to your training, as well as receive automated reminders if set on your training flights or other events. We will manually disconnect this service from your Google Calendar and Google account in general when you graduate or discontinue training with Eastrise Aviation. You may also unlink your calendar by clicking the green CONNECTED TO GOOGLE CALENDAR button. Confirmation of the delinking can be confirmed when the button changes from green to blue and shows CONNECT GOOGLE CALENDAR. We are not able to connect your Google calendar to our system – this is a manual process which must be initiated by you on your end when you login into the Eastrise Flight Booking system using your email address as well as to your Google account on your device. Please note that Google Calendar and the Google logo are trademarks of Google Inc., and are governed by Google’s privacy policy as well as their terms of service.

The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Although we reserve the right, we are not obligated in any way to moderate any and all conversations, blog posts, discussions, topics, tags, posts or images – be it in the Eastrise discussion forums, blog, events pages and other resources.
