Collection and Use of Personal Information

What is “Personal Information”

  1. whether the information or opinion is true or not; and

  2. whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

If information does not disclose your identity or enable your identity to be ascertained, it will in most cases not be classified as “personal information” and will not be subject to this privacy policy.

It is usually optional for you to supply sensitive information.

You don’t have to give us the information requested. However, if you do not provide us with some or all of the personal information requested, we may not be able to provide you with our Services or satisfy your request, to the requested standard or at all, and you may also miss out on receiving valuable information about Pacific Airshow or our Services.
