Privacy policy
What we collect when you use Acquire Aero, why, who sees it and the choices you have. In plain terms, with nothing hidden in the small print.
01Who we are
Acquire Aero helps buyers compare private aircraft and buy one, through our in-house brokerage or a partner brokerage. We are based in Miami, Florida. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Acquire Aero, and “you” means anyone who visits the site or sends us an enquiry.
We are responsible for the personal information described here. If you have a question about it, or want to use any of the rights set out below, see how to contact us.
02What we collect
Most of the site works without telling us anything about you. Browsing aircraft, filtering, comparing models and using the charter calculator all happen in your browser, and we don’t ask who you are.
When you send an enquiry, we collect what you enter in the form:
- Your trip and needs: typical passengers, typical trip, how you’ll use the aircraft and where it will be based.
- Your plans: new or pre-owned, budget band, timing and any models you’re interested in.
- Your details: name, email address, country, how you’d like us to reach you and, if you choose a call, your phone number and a convenient time.
- Anything else you tell us in the optional note.
With your enquiry we also keep a short note of how you found the site: the page you first arrived on, the website that linked you to us (if any) and any campaign tags in the link you followed. This tells us which articles and links bring people to us. It doesn’t identify you on its own.
To stop automated spam, we check each enquiry with Cloudflare Turnstile and limit how many enquiries can be sent from one connection in an hour. For that limit we keep a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address, not the address itself, and we don’t store your IP address with your enquiry.
Like every website, our hosting provider receives the technical information your browser sends when it loads a page, such as your IP address and browser type, and keeps it briefly in its logs to run and protect the service.
03How we use it
- To reply to your enquiry, prepare figures for your home base and the aircraft you’re considering, and keep in touch about it in the way you asked us to.
- If you decide to go ahead, to handle your purchase through our in-house brokerage, or to introduce you to the partner brokerage best placed to help (see who we share it with).
- To keep a record of enquiries and any purchase that follows, as any business must.
- To understand, in aggregate, which pages and links bring people to us, so we can improve the site.
- To protect the site and the enquiry form from spam and abuse.
We don’t sell your information or use it to advertise to you, and we don’t make decisions about you by automated means.
04Our legal basis
If you’re in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, data protection law asks us to explain the basis on which we use your information:
- Your request: we use your enquiry to take the steps you asked for before any agreement, such as replying with figures and options.
- Your consent: you agree to be contacted about your enquiry when you send it. You can withdraw that consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests: keeping records, understanding how people find us and protecting the site from abuse, in ways you would reasonably expect.
- Legal obligations: keeping records the law requires once a purchase goes ahead.
06International transfers
We are based in the United States and our service providers may store or process information in the United States or other countries. Where your information moves out of the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we rely on our providers’ recognized safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect it.
07How long we keep it
We keep an enquiry for as long as we need it to help you and to keep a record of any purchase that follows, and for any longer period the law requires. When we no longer need it, we delete it. You can ask us to delete your enquiry sooner (see your rights).
The scrambled IP addresses used to limit repeat submissions serve no other purpose and are not linked to your enquiry.
08Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct it, or to delete it;
- object to or restrict how we use it;
- ask for it in a portable format;
- withdraw your consent to be contacted, at any time.
Residents of some US states, including California, have similar rights to know, correct and delete. We don’t sell or share personal information for advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of.
To use any of these rights, contact us. We’ll reply within the time the law sets and won’t treat you differently for asking. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, you can also complain to your local data protection authority, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom.
09Cookies and browser storage
The site keeps a few small items in your own browser, such as your compare list and last search, so it works the way you’d expect. It sets no advertising or analytics cookies. Our cookie policy lists each one and how to clear them.
10Security
Enquiries travel over an encrypted connection and are stored in a database that only our team can reach, behind a sign-in. No method of sending or storing information is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect yours and to limit who can see it.
11Children
The site is for adults considering an aircraft purchase. It isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
12Changes to this policy
If we change how we use information, for example by adding a new analytics tool, we’ll update this policy and the date at the top before the change takes effect, and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
13How to contact us
For anything about your information, reply to any email we’ve sent you, or send us a message through the enquiry form and mention it in the note. We will reply personally.
