'Personal data' means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

AIANTA obtains personal data from you including your name, organization, email address, postal address, title, telephone number, and consent to receive AIANTA’s newsletters.  We collect this information when you:

  • Create an NativeAmerica.travel account, application-programming interface (API) content access, or any AIANTA email newsletter.
  • Email, text or otherwise share a story from any of the Services.
  • Contact us for information or ask a question.
  • Make a donation to AIANTA or express interest in or request information about making donations.
  • If you choose to participate in a survey, we may ask you to provide your date of birth, gender, education level, information about your employment, income level and other information.


Information Obtained Automatically Through Technology

Depending on which Services you use and how you access them, the information collected automatically through technology, such as access logs, cookies, pixels and other tracking technologies, may include:

  • Internet Protocol Address (IP address)
  • The domain name of your Internet Service Provider
  • The website, application, platform or service you visited before and after visiting our Services.

Information Not Obtained Directly From You

The Services use third-party analytics, cookie data collection and linking services (collectively "Analytics Services"), including Google Universal Analytics, Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting and DoubleClick for Publishers. These Analytics Services may use cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking and storage technologies to collect or receive information (not including your name or the email address you register with NativeAmerica.travel) from the Services and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to analyze and measure AIANTA's audience and target and evaluate the effectiveness of sponsorship credits. For example, AIANTA and Analytics Services may use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve sponsorship messages based on your past interactions with our Services and other websites or services. In addition, we may use analytics data, including but not limited to, geographic, demographic, and interest reporting information to recognize and understand user preferences, make improvements, and for other operational purposes.

Cookies enable us to gather anonymous information and other technical information you choose to share with AIANTA. A cookie is a small file placed on your computer’s hard drive or device during your visit to a website. A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may change your browser settings to decline them. Please be aware that for security reasons we may refuse access to specific website content unless you accept the use of a cookie or similar technology.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about Web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to visitor needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. We may use functional cookies to remember your preferences.

For example, if you register on our website, we may use cookies to remember your registration information, so you do not need to log in to our site each time you visit. We also may record your password in a cookie if you checked the box that permits saving this password for automatic sign-in. Please note that account or partner identification numbers, passwords and any other account-related data included in such cookies are encrypted for security purposes

We may use commercial cookies in connection with our use of third-party advertising technology to direct advertisements to you when you visit our website.

In the course of delivering advertisements to you, a unique third-party cookie may be placed or recognized on your browser.

Our website also may use Web beacons (also known as clear GIF, pixel tags or Web bugs), which are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are placed in the code of a Web page. We use Web beacons to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our site to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, and to improve site performance. We also may allow our service providers to use Web beacons to help us understand which emails have been opened by recipients and to track the visitor traffic and actions on our site. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our content and other offerings.

We may also authorize service providers to collect information on our behalf, including, for example, as necessary to operate features of our website, track visitor actions, promote customer service and marketing programs, including providing online advertising tailored to your interests. Service providers have access to and may collect information only as needed to perform their functions and are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose.
