Privacy Policy

At oneworld virtual, we take your privacy seriously and personal information we collect will be used to improve your and other pilot's experience.

To register for an oneworld virtual account we require you to provide a name or alias, a country/territory and a valid, verifiable e-mail address. Pilots may voluntarily provide additional information, such as VATSIM PID, IVAO VID and Discord account. Your IP address will also be collected.

Data usage

Your name and territory will be displayed on your profile page, as well as on other pages on our website which display pilot information. As such, this data must be regarded as public. We do not require you to use your real name or territory.

We use your e-mail address to contact you about activity on the website. These include e-mail address confirmation, password reset requests and if enabled, flight and message notifications. It can also be used to send important oneworld virtual updates to our pilots. Your e-mail address will never be displayed publicly, but it will be shared with our e-mail provider, Mailgun, for them to be able to send e-mails to you. It can also be seen by authorized staff members, who will only use it to provide critical updates to pilots. In the privacy settings of your profile, you can opt out of non-critical e-mails.

Your VATSIM PID will be shared with VATSIM if provided. VATSIM will use this information to check whether oneworld virtual has reached the number of pilots required to be a registered Virtual Airline. VATSIM's privacy policy can be found on https://www.vatsim.net/documents/privacy-policy.

Your IVAO VID will be shared with IVAO if provided. IVAO will use this information to check whether oneworld virtual has reached the number of pilots required to be a registered Virtual Airline. IVAO's rules and regulations can be found on https://www.ivao.aero/IVAO_Rules_Regulations_2018.pdf.

Your Discord account details will be shared with Discord if provided. These will be used to update your role on our server to provide a better experience for everyone on our server. Discord's privacy policy can be found on https://discordapp.com/privacy.

Your IP address will also be collected by our web server logs, to monitor access and track down errors to individual users.
