Last updated: 1 November 2026. This page explains what happens to information about you when you use airshowguide.com. In short: we do not ask for your name or e-mail, there are no accounts, and Google Analytics runs only if you accept it.
Who is responsible
Airshow Guide (airshowguide.com) – e-mail info@airshowguide.com. Airshow Guide is the controller of personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What we collect and why
- Server logs. Like every website, our web server records technical data for each request: IP address, date and time, the page asked for, browser and referring page. We use them only to keep the site running and secure (legal basis: legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). They are kept by our web host for a short period and then deleted automatically.
- E-mails you send us. If you write to info@airshowguide.com, we use your address and message only to answer and to check a correction you report (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We delete them within 12 months unless the law requires us to keep them.
- Nothing else. We have no user accounts, newsletters, comments or third-party advertising trackers – analytics only with your consent (below). Our own ad box for visitors in the United States is described under Interest-based ads and offers below.
What stays on your own device
“Add to my calendar”, your packing-list ticks, your recent searches and the parking spot you save are kept in your browser’s storage on your device – they are never sent to us. The parking spot uses your phone’s location only when you press “Save where I parked”. To work without signal, the site also keeps copies of the pages of your saved shows on your device. You can delete them at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser. Your cookie choice is kept there too.
The calendar links you can add to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar contain only the codes of the shows you chose, not anything about you.
Google Analytics – only with your consent
If you press Accept in the cookie bar, we load Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are useful. It sets cookies (_ga, _ga_*) for up to 2 years and sends Google your IP address, device and browser details and the pages you view; Google may process this in the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). If you press Decline – or do nothing – Google Analytics is not loaded at all. You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Other services – only when you use them
- Amazon and Booking.com (affiliate links, see the affiliate disclosure): when you click, you leave our site and their privacy policies apply; they may use cookies to credit us with a commission.
- Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Google Maps, Waze: open only when you press their buttons; your device then talks to them directly.
- OpenStreetMap: the map on a show page loads map tiles from OpenStreetMap servers only after you press “Show map”, which shares your IP address with them.
- Fonts and photos are served from our own server. Weather forecasts are fetched by our server from the U.S. National Weather Service – no data about you is sent.
Hosting and transfers
The site is hosted by HostArmada; the server is in the United States. Our host processes the server logs on our behalf under its data processing terms, which include the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for transfers outside the EU.
Your rights
You can ask us for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest – write to info@airshowguide.com. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority, for example the one where you live.
Children
The site is for a general audience and does not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
If we add something that collects personal data – for example accounts or e-mail reminders – we will update this page first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
Interest-based ads and offers
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Links marked “Ad” or “Paid links” are affiliate links: we may earn a commission from Amazon, other stores (through Awin, CJ and Admitad) and Booking.com, at no extra cost to you. Store prices and coupons come from the store and can change; the store’s checkout shows the final price.
Our pages show links to Amazon, to other partner stores (through the Awin, CJ and Admitad affiliate networks), to Booking.com, and to our sister sites (OutdoorPricer, Campground Planner, Airshow Guide and CampingSolar). For visitors in the United States, a script on this site keeps a small record in your browser’s storage (local storage, which works like a cookie) so it can choose more relevant ones: the topics of the pages you read here, which of these links you clicked, how many times you saw each one, and your U.S. state, worked out from your IP address. We use this for advertising: to show ads and offers that match your interests and to avoid showing you the same ones again and again.
The record stays in your browser. We do not store your IP address, we do not sell this information, and we do not share it with the stores or anyone else. Our server keeps only totals of how often each ad was shown and clicked, by U.S. state. Our sister sites use these totals too, and they do not identify you.
You can turn this off at any time: Do not personalize ads (also in the notice shown on your first visit). This deletes the record. We also treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as an opt-out. Visitors in Canada get this record only after they choose “Allow personalized ads”; visitors elsewhere outside the United States do not get it. Partner banners (picture ads, including the small ad bar that can appear at the bottom of the screen) are loaded from the CJ affiliate network’s servers, which receive your IP address and may set their own cookies to count views and clicks. When you click through to a store, that store and its affiliate network may set their own cookies to credit us with the sale. Their privacy policies apply.
