By accessing or using the Site, you represent and warrant that you consent to WHM’s Terms of Use and have received notice of our privacy practices regarding WHM’s collection, storage and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

 Information We Collect

“Personal information” is information that can personally identify you, such as your name or email address. Personal information also includes other data that can reasonably be linked to your personally identifiable information. You can directly or indirectly provide your personal information through your use of the Site. The following describes the types of personal information we may collect:

  1. Contact Information: WHM collects and stores contact information you provide in connection with any forms on the Site (for example, first name, last name, phone number, and email address). We also collect this information when you purchase tickets to the museum.
  2. Browsers and devices: WHM collects certain information about the browsers and devices you use to access the Site, including unique identifiers. Unique identifiers are cookie files used to uniquely identify a browser or device. Please see the section below on “Cookies” for more information.
  3. IP address: WHM collects your Internet Protocol (IP) address whenever you access the Site, which is a number automatically assigned to your computer or device when you browse the internet. These numbers are usually assigned based on geography, so an IP address can often be used to identify the general geographic area of where a device is connecting to the internet. WHM uses your IP address to administer and address technical issues with the Site. You may be able to disallow certain location data through your device or browser settings.
  4. Use Statistics: WHM collects information about how your browsers and devices interact with the Site, including crash reports, system activity, and the date, time and referrer URL (the webpage you came from if you clicked a link to access the Site). WHM also collects statistical information about visitor activity on the Site, including web traffic, and the date, time, duration, and number of visits.
  5. Submissions: WHM may store any messages, content, feedback, and other submissions you provide through the Site or to WHM or FHCAM, whether directly or by using a third-party service (collectively, “Submissions”). If you provide any Submissions, you are solely responsible for its contents and any personal information you may disclose therein. Providing any Submissions is at your own risk. WHM does not knowingly collect or monitor Submissions for personal information and may use Submissions in any manner without any obligation, notice or liability to you. If WHM discovers it has received any personal information in error, it will take steps to delete the data as soon as possible without notice. Please note: we do not accept any proposal concerning film production, film/TV scripts or concept papers, themed amusement parks or restaurants, music acts, record companies or studios.
  6. Purchases: Additionally, when you purchase tickets, you may be directed to payment processing through Shopify, Inc., (“Shopify”). Shopify collects, uses, and processes your information, including payment information, in accordance with its privacy notice. For additional information on the privacy practices of Shopify, please see the Shopify privacy notice available at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.

Cookies

“Cookies” are small pieces of data (text files) that are stored in the web browser on your device in order to remember information about you. Cookies are used to compile anonymous, aggregate statistics-based information collected through the Site (“Aggregate Data”). WHM uses cookies to administer and operate the Site, including site configuration and IT security. WHM uses both “first party cookies” (cookies set by WHM) and “third party cookies” (cookies from another domain) as follows:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. “Strictly Necessary Cookies” are cookies that are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. We use Strictly Necessary Cookies to manage actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site will not function properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • Performance Cookies. “Performance Cookies” are cookies that allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of the Site. They help us know how Site visitors move around the Site. Performance Cookies collect Aggregate Data.
  • Functional Cookies. “Functional Cookies” enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. Functional Cookies may be set by us or third-party providers whose services we have added to the Site’s webpages.
  • Tags. We use third party JavaScript tags (code elements), to set the Performance Cookies.

We also use Google Analytics, a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Site. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Site available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.

 

For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

 

You can use ad settings to manage the Google ads you see and turn off personalized ads. Even if you turn off personalized ads, you may still see ads based on factors such as your general location derived from your IP address, your browser type, and your search terms.

 

In order to provide the Site, WHM may use and share Aggregate Data collected through the cookies with third parties. Please see the section below on “Managing Your Information” for ways to manage how your information is shared via Google Web Tools.

 

How Your Information is Used

Please see below on the circumstances where WHM may share your personal information with others without further notice, obligation or liability to you:

  1. Service Providers: WHM may use third party providers to provide or support some of the services that are available through the Site, including without limitation, communications and hosting services, network security, technical and user support, tracking and reporting, quality assurance testing, and other functions. WHM may share your information with these third-party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests. These third-party providers may share information with WHM that they obtain from or about you in connection with providing their services or completing your requests. Third party providers may also share this information with their related entities, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control.
  2. Business Transfers: WHM may share your information with its affiliated entities, prospective buyers, partners or joint ventures, in which case WHM will require them to honor this Privacy Policy. If another company acquires WHM or all or substantially all of its assets (e.g. merger, acquisition or sale), that company will possess the same information, and will assume the rights and obligations with respect to that information as described in this Privacy Policy.
  3. Investigations: WHM may investigate and disclose your personal information if it has a good faith belief that such disclosure (a) is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process and law enforcement instructions and orders, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, judicial proceeding, or other legal process served on WHM; (b) is helpful to prevent, investigate, or identify possible fraud wrongdoing in connection with the Site; (c) is necessary to act under exigent circumstances to protect the safety of the public or users of the Site, or (d) is reasonably necessary to protect WHM’s rights, reputation, property, or that of its users, affiliates, partners or the public.
  4. Links: The Site may contain links to unaffiliated third-party services, such as ticketing vendors or job application resources. If you visit any websites through those links, the collection and use of your information will be subject to such third party’s terms and privacy policy. Unless there is a separate basis for sharing your information as expressly set forth in this Privacy Policy, WHM will not share your personal information with these third parties and is not responsible for their privacy practices. WHM will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred as a result of accessing or using any third-party links through the Site.

 Managing Your Information

Cookie settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. If you change your settings to opt out of receiving cookies, it will not retroactively delete or remove any previously collected information, but it will prevent your information from being shared through such cookies from that point on.

 

Third party tools. Third parties have also developed mechanisms for opting out of various cookies that use and share information collected from Google Web Tools and other sources for advertising purposes. For US-based users, the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices is a tool that enables you to view and manage the cookies used for online advertising. For EU-based users, there is Your Online Choices.

 

Compliance

Information collected from the Site will be stored and processed in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and visit the Site, you permit us to transfer your information outside of your country.

 

Security

WHM is committed to protecting the security of your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, devices, or cloud or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, WHM cannot guarantee its absolute security.

 

Personal Information of Children

Site is intended for a general audience, and WHM does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided WHM with personal information without parental consent, please contact us at info@flyingheritage.org. If WHM becomes aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information without parental consent, WHM will take steps to delete such data as soon as possible without notice.

(“WHM”), which owns and operates the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum (the “Museum”); all of WHM’s affiliates; and all of WHM’s and its affiliates’ owners, managers, officers, directors, members, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the "Releasees").

 

Releasor desires to enter, tour, and participate in the activities offered by and at the Museum. The Museum features, among other things, aircraft, automobiles, motor vehicles, and other military equipment (the “Vehicles”), and in some instances, may allow guests the opportunity sit or ride in the Vehicles or observe technicians working on Vehicle engines or other parts. In consideration for Releasor being permitted by WHM to tour the Museum and participate in the activities offered by the Museum, Releasor hereby freely and voluntarily agrees to the following representations, waivers, and agreements:

 

1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. I am aware that touring the Museum and participating in the activities offered by the Museum, including those described above (collectively, “Touring”) involve many risks, dangers, and hazards which could result in injury, death, illness or disease to myself or others or damage to property belonging to me or others, including, but not limited to: falling objects; explosions; exposure to hazardous substances; contact with heavy or otherwise dangerous objects; Vehicle collisions, crashes, or other accidents; negligence on the part of other Museum guests; and NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES, INCLUDING THE FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES TO SAFEGUARD OR PROTECT ME FROM THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS OF TOURING.

I AM AWARE OF THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH TOURING AND I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOSS RESULTING THEREFROM.

 

2. RELEASE. Being fully aware of the risks, dangers, and hazards associated with Touring, on behalf of myself, and my heirs, next of kin, distributees, conservators, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees and successors-in-interest, I WAIVE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE RELEASEES, AND EACH OF THEM, FROM ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, DEMANDS, RIGHTS, CAUSES OF ACTION, AND LIABILITIES, EITHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, AND INCLUDING THOSE RESULTING FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES, based on any bodily injury, disability, illness, disease, death, financial loss, property loss, damage, or destruction, or other harm of whatever nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that may be sustained or suffered by me or by any other person as a direct or indirect consequence of my Touring, whether caused by the negligence of any of the Releasees or otherwise.

 

3. INDEMNIFICATION. I AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH OF THE RELEASEES from and against any and all claims, suits, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees) arising from or in connection with either my injury, illness, or death or that of any other person, or the damage, destruction, or loss of any of my or any other person’s property, as a result of my Touring.

 

4. MISCELLANEOUS. This Release shall be effective and binding upon my heirs, next of kin, distributees, conservators, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees and successors-in-interest, in the event of my death or incapacity. This Release will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without any reference to its choice of law rules. If one or more provisions of this Release are held to be unenforceable, each such unenforceable provision shall be excluded from this Release, and the remainder of the provisions herein will remain in full force and effect. If WHM is or I am required to utilize legal action to enforce its rights under this Release, the non-prevailing party shall be responsible for the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in the enforcement of its rights under this Release, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, in the event of any litigation arising out of this Release.

 

I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS RELEASE AND (i) SIGN IT FREELY, VOLUNTARILY, AND WITH KNOWLEDGE OF ITS CONTENTS AND (ii) AGREE TO TOUR THE MUSEUM AND PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES OFFERED BY THE MUSEUM. I AM AWARE THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I AM WAIVING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH I OR MY HEIRS, NEXT OF KIN, DISTRIBUTEES, CONSERVATORS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES, ASSIGNEES OR SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST MAY HAVE AGAINST THE RELEASEES.
