How We Use Information
We may use information to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, facilitate introductions or transactions you request, operate and secure the website, troubleshoot problems and understand how visitors use our features.
We may also use information to send you updates, market information and marketing about our services, and to measure and improve our communications and advertising.
We may also use information to develop, evaluate and improve current and future products, services, market analytics and AI systems, subject to applicable law and relevant permissions. These purposes may include reviewing interactions and feedback to improve accuracy, usefulness and performance.
AI Features and Chat
When you use chat or an AI feature, your inputs and related information may be recorded and processed by Aerista and third-party technology providers to generate responses and operate the feature. Our team may review chat conversations and share them with brokers to respond to you. We may retain interactions, generated responses and feedback for the purposes described in this policy.
AI features can produce inaccurate or incomplete information. Do not submit passwords, payment-card details or other sensitive information through AI conversations.
How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers supporting website hosting, communications, analytics, security, AI processing and other business functions.

When you request or view an aircraft’s logbooks or records, we may share your contact information and the records you requested, viewed or downloaded with that aircraft’s seller and listing broker.
Information may also be disclosed in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of business assets, subject to applicable restrictions.
