Privacy Policy

Who we are

Trimble Aviation / Jerry Trimble Helicopters operates a flight-training school, aircraft maintenance shop, and a full-service fixed base operator (FBO) based in McMinnville, OR. This policy applies to trimbleaviation.com and the related domains we operate. It does not apply to third-party websites we link to.

Information we collect

Information you give us

When you submit our contact form, request information, or otherwise reach out, we collect the details you choose to provide. That typically includes your name, email address, and phone number, along with your preferred contact method, the best time to reach you, how you heard about us, the area you're interested in, and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information in server logs — such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, and the date and time of your request. This information helps us keep the site secure, diagnose problems, and understand general usage.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Your browser may store limited local data required for the site to function. Some third-party resources we load (described below) may set their own cookies or receive your IP address when your browser requests them.

Third-party services

To deliver the site and respond to inquiries, we rely on a small number of reputable service providers, each of which processes only the data needed for its function:

• Web hosting — stores the website files and records the server logs described above.
• Email delivery (MailJet) — when you submit the contact form, your message and contact details are transmitted through the MailJet email relay so they reach our inbox.
• Content delivery & fonts — our pages load fonts and small interface libraries from third-party networks (such as Google Fonts and jsDelivr). Your browser contacts those networks directly, which means they may receive your IP address.
• Live weather data — the FBO page displays current conditions at KMMV using a public weather API; only the airport's location is sent, not your personal information.
• Maps — some links open Google Maps in a new tab; those are governed by Google's own privacy policy.

How we use your information

• To respond to your questions and provide the information, quotes, or services you request;
• To schedule flights, training, maintenance, or FBO services;
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with the service providers listed above (to the extent needed to run the site and reply to you), when required by law or to respond to lawful requests, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our company, our customers, or the public.

Data retention

We keep contact-form submissions and related correspondence for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and maintain our normal business records, then dispose of them in accordance with our routine practices. Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a limited period.

Your choices and rights

You may request that we access, correct, or delete the personal information you have provided to us by contacting us using the details below, and we will respond as required by applicable law. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You can also opt out of future communications from us at any time by letting us know.

Data security

This site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we take reasonable measures to protect the information you submit. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the website after any change indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
