Privacy
AirframeDB is a free reference operated by Rohsam Inc. There are no advertisements, advertising profiles or sales of personal information.
Effective 15 September 2026
Aircraft Library in FFB-Bridge
FFB-Bridge retrieves aircraft references and photographs from AirframeDB. Requests include the aircraft name, type code and simulator needed to find a match. Unmatched aircraft names and type codes may be recorded in a private coverage queue to help improve the catalogue. These requests do not contain flight telemetry or tuning profiles.
Access uses a random installation identifier and a credential created by the app. AirframeDB stores the identifier, a hash of the credential, the app version and access dates to renew access and limit abuse. Enrollment also uses a protected hash of the network address to limit repeated registrations; this value is cleared after 48 hours when the next enrollment cleanup runs. The raw address is not stored in the installation record.
Installation records are retained to support renewal and prevent revoked credentials from registering again. Credential expiry does not automatically delete these records. Contact email@rohsam.com about access or deletion; the installation identifier can help locate the relevant record. These records are separate from community accounts and email subscriptions.
Community accounts and discussions
Reading the forum does not require an account. To participate, provide an email address and choose a public handle. Your address is encrypted in the database and used for transactional sign-in links; it does not subscribe you to updates. Sign-in links expire after 15 minutes and work once. A secure, essential sign-in cookie lasts up to 14 days and can be renewed while you use the community. Signing out removes it from this browser.
Your handle, join date and published contributions are public. New members’ held posts are visible only to their author and the moderator. Reports and bookmarks are private. Moderation records help manage abuse and resolve disputes. Forum pages do not load website analytics or remote images. YouTube players connect to YouTube/Google only after you choose to load a video.
You can remove your account from your profile. This removes the active email address, handle, bookmarks and reactions, and invalidates existing sign-in sessions. Published posts remain under “Deleted member” to preserve discussion context; remove individual posts first or contact AirframeDB about personal information in a contribution. Rejected and removed post text is cleared from the active database. Expired login records are removed by routine cleanup; backups and mail-system records follow their normal retention rotation.
Uploaded pictures are processed into smaller WebP images; original files and embedded metadata are discarded. Pictures follow the visibility of their post. Unposted uploads expire after 24 hours and are cleaned up hourly. Removing a picture, its post or your account makes the image unavailable. Backups may retain deleted data for their normal retention period.
Optional email updates
The optional signup records your email address, request and confirmation dates, and the wording version of your consent. A confirmation email is sent before your subscription becomes active. Your address is used for occasional AirframeDB news from Rohsam Inc.; signing up does not affect access to the site.
Confirmation links expire after 48 hours. Unconfirmed requests are removed after 30 days. Every update includes an unsubscribe link; withdrawal removes the email address from the active database. A protected lookup value and minimal withdrawal record are kept for up to 12 months. You can also contact hello@airframedb.com to withdraw, correct or delete your information. No updates are sent without confirmation.
Feedback and replies
The feedback form saves your message, category, any aircraft context, submission date and optional reply email, and sends a private notification to Rohsam’s feedback inbox. An email address is only needed if you want a reply; feedback does not subscribe you to updates. Feedback records are normally retained for up to 12 months, or longer if an ongoing request requires them.
Voluntary contributions
If you choose to contribute, your selected amount and receipt email are sent to Stripe to create a one-time checkout. Stripe collects payment details on its own website. AirframeDB does not store card details or add contributors to the update list. Rohsam can access transaction and receipt records through Stripe for accounting, payment support and legal obligations.
Private aircraft workspace
Your saved aircraft, notes, resource references and collections belong to your signed-in AirframeDB account. Their contents are encrypted in the application database and excluded from public aircraft pages, public reader caches and analytics. You can export or delete your notes in My aircraft. Deleting your account removes this workspace and its app connections from the active service; operational backups expire through their normal rotation.
Connecting FFB-Bridge Pro requires approval in your browser for a specific installation. The grant permits reading and editing your workspace for up to 90 days and can be revoked on the Connected apps page. Bridge keeps an encrypted local copy where secure credential storage is available. Revocation stops future server access; remove the local copy on the device separately. This connection does not combine your AirframeDB account with a Bridge community account or licence.
Website analytics
Rohsam hosts Umami to understand which aircraft and resources people find useful. It records page visits, referring website domains, browser and device categories, approximate location and selected actions such as comparing aircraft or opening a developer link. Developer referrals include the aircraft, developer, linked resource and destination domain. A referral count does not establish a purchase or download.
Analytics does not use cookies, advertising identifiers, accounts or session recordings. Email addresses, form contents, search terms, URL queries and fragments are excluded. Connection information, including the IP address and browser user agent, is processed to derive approximate location and short-lived anonymous visit identifiers; Umami does not store the raw IP address. Analytics records are deleted after 12 months.
Analytics starts after an interaction or ten seconds of foreground viewing. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are respected. You can also turn analytics off for this browser; this preference is stored locally and can be changed here.
JavaScript is needed for analytics. With JavaScript disabled, no analytics is sent.
Essential storage and security
Forms use a security cookie to prevent forged submissions. A short-lived cookie carries feedback success references between pages. Protected previews use a sign-in cookie. Your chosen colour theme and analytics preference can be stored in your browser; comparison navigation may temporarily store scroll and focus state. These values are not advertising identifiers.
Hosting and security systems, including Cloudflare, process connection details to deliver pages, limit abuse and investigate faults. Operational records and backups may retain information beyond its removal from the active service until their normal rotation, or longer where a specific legal or security obligation requires it. Form contents are not deliberately included in application logs.
Email addresses, feedback and queued message contents are encrypted in the application database. Queued content is cleared after successful delivery; failed or uncertain messages are kept only for bounded delivery handling. Completed delivery metadata is removed after 30 days. Rohsam’s mail system also holds sent and received correspondence under its operational retention practices.
Access, service providers and external links
Access to saved addresses and operational systems is restricted to authorised Rohsam personnel and service providers acting for Rohsam. Information may be processed in Canada, the United States and locations used by network and security providers, under the laws of those locations. Information may also be disclosed when legally required or necessary to protect the service and its users.
Photographs are served by AirframeDB. Following a manual, developer or other external link takes you to an independently operated website with its own privacy practices.
Your choices and contact
You can request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information held about you, withdraw an email request, or raise a privacy concern. Rohsam may need to verify that a request concerns your own information. Applicable law may provide additional rights; nothing here limits them.
