1.1.2 Cookies
Cookies may be placed on your computer or internet-enabled device whenever you visit the Sites. This allows the Sites to remember your computer or device and serves a number of purposes.
On some of our Sites, a notification banner will appear requiring your consent to collect cookies. If you do not provide consent, your computer or internet-enabled device will not be tracked for marketing-related activities. A secondary type of cookie referred to as “user-input” cookies may still be required for necessary functionality. Such cookies will not be blocked through the use of this notification banner. If you wish to revoke your selection, you may do so by clearing your browser’s cookies.

The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the Sites or to other web analytics services.

Drone Arrival or its service providers may use web beacons to track the effectiveness of third party web sites that provide us with recruiting or marketing services or to gather aggregate visitor statistics and manage cookies.

2. Sharing and transfer of PII
Personal data collected by Sites may be transferred from time to time to Drone Arrival affiliates and their personnel, as well as to our third party service providers located throughout the world, including in countries where the local law may grant you fewer rights than you have in your own country. Additionally, the information may be viewed and hosted by Drone Arrival and our third party service providers anywhere in the world.
Drone Arrival will not intentionally disclose or transfer (and will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized or accidental disclosure of) your personal data to third parties without your consent, whether for such third parties’ own marketing purposes or otherwise, except as follows. Drone Arrival may provide access to your personal data to third party service providers engaged by Drone Arrival to provide services related to Sites, provided that such third- party service providers will first agree to maintain the strict confidentiality of such information and provide the same level of data security as provided by Drone Arrival.
We also may share your personal data with third party service providers who perform services and functions on our behalf to support our interactions with you, including, for example, administering surveys or contests, event planning, or communicating with you. These third party service providers are not permitted to use or disclose your personal data except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.
In addition, we may disclose information about you:
• If we are required to do so by law or legal process;
• To law enforcement authorities or other government officials;
• When we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity;
• If disclosure is necessary to protect the vital interests of a person;
• To enforce our Terms of use;
• To protect our property, services and legal rights;
• To prevent fraud against Drone Arrival, our affiliates and/or business partners; or

In addition, we may disclose or transfer your personal data in the event of a re-organization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, or other transfer or disposition of all or any portion of our business.
Drone Arrival does not sell PII to any third parties. Also, Drone Arrival will not transfer the PII you provide to any third parties for their own direct marketing use.
Drone Arrival and our service providers may use personal information in an aggregated, anonymized form for research and development. This data does not identify you individually, but rather helps to identify trends in user preferences and behaviors. In addition, we may share de-identified reports on user demographics and traffic patterns, as well as de-identified information, with third parties.
3. Choices
We may require you to provide certain PII in order for you to receive additional information about our products, services, and events. Drone Arrival may also ask for your permission for certain uses of your PII, and you can agree to or decline those uses. If you opt-in for particular services or communications, such as an e-newsletter, you will be able to unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions included in each communication. If you decide to unsubscribe from a service or communication, we will try to remove your information promptly, although we may require additional information before we can process your request.
As described in “Cookies” section above, if you wish to prevent cookies from tracking you as you navigate our sites, you may be able to do so by changing your browser settings. Note, however, that some portions of the Sites may not work properly if you elect to refuse cookies.
4. Access
If you have submitted personal information to Drone Arrival, under most circumstances you have the right to reasonable access to that data to correct any inaccuracies. You can also make a request to update or remove information about you and we will make all reasonable and practical efforts to comply with your request, so long as it is consistent with applicable law and professional standards. To request access to or correction, updating, or removal of your personal information please contact us.
5. Data security and integrity
Drone Arrival has and requires its service providers to have security policies and procedures in place to help protect personal information from unauthorized loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Despite Drone Arrival efforts, however, security cannot be guaranteed against all threats. We seek to limit access to your personal information to those who have a need to know. Those individuals who have access to the data are required to maintain the confidentiality of such information. We also make efforts to retain personal information only for so long as the information is needed for our professional, marketing or analytic purposes or to comply with an individual’s request, or until that person asks that the information be deleted.
6. Links to other sites
Please be aware that the Sites may contain links to other sites, including sites that are not governed by this Privacy Statement but by other privacy statements that may differ. Drone Arrival is not responsible for the content or practices of these sites. We encourage users to review the privacy policy of each site visited before disclosing any personal information.
7. Changes to this statement
Drone Arrival may modify this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect our current privacy practices. When we make changes to this statement, we will revise the “updated” date at the top of this page.
