Privacy policy for Nose Art Films.

Last updated: May 1, 2026. Nose Art Films is an independent educational website produced by Whirlwind Productions. The site publishes material about aircraft nose art in films, WWII aviation memory, image provenance, source credits, restoration labels, and responsible historical interpretation. The site is built for general audiences. It does not ask visitors to create accounts, upload profiles, buy products, or submit payment details.

This policy describes the ordinary information that may be processed when the website operates. It is not a promise that every third-party service uses the same practices. External platforms, including social media sites, video platforms, archives, museum pages, ad networks, and image repositories, control their own privacy rules after you leave Nose Art Films.

Information processed during visits

The site may process standard technical information through hosting, security, analytics, caching, or performance systems. This information can include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location derived from network data, referring page, requested URL, date, time, error logs, and basic interaction signals. This information helps keep pages available, diagnose broken links, protect the site from abusive traffic, understand aggregate readership, and improve page speed.

Nose Art Films does not use this technical information to personally identify casual readers. The site focuses on educational content, not user accounts. Aggregated information can show that visitors read the homepage hub, open an aircraft guide, visit the sources page, or follow a policy link. That information helps the archive improve navigation and article structure.

Information sent by email

If you email contact@noseartfilms.co.uk, the archive may receive your email address, name if you include it, the message content, file attachments, source links, aircraft details, correction notes, and any other information you choose to send. Email is used to respond to the request, review corrections, improve source credits, investigate factual issues, or keep a record of a publishing decision.

Send only information you are comfortable sharing for the purpose of the inquiry. Do not send private personal information about another person, sensitive identity documents, unpublished files that you cannot share, or copyrighted materials that you do not have permission to submit. If a correction is accepted, Nose Art Films may use the factual information you provided, but it does not publish your private contact details unless you clearly request public credit and that credit is appropriate.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Nose Art Films may use cookies, local storage, server logs, or similar technologies to operate the site, measure traffic, improve performance, remember basic preferences, protect against abuse, and support advertising if ads are enabled. Cookies are small files or browser-held identifiers that help websites and service providers recognize a browser or measure a visit.

If Google AdSense or another advertising service is enabled, Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies or comparable technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, detect invalid activity, and personalize or contextualize advertising. Google explains these practices in How AdSense uses cookies and its AdSense Required content guidance for publishers. Visitors can manage cookies in browser settings and can review Google privacy controls through Google's own privacy and advertising settings.

Social media links and external platforms

Nose Art Films links to official pages on Facebook, Twitter (X), Pinterest, and YouTube. Those links help visitors confirm the public identity of the archive, follow new article releases, see image notes, and watch video updates. Clicking a social link takes you to a separate platform that may collect information through its own cookies, logged-in account data, analytics systems, advertising tools, and interaction records. Nose Art Films does not control those platforms.

How information is used

Information may be used to operate the website, publish and maintain articles, answer contact messages, review corrections, document source decisions, detect technical problems, prevent abuse, understand aggregate readership, comply with applicable obligations, and separate advertising from editorial content. The archive does not sell visitor contact emails as a mailing list. It does not require membership to read articles.

Retention and security

Technical logs are generally kept only as long as needed for hosting, security, debugging, analytics, or legal compliance. Email messages may be retained longer when they document a correction, source credit, rights question, or article decision. No website can guarantee perfect security, but the archive uses ordinary safeguards through its hosting, email, and publishing systems to reduce unauthorized access and data loss.

Visitor choices

You can read the site without creating an account. You can choose not to email the archive. You can block or delete cookies in your browser, adjust privacy settings on social platforms, use Google advertising controls, or leave the site through your browser at any time. Some cookie blocking can affect embedded media, analytics accuracy, or ad functions, but the main written articles remain designed for ordinary reading.

Children and contact

Nose Art Films is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent personal information to the site, email contact@noseartfilms.co.uk so the issue can be reviewed. Use the same email for privacy questions, correction-related data requests, or concerns about source-credit handling.
