Compliance
Compliance Overview
This page summarizes the controls currently in place on Airchive's public release. It is a product disclosure page, not a statement that every legal obligation in every jurisdiction has been independently certified.
Last updated March 28, 2026
Current release scope
The live site is a public, read-first archive built around aircraft reference pages, editorial coverage, restored legacy URLs, a live forum subdomain, and a moderated contribution intake. It does not currently offer checkout or general-purpose user uploads outside the reviewed submission flow.
Privacy and consent controls
Airchive keeps analytics off until a visitor opts in. The site provides a banner, a dedicated Privacy Controls page, and a cookie notice. Global Privacy Control is treated as a signal to keep analytics off unless a visitor later makes a more specific on-site choice.
U.S. and EU-facing disclosures
The site now publishes a fuller privacy notice, cookie notice, terms of use, accessibility statement, and copyright posture. Those pages now cover the current forum and contribution workflows rather than placeholder future features.
Airchive does not currently present targeted advertising, checkout flows, or sensitive-category profiling on the public site. If those product choices change, the legal and privacy notices will need to expand before the new processing becomes standard.
Moderation, sourcing, and archive safety
Editorial and archive integrity depends on sourced writing, moderation rights, and visible community rules. Existing policy pages complement the site's Sources and Community Guidelines pages instead of replacing them, and now apply to both the main site and the forum environment.
Accessibility and operational maturity
Airchive uses semantic markup, visible focus styles, and a skip link in the public shell, and it now discloses the accessibility target and known limitations on a dedicated page. The current site still needs operational request channels before it should be described as fully mature from an enterprise compliance-ops perspective.
