Privacy Policy
How Electron Flight LLC handles your information when you visit electronflight.com or send us a message. Plain English, no surprises.
We collect little
Only what you send us through the contact form and basic technical data from your browser.
We never sell it
We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with the services that run our analytics and website.
1. Who we are
This website is run by Electron Flight LLC, Red Lion, Pennsylvania 17356, USA ("Electron Flight", "we", "us"). We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy (under the GDPR and UK GDPR we are the "controller").
Questions or requests about your data: email info@electronflight.com.
2. What we collect
Messages you send us
When you use our contact form we receive your name, email address and message. The form sends them to our email inbox so we can reply.
Visit statistics
We use Umami, a cookieless analytics service, to count page views and see which pages are popular. It doesn't set cookies, and we use it only for overall site statistics.
We also use Google Analytics to see how visitors use the site, such as which pages they view and how they found us. It uses cookies only with your consent (or by default outside Europe, see Cookies). See the Google Privacy Policy.
Server logs
Like most websites, our web server (hosted by HostGator) automatically records technical data for each request: your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the referring page, and the date and time. We use these logs to keep the site secure and working.
3. Why we use it (and legal bases)
For visitors in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, the GDPR and UK GDPR require us to have a legal basis for each use:
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Answering your messages and questions | Our legitimate interest in responding to you |
| Keeping the website secure and working (server logs) and counting visits | Our legitimate interest in running a safe, reliable website |
| Google Analytics cookies for site statistics | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time |
| Keeping business and tax records | Compliance with our legal obligations |
4. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the business:
- HostGator: hosts this website and its server logs.
- Umami: cookieless visit statistics.
- Google Analytics: site usage statistics (Google Privacy Policy).
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
5. Cookies and your choices
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar tools, like your browser's local storage, work the same way. We use two kinds:
| Type | What it does | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Your cookie choice itself, saved in your browser's local storage (not a cookie). | No. It's needed to remember your choice, so we don't ask first. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics cookies that count visits and show how people use the site. | Yes. See below. |
Visitors in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland
Analytics cookies are off by default. We show a banner where you can Accept or Reject them. If you reject or don't choose, Google Analytics sets no cookies. Your choice stays in your browser until you clear it or change it.
Visitors elsewhere
Analytics cookies are on by default. You can turn them off with the button below or in your browser settings.
Change your choice
Use this button at any time to reopen the cookie banner and accept or reject analytics cookies:
Do Not Track: there's no agreed standard for browser "Do Not Track" signals, so our site doesn't respond to them. Use the choices above instead.
6. International transfers
Electron Flight is based in the United States, and our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. If you're outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US, where data protection laws may differ from yours. Where the law requires, our providers use recognized safeguards for these transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, as described in their own privacy policies.
7. How long we keep it
- Messages: as long as needed to answer you and keep a record of our conversation, then deleted.
- Business records: as long as needed to meet tax, accounting and other legal requirements.
- Server logs: kept by our host for a limited time for security and troubleshooting.
- Your cookie choice: stored in your browser until you clear it or change it.
- Google Analytics cookies: kept for the periods set by Google, as described in Google's policies.
8. Your rights
EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland
You have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy;

- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw your consent at any time (for cookies, use the Cookie settings button), without affecting what we did before you withdrew;

California and other US states
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, to access it, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale. We don't sell personal information. We won't treat you differently for using your privacy rights.
