This Privacy Policy describes how Southwest Airlines Pilots Association ("SWAPA," "we," or "us") collects, uses and shares information in connection with SWAPA's services, systems, websites, and apps that refer or link to the Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Services").
By using our Services, you agree to our Terms and Conditions and consent to our collection, use and disclosure practices, and other activities as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations.
SWAPA will collect only that information about employees and pilots which is needed and relevant. We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you use our Services, register for our Services or set up a SWAPA account, subscribe to our e-mails, mobile messages, or social media notifications, post on our forums or blogs, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us through the Services.
The types of information we may collect include Personal Information. "Personal Information" is information that could reasonably be linked with a particular consumer or household, including information that can be used to identify an individual (whether alone or in combination), such as your first and last name, e-mail address, zip code, address, phone number, social media account information, birth date, and demographic information. "Personal Information" also may include sensitive information, such as present and future health status.
You may choose to voluntarily submit certain other information to us through the Services, including Personal Information, but you are solely responsible for your own Personal Information that you submit to us.
SWAPA may disclose personally identifiable information without prior notification or approval from individuals for various purposes including:

We or others may store, display, reproduce, publish, distribute or otherwise use User Content online or offline in any media or format (currently existing or hereafter developed) and may or may not attribute it to you. Others may have access to this User Content and may have the ability to share it with third parties. Please think carefully before deciding what information you share, including Personal Information, in connection with your User Content. Please note that SWAPA does not control who will have access to the information that you choose to make public, and cannot ensure that parties who have access to such publicly available information will respect your privacy or keep it secure.
