What we collect

What you give us

• Requests and messages: your name, email, phone number and the details you send us through our contact, charter, special request and creator forms.
• Newsletter: your email address, if you subscribe.
• Bookings: the names, contact details and passenger weights we need to book and safely plan your flight, plus payment details. Online bookings and payments are handled by our booking provider, TripWorks; we don't see or store your full card number.

What we collect automatically

When you visit, our site and the services below use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as the pages you view, how you arrived, your browser and device type, your approximate location based on your IP address, and whether you booked after seeing one of our ads.

Cookies and similar technologies

Type	Provider	What it does
Essential	Palm Springs Helicopter Tours, TripWorks	Remembers your privacy choices and keeps the booking window working. These can't be turned off.
Analytics	Google Analytics	Counts visits and shows us which pages people use and how they found us, so we can improve the site.
Advertising	Meta Pixel, Google Ads	Measures whether our ads lead to visits and bookings, and lets Meta and Google show you our ads on other sites.

The booking window that opens when you select Book now is provided by TripWorks and uses the same analytics and advertising tools to record completed bookings. The photos in our Instagram section are loaded from our Instagram feed provider, Behold.

Your choices

• Opt out of cookies: use Your Privacy Choices, also linked at the bottom of every page, to turn analytics or advertising cookies off. Your choice is saved in your browser, so clearing your cookies or switching devices resets it.
• Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of advertising cookies and honor it automatically. We don't respond to other "Do Not Track" signals.
• Emails: to stop getting our newsletter, call us or tell us through our contact form.
• Ad settings: you can also manage ads in your Meta ad preferences (opens in a new tab) and Google My Ad Center (opens in a new tab).

How we use information

• To answer your requests, book and run your flight, and plan each flight's weight and balance safely.
• To send our newsletter, if you subscribed.
• To understand how the site is used and improve it.
• To measure and improve our advertising.
• To keep records the law requires, and to protect our business and our guests.

Who we share it with

We share information only with the companies that help us run the business: our website host (Netlify, which also receives our site forms), our form provider for creator applications (Tally), our booking and payment provider (TripWorks and its payment processors), our email provider, and the analytics and advertising services listed above. We don't sell your information for money. Under California law, letting advertising partners like Meta and Google collect information through cookies for targeted advertising can count as "sharing", which is why you can opt out. We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

Your California privacy rights

If you live in California, you have the right to:

• know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, and get a copy of it;
• ask us to correct or delete it;
• opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, including for targeted advertising (use Your Privacy Choices);
• not be treated differently for using any of these rights.

To make a request, call (760) 528-8676 or send it through our contact form. We'll confirm your identity before acting on it, usually by matching the contact details we already have. You can also have an authorized agent make a request for you.

How long we keep it

We keep booking and flight records for as long as we need them to provide our services and meet our legal, tax and aviation record-keeping obligations. We keep form messages and newsletter subscriptions until they're no longer needed or you ask us to delete them.

Children

Children are welcome on our flights with an adult, but this site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information online.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll post the new version here and update the date at the top.
