MILAVIA collects two types of information; personal information and non-personal information.

- when you enter your name, contact information, and shipping address at PayPal for products you ordered in the MILAVIA Shop.
- when you take part in the monthly quiz, submitting your name, e-mail and location.
- when you have won the quiz prize and provide us your shipping address.
- when you subscribe to the newsletter, submitting your name and e-mail.
- when you communicate with us, your name and e-mail will be collected.

Non-Personal Information

MILAVIA collects non-personal information such as your browser type, the URL of the previous web site you visited, your ISP, operating system, and your IP Address. This information is collected in two ways, first by our server's access logs and secondly using third party statistics tools. To a limited extend similar information is collected by the Aviation Top 100 button. Non-personal information can not be used to identify you.
This information is used to track your use of the website for internal purposes, particularly providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving the website.

Financial Information

We do not collect your financial information, such as credit card number. Your financial information is solely being requested on industry-standard SSL secured connection by third parties such as PayPal or Amazon.com. MILAVIA is not reponsible for the way these parties collect, store, retrieve and use this information. As of now, MILAVIA is unable to offer this level of security, therefore no financial information is collected on this site. We use PayPal payment system instead. PayPal will keep your financial information secure and confidential, it will not be revealed to us.
