Welcome to NNumberSearch.com (the "Platform", "we", "us", or "our"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy governs your access to and use of NNumberSearch.com, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the Platform.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the Platform. By using the Platform, you accept and agree to be bound by these practices.

1. Important Structural Disclaimers & Intended Scope

1.1 Business Tool Mandate

NNumberSearch.com is strictly an aviation asset business intelligence tool. It processes historical documentation, corporate filings, structural manufacturing profiles, and sovereign civil aircraft registration files to assist users in cross-border purchasing, market analysis, and legal due diligence.

1.2 Public Record Aggregation

A significant portion of the data presented on this Platform is compiled from public-domain datasets published daily by sovereign civil aviation authorities, including the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada Civil Aircraft Register (CCAR). This policy delineates how we handle both public sovereign datasets and privately submitted user data.

2. Information We Collect About You

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Platform, falling into two primary buckets:

2.1 Public Record Data Ingestion

To provide our cross-border lookup services, our automated processing pipelines ingest public records. These files may contain:

• Airframe identities (e.g., N-Numbers, Canadian Registration Marks, Mode S Hex codes, aircraft serial numbers).

• Sovereign status codes, transaction dates, and engine specifications.

• Publicly indexable corporate or individual owner names and associated registry mailing addresses, as published by sovereign government sources.

2.2 Private Account and User Data

When you create an account, subscribe to a premium B2B tier, or contact us, you directly provide us with:

• Identifiers: Full name, email address, corporate entity name, telephone number, and account credentials.

• Commercial Transaction Data: Billing information, payment methods, and historical transaction logs processed securely via our third-party payment partner (Stripe). We do not store raw credit card numbers on our infrastructure.

• Technical Activity Data: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, operating systems, and programmatic query tracking numbers generated when running autocomplete searches or lookups.

3. Strict Sovereign Privacy Opt-Out Handlers

NNumberSearch.com is systematically engineered to honor and maintain alignment with automated privacy laws, including 49 U.S.C. § 44114 (withholding of aircraft owner identifiable data from public disclosure) and the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

• Source Nullification: If an aircraft owner has legally opted out of public tracking or PII distribution at the sovereign level (FAA or Transport Canada), our daily ingestion workers are designed to collect and record these parameters as blank spaces or NULL variables.

• Interface Masking: Where personal data is legally withheld at the source, our system automatically catches empty strings and replaces them with a uniform interface placeholder reading:

  "Owner Information Withheld (Privacy Opt-Out)"

• Removal Requests: If you are an individual aircraft owner and believe your information is visible on our site despite opting out via sovereign government methods, please contact us at the dedicated privacy contact email address at the end of this document for immediate manual evaluation and programmatic verification.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect or receive to:

• Maintain, index, optimize, and present the Platform and its cross-border database elements to you.

• Enforce Row-Level Security (RLS) tokens and verify active premium B2B tiered subscriptions via webhook synchronization.

• Provide high-speed local client caching and offline autocomplete indexing through localized system database allocations (Dexie.js/IndexedDB frameworks under a 50MB device ceiling limit).

• Fulfill our programmatic requirements for security monitoring, fraud prevention, and system stability.

5. Disclosure and Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or lease your private account data to third parties. We may disclose aggregated, non-personally identifiable technical information without restriction. We share your personal information exclusively with:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party entities who assist us in operating our business (e.g., Stripe for processing subscription fees, Cloudflare for application edge delivery and security).

• Legal Compliance: To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request.

6. Local Storage and Data Persistence (Offline Synchronization)

To facilitate operational reliability on remote runways and inside steel airport hangars, NNumberSearch.com caches basic data indices directly on your device using IndexedDB client wrappers.

• Basic search indices (tail numbers, manufacturers, model designations) are cached locally to support autocomplete actions while working entirely offline.

• Detailed technical logs, narratives, and asset records are cached locally for up to 30 days following an active user request before expiration. You may clear your browser cache or application data at any time to purge these local stores.

7. Regional and Jurisdictional Rights

7.1 California Privacy Rights (CPRA / CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you possess distinct statutory rights regarding your personal data under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA. This includes the right to request access, correction, deletion, or portability of your private information. Because our public data mirrors federal aviation registries, modifications to the underlying public tracking records must be initiated directly with the FAA.

7.2 European Union and UK Residents (GDPR)

While NNumberSearch.com focuses exclusively on North American cross-border aviation statistics (US and Canada), any processing of personal data belonging to EU or UK citizens is executed with appropriate data hygiene controls. Our lawful bases for processing information include contract performance (managing your B2B subscription account) and legitimate business interests (compiling legal aircraft title tracking archives).

8. Data Security and Safeguards

We implement professional, industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical defenses to shield your information. Data access within our system infrastructure is strictly isolated using database-level Row-Level Security (RLS) rules and cryptographically signed JSON Web Tokens (JWT). However, no transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely flawless; we cannot promise absolute security.

9. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

It is our standard operational policy to post any revisions we make to our Privacy Policy on this page. If we make material modifications to how we handle our users' personal information, we will notify you through a prominent announcement banner on the Platform dashboard interface.
