You may also unsubscribe from marketing communications by clicking the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom of EASA emails.

Where required by the applicable law (for example if you are an EU Data Subject), EASA will send marketing information only with your consent, which was given at the time you provided us with the Personal Data. In such case, if you do not provide us with your consent to the processing of your Personal Data for this purpose, we will not send you this information. With your permission, we may also use the information you provide to use as a testimonial posted on the website.

If you correspond with EASA via email, the postal service, web forms or another form of communication, EASA may retain the correspondence and the information it contains. EASA may use the information for business purposes, including responding to your inquiry and notifying you of EASA opportunities.

URL & IP address

EASA collects information about users’ IP addresses, including users’ utilization of our website, to help EASA design its website to better suit users’ needs. EASA may use information about your IP address to help diagnose problems with its server, administer its websites, analyze trends, track visitor behavior and gather information that assists in identifying visitor preferences.

EASA may use your IP address to enhance security and investigate an actual or potential security incident. For EU Data Subjects, this use of your information is necessary for EASA’s legitimate interests in understanding how the website and services are being used by you, to improve your experience and to ensure network and information security.

Aggregated data

EASA may also compile, anonymize and/or aggregate Personal Data and other information collected about website visitors and use such data for business purposes. This aggregate information does not identify you.

Disclosure of information

EASA discloses collected Personal Data in accordance with the terms set forth in this section.

EASA shares your Personal Data with third parties that provide certain services to assist us in meeting business operation needs. These parties are authorized to process your Personal Data on EASA’s behalf and pursuant to EASA’s instructions, only as necessary to provide these services. Your Personal Data is shared with the following service providers:

If EASA is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale or transition of service to another provider, your Personal Data and other information may be transferred to a successor of an affiliate as part of that transaction along with other assets.

EASA collects, stores and processes the information in the U.S. If you are outside the U.S., your Personal Data and other information will be transferred to the U.S. The data privacy and data protection laws outside your country may offer less protection than the laws in your country.

How you can access and change information

EASA acknowledges that you have the right to access your Personal Data. 

On the EASA website, at My Account, which requires you to use your login and password, you may access and edit your Personal Data and marketing communication preferences directly.

If you are an EU Data Subject, please see the “EU Data Subjects” section below for information on your rights in relation to the Personal Data we hold about you.

EU Data Subjects

This section applies if you are a citizen of the European Union (“EU,” “EU Data Subject”). For these purposes, the reference to the EU also includes the European Economic Area countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway and, where applicable, Switzerland.

EASA, Inc. is the data controller for the processing of your Personal Data.

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data:

• Right of access: If you ask, EASA will confirm whether it is processing your Personal Data and if so, provide you with a copy of that Personal Data (along with certain other details).
• Right to rectification: If your Personal Data is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to have it rectified or completed. If EASA has shared your Personal Data with others, EASA will tell them about the rectification where possible. If you ask, where possible and lawful to do so, EASA will also tell you with whom we shared your Personal Data so that you can contact them directly.
• Right to erasure: You may ask EASA to delete or remove your Personal Data and EASA will do so. If EASA has shared your data with others, EASA will tell them about the erasure where possible. If you ask, EASA will also tell you with whom your Personal Data was shared so that you can contact them directly.
• Right to restrict processing: You may ask EASA to restrict or ‘block’ the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of that Personal Data or object to us processing it. EASA will tell you before it lifts any restriction on processing. If EASA has shared your Personal Data with others, EASA will tell them about the restriction where possible. If you ask, EASA will also tell you with whom your Personal Data was shared so that you can contact them directly.
• Right to data portability: Effective 25 May 2018, you have the right to obtain your Personal Data that you consented to give or that is necessary to perform a contract with you. EASA will give you your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You may reuse it elsewhere.
• Right to object: You may ask EASA at any time to stop processing your Personal Data, and it will do so, as EASA relies on a legitimate interest to process your Personal Data — unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, or if EASA is processing your Personal Data for direct marketing.
• Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling: You have the right to be free from decisions based solely on automated processing of your Personal Data, including profiling, that affect you, unless such processing is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and EASA or you provide your explicit consent to such processing.
• Right to withdraw consent: If EASA relies on your consent to process your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your prior consent.
• Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority: If you have a concern about EASA’s privacy practices, including the way EASA has handled your Personal Data, you can report it to the data protection authority that is authorized to hear those concerns.

 You may exercise your rights by contacting us at datarequest@7672049.com.

Legitimate Interest: EASA’s processing of your data is necessary in order to deliver products and services to you. Membership, event registration or attendance and product purchase constitute a contract between the Data Subject and EASA. EASA uses data in ways individuals would reasonably expect and have minimal privacy impact. Nonmembers opting into receiving content provide their consent to EASA to process their Personal Data. Nonmembers who are citizens of the EU have the same rights to their Personal Data as members.

We do not request nor do we use social security numbers in the course of our business with our members or the public.
