4. Drone Service Requests and Third-Party Referrals
BCS Drones helps connect individuals and businesses with independent drone service providers.
When you submit a request for drone services, we may share relevant information from your inquiry with one or more third-party providers to help facilitate your request.

Once you communicate or enter into an agreement directly with a provider, that provider’s collection and use of your information may be governed by its own privacy policy.
BCS Drones does not guarantee the privacy or security practices of independent third-party providers.
5. Affiliate Links and Advertising Relationships
Our Website may contain affiliate links to third-party businesses offering drone equipment, accessories, FAA Part 107 training, and related services.

We may receive a commission or referral fee from qualifying transactions or actions.
Affiliate tracking may involve cookies, referral identifiers, or other technologies operated by third parties.
