Effective Date: July 31, 2026
The Middletown Aviation Foundation ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Hops in the Hangar mobile application (the "App"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our App and the choices you have associated with that data.
1. Information Collection and Use
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our service to you.
Types of Data Collected:
Usage Data
We may collect information on how the App is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data is collected via Firebase Analytics and may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address), device type, operating system version, the pages of our App that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.
Favorites and Local Storage
The App allows you to "favorite" vendors and performers. This information is stored locally on your device using Android Jetpack DataStore. We do not transmit this specific "favorites" list to our servers, though aggregate interaction data (e.g., "how many times a vendor was clicked") may be collected via Analytics.
2. Use of Data
We use the collected data for various purposes:
- To provide and maintain the App.
- To notify you about changes to our App.
- To provide customer care and support.
- To provide analysis or valuable information so that we can improve the App.
- To monitor the usage of the App.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.
3. Third-Party Services
We use third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of our App.
Google Analytics for Firebase
Google Analytics for Firebase is an analytics service provided by Google Inc. You may opt-out of certain Firebase features through your mobile device settings, such as your device advertising settings. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: [https://policies.google.com/privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
External Links
Our App contains links to other sites that are not operated by us (e.g., TicketSpice for ticket purchases, sponsor websites). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
4. Security of Data
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
5. Children's Privacy
Our App does not address anyone under the age of 18 ("Children") without parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "effective date" at the top.
