Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit Georgeiv.net, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We keep it in plain language so it is easy to understand.
01Who we are
Georgeiv.net is an independent information website that publishes guides, analysis and news about air freight and air cargo. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Georgeiv.net, and "you" refers to anyone who visits or uses the website at georgeiv.net.
We are responsible for the personal information collected through this website. If you have any questions about how we handle it, you can contact us using the details at the end of this page.
02Information we collect
We collect only the information we need to run the website and respond to you. This falls into two groups.
- Information you give us. When you use our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address, the topic you choose and the content of your message.
- Information collected automatically. When you browse the website, we and our service providers may collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages and the website that referred you.
We do not ask for, and ask you not to send, sensitive information such as payment details, government identification numbers or health information.
03How we use your information
We use your information to:
- reply to questions, corrections and feedback you send us
- operate, maintain and secure the website
- understand which articles are useful so we can improve and update our coverage
- detect and prevent spam, abuse and security incidents
- meet our legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
06How long we keep information
We keep messages sent through our contact form or by email for up to 24 months so we can follow up on questions and track corrections. Analytics data is kept in aggregated form. We delete or anonymise personal information when we no longer need it for these purposes, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.
07Keeping your information secure
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls and regular software updates. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
08Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
- ask us to delete your personal information
- object to or limit how we use your information
- make a complaint to your local data protection or privacy authority
To make a request, email hello@georgeiv.net. We may need to confirm your identity before we act on it, and we will respond within 30 days.
09Third-party websites and social media
Our articles may link to airlines, regulators, forwarders and other external websites, and we maintain pages on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. These services have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they collect or use your information. Please review their policies before sharing personal information with them.
10Children's privacy
Georgeiv.net is written for adults working in or buying logistics services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
11Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our practices or legal requirements change. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. If we make significant changes, we will highlight them on this page.
