Welcome to Illinois Airlines — your window seat to exploring the best of Illinois. Before we get back to road trips and hidden gems, let’s talk privacy.
We’re not here to collect your secrets or flood your inbox. We believe your personal information should stay just that — personal. This policy explains what kind of data we collect, how we use it, and most importantly, what we don’t do with it.
If you continue using the site, you’re agreeing to the terms outlined here. No legalese, no small print trickery — just straightforward transparency.
Most of the time, you can read our content, browse attractions, and check out travel tips without giving us any personal info at all. You don’t need an account to explore, and we don’t follow you around with annoying pop-ups.
That said, there are moments where you might share a little something — like when you:
In those cases, we may collect your name, email address, or whatever info you choose to share. We use that information to reply to your message, send updates you actually asked for, or make the site better based on what you tell us.
We also use standard analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to gather non-personal info — things like your browser type, how long you stayed on a page, or which article brought you here. This helps us understand what’s working and what needs a tweak. It’s anonymous, it’s aggregated, and it never includes private details.
We do not collect sensitive info like your payment details, government IDs, or anything you wouldn’t feel comfortable putting on a public bulletin board. That’s not our lane.
We use your information to make Illinois Airlines a more useful and enjoyable place to be.
That could mean:
What we don’t do:
We’re travelers too, and we know what it’s like to give an email out and immediately regret it. That’s not how we operate.
To keep everything running behind the scenes, we use a few third-party tools — things like analytics platforms, email newsletter services, or website plugins. These services help us understand traffic patterns, store subscriber info, and send out content you’ve asked for.
These platforms may access some of your data, but only to help us provide the services we promised. We choose vendors that follow strong privacy practices and never give them more than they need.
As always, we recommend reviewing their policies too — especially if you’re submitting information directly through one of their embedded tools.
Yes, we use cookies. No, not the chocolate chip kind.
Cookies are small files stored in your browser to help remember preferences, keep the site running smoothly, and tell us what content is getting attention. They help improve the site, not snoop on your personal habits.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. It won’t break the site, but some features might not work as smoothly.
You’re in control of your own data. That means:
If you ever want to make any of these requests, just reach out at contact@illinoisairlines. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can (usually without sounding like a robot).
Sometimes, we link out to other sites — tourism boards, museum pages, event calendars, things like that. Once you click those links, you’re leaving Illinois Airlines and entering their world.
We can’t control how those sites handle your data, so it’s a good idea to read their privacy policies too before signing up or sharing anything.
We only link to sources we find helpful or trustworthy, but when it comes to your info — always double-check.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as technology, legal requirements, or site features evolve. If we make a significant change, we’ll let you know clearly on this page.
By continuing to use the site after an update, you’re agreeing to the new terms. If you ever want to see what’s changed, this page will always reflect the latest version.
