Legal Bases for Processing Personal Information
Five Star Flite collects, uses, and processes personal information only where we believe we have
an appropriate legal basis to do so under applicable law.
Depending upon your location and your interaction with our Services, those legal bases may
include:
● your consent;
● performance of a contract with you;
● compliance with legal obligations;
● protection of legitimate business interests; or
● other lawful grounds recognized under applicable law.
Where we rely upon your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, subject to legal
or contractual limitations and the rights of third parties.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent
was withdrawn.

How We Share Personal Information
Five Star Flite does not sell your personal information.
We also do not rent, lease, or trade your personal information to third parties for their
independent marketing purposes.
We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to operate our business,
provide our educational Services, comply with legal obligations, or protect our legitimate
interests.
Examples include disclosures to:
6.1 Technology Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party providers that help us operate our Website and Services.
These providers may include organizations providing:
● online learning platforms;
● payment processing;
● website hosting;
● cloud storage;
● cybersecurity;
● email delivery;
● analytics;
● customer support;
● communication tools; and
● related operational services.
These providers receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform the services they
provide on our behalf.
Whenever reasonably practical, we select providers that maintain commercially reasonable
privacy and security practices.
6.2 Payment Processing
Payments are processed through third-party payment processors such as Thinkific Payments
powered by Stripe or successor providers.
Five Star Flite does not store complete payment card numbers on its own systems.
Payment information is handled according to the privacy practices and security standards of the
applicable payment processor.
6.3 Legal Compliance
We may disclose personal information where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

● comply with subpoenas or court orders;
● protect our legal rights;
● investigate fraud;

● protect Participants;
● protect the public; or
● protect the security or integrity of our Services.
6.4 Business Transactions
If Five Star Flite undergoes a merger, acquisition, financing transaction, sale of assets,
restructuring, or similar business transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of
that transaction, subject to applicable law.
Any successor organization will be expected to honor this Privacy Policy or provide legally
required notice of any material changes.

Artificial Intelligence and Automated Operations
Five Star Flite may use artificial intelligence and other automated technologies to improve the
efficiency, quality, accessibility, and operation of our business and educational Services.
Examples may include:
● drafting customer support responses;
● organizing customer communications;
● improving educational content;
● summarizing feedback;
● identifying technical issues;
● enhancing Website functionality;
● improving search capabilities;
● analyzing aggregate usage patterns; and
● supporting internal business operations.
Where appropriate, AI-assisted processes are subject to human review and oversight.
We do not intentionally use artificial intelligence to make solely automated decisions that
produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning Participants without appropriate human
involvement where required by applicable law.
As our use of artificial intelligence evolves, we may update this Privacy Policy to reflect material
changes in our practices.

Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
● provide our Services;
● maintain Participant Accounts;
● comply with legal obligations;
● resolve disputes;
● enforce our agreements;
● maintain appropriate business records;
● improve our educational offerings; or
● otherwise support legitimate business operations.
The length of time information is retained depends upon factors including:
● the nature of the information;
● the purposes for which it was collected;
● applicable legal requirements;
● accounting obligations;
● tax requirements;
● dispute resolution needs; and
● other legitimate business considerations.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary for these purposes, we will take
commercially reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of that information,
unless retention is required or permitted by applicable law.

Data Security
Protecting personal information is important to Five Star Flite.
We maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards
designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or
destruction.
Examples of these safeguards may include:
● secure hosting environments;
● encrypted communications where appropriate;
● access controls;
● password protection;
● security monitoring;
● vendor due diligence;
● employee access limitations; and
● other commercially reasonable security practices.
No method of electronic transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely
secure.
Accordingly, while we strive to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute
security.
Participants also play an important role in protecting their information by maintaining secure
passwords, protecting their Account credentials, and promptly notifying us of suspected
unauthorized access.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending upon your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your
personal information.
Those rights may include the ability to:
● request access to your personal information;
● request correction of inaccurate information;
● request deletion of personal information;
● request restriction of certain processing activities;
● object to certain processing activities;
● request portability of certain personal information;
● withdraw consent where processing is based upon consent; and
● exercise other rights available under applicable privacy laws.
The availability of these rights varies depending upon your jurisdiction and the legal basis for
processing.
To exercise any applicable privacy rights, please contact us using the information provided at the
end of this Privacy Policy.
We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity before responding to
certain requests.
Where permitted by applicable law, we may decline requests that are manifestly unfounded,
excessive, repetitive, fraudulent, or otherwise not legally required.

Marketing Communications
If you choose to subscribe to newsletters, educational updates, or promotional communications,
Five Star Flite may send you information regarding:
● educational content;
● new Programs;
● upcoming events;
● webinars;
● resources;
● promotions; and
● other information related to our Services.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe
instructions contained within those communications or by contacting us directly.
Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may continue to send transactional or
administrative communications relating to your Account, purchases, customer support requests,
or other operational matters.

International Data Transfers
Five Star Flite is based in the United States. If you access our Website or Services from outside
the United States, your personal information may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in
the United States or in other countries where our service providers operate.
The privacy and data protection laws of those jurisdictions may differ from those in your country
of residence.
By using our Services, where permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge that your personal
information may be transferred internationally as described in this Privacy Policy.
Where required by applicable law, Five Star Flite will take commercially reasonable steps to
implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting that allows users to signal a
preference regarding online tracking.
Because there is currently no universally accepted standard governing how websites should
respond to DNT signals, Five Star Flite does not currently respond differently to such signals.
We may revisit this practice if an industry standard or applicable legal requirement is established
in the future.

Third-Party Websites and Services
Our Website, Programs, or communications may contain links to third-party websites,
applications, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by Five Star Flite.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices, content, or policies of those
third parties.
Your interactions with third-party websites or services are governed by the terms and privacy
policies of those third parties.
We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.

Children’s Privacy
Five Star Flite’s Services are intended for adults.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13).
If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in violation of
applicable law, we will take commercially reasonable steps to delete that information as
promptly as reasonably practicable.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Five Star Flite, please contact us
using the information provided below.

Five Star Flite may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:
● our educational Services;
● our business operations;
● applicable laws;
● technology;
● privacy practices; or
● other legitimate business needs.
When material changes are made, we will update the Last Updated date appearing at the
beginning of this Privacy Policy.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, revised versions become effective upon publication
on our Website.
Your continued use of the Website or Services following the effective date of a revised Privacy
Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated Privacy Policy.
If applicable law requires additional notice or consent before certain changes become effective,
Five Star Flite will comply with those legal requirements.
