We do this to ensure that we are offering you the best products and services in a secure environment, and as part of our efforts to constantly improve your experience. In this process, we may collect and use your personal information relating to your purchasing trends at AeroCourse, and technical details about your browser and mobile device use (e.g., whether you are using a tablet or smartphone to visit our websites) or viewing and usage trends in order to analyze and offer you the most appropriate products and services.
- INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OTHER SOURCES. We also collect information that is publicly available, to the extent permitted by applicable law. For example, we may collect information you submit to a blog, a chat room, or a social network.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
AeroCourse makes reasonable efforts to ensure that any personal information you provide is maintained in a secure environment. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, AeroCourse cannot warrant the security of any personal information you transmit to us or from our on-line services, and you do so at your own risk.
AeroCourse has implemented and maintains reasonable and appropriate security measures, procedures, and practices to protect against the loss and unauthorized access, use, modification, destruction, or disclosure of your personal information while it is in our custody or under our control. For example, we use SSL encryption, firewalls, anti-virus, and system security monitoring.
We also limit access to your personal information to those employees, contractors and agents who have a business need to know.
STORING AND PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION
Your personal information is stored and processed on servers owned by AeroCourse and other companies in Canada and may in some cases be transferred to other countries. Where your information is transferred outside of Canada, it may be available to government authorities under lawful orders and laws applicable in those countries. Regardless of where your information is processed and regardless of the company or person who processes your information on our behalf, we will take steps to protect your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.
