This website (the "Site") is operated by BusinessJet.com, a division
of BusinessJet.com, LLC ("BusinessJet.com"). The Privacy Statement
(the "Statement") that follows describes BusinessJet.com's collection,
use and disclosure of information practices in connection with the
Site. This Statement applies to the national version of the Site,
located at www.BusinessJet.com, as well as to any versions of the
Site that BusinessJet.com co-brands with its newspaper and broadcast
affiliates and other distribution partners (collectively, "Affiliates").
For example, you may have arrived at a co-branded version of the
Site from an Affiliate's website, in which case, that Affiliate
will be clearly identified at the top of the home page of this Site.
In this Statement BusinessJet.com refers to those versions of the
Site as "Affiliate Versions." Please be aware that an Affiliate
Version is customized by BusinessJet.com for the Affiliate, with
whom BusinessJet.com may share any information you submit through
this Site, as described below. During your visit to any Affiliate
Version, the Affiliate may independently collect other information
from you.
This Statement does not describe BusinessJet.com's collection,
use and disclosure of information through means other than this
Site (e.g., off-line) or the collection, use and disclosure practices
of any Affiliate or other third party. For information on the privacy
policy applicable to an Affiliate's information collection, use
and disclosure practices, please review the privacy policy on the
applicable Affiliate's website. Also, please note that this Site
contains links to other websites. BusinessJet.com and its Affiliates
are not responsible for the websites, content or privacy practices
of any third party. By using this Site, you acknowledge that you
have read this Statement and agree that you are subject to the BusinessJet.com
Terms of Service.

information only when you choose to provide it. You may be required
to provide personally identifiable information to use certain services
on this Site, including, but not limited to, the "Email the Dealer/Seller"

Passive Information Collection
The Site automatically collects information and may also customize
your visit through technical means, including the following:
Cookies: Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer's
hard drive by computers (or servers) to identify your computer.

clear GIFs, or single-pixel GIFs) are electronic images embedded
into a webpage.
IP Address Logs: BusinessJet.com also logs Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses — the location of your computer on the Internet.
Cookies allow BusinessJet.com to recognize you when you visit the
Site, to personalize your experience and generally to serve you
better. For example, if you enter your name, address or ZIP code
on one of the Site's forms, it may be stored in a cookie so you
do not have to enter it again on other forms on the Site. Cookies
and web beacons can tell us what advertising you have seen on the
Site, which allows BusinessJet.com to offer you a more diverse selection
of advertising information and may also be used together to measure
the effectiveness of BusinessJet.com advertising campaigns. Cookies,
web beacons and IP addresses are also used to compile data regarding
Site usage (what website you came from, what pages of the Site you
visit, how long you were on the Site, what type of browser you are
using, what website did you go to, etc.). Web beacons may also be
included in emails sent by BusinessJet.com to determine when and
if such emails are opened or forwarded. You can disable cookies
or otherwise manage them through tools provided with your browser
software and with third-party software packages. If you turn off
cookies, many of the Site's features will not work as well or at
all. Anonymous information regarding Site usage that is collected
and/or aggregated by BusinessJet.com through the use of such technical
means or otherwise is referred to in this Statement as "Usage Data."
