10. Keeping
your information secure
Austin AeroFlight is committed to protecting
the information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to
maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information,
Austin AeroFlight has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures
to safeguard the information we collect.
We use Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit
card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable
by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see either the
symbol of an unbroken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the
bottom of your browser window.
Credit card numbers are used only for
processing payment and are not used for other purposes. As part of real-time
payment processing, Austin AeroFlight subscribes to a fraud management
service. This service gives you and Austin AeroFlight an extra level of
security to guard against credit card fraud to protect your financial
data.

updates to the terms of Austin AeroFlight’s Online Privacy Statement, we will
post those changes and update the revision date in this document, so you will
always know what information we collect online, how we use it, and what choices
you have. For material changes to this Statement, Austin AeroFlight will
