POLICIES & DISCLOSURES · VERSION 2026-10-12
This page explains ownership, source attribution, verification meanings and commercial relationships without implying an official endorsement.
AV-COMP is an independent aviation information and operations platform. Government names, examination designations and third-party names identify their actual sources or services; their use does not indicate partnership, delegation, endorsement or Crown status. Government and Aviation Executive account types are workspace categories. Corporate employee permissions require an explicit assignment.
Canadian regulatory and directory resources link to their originating authorities. The worldwide airport directory imports OurAirports public-domain data; it is community maintained and does not guarantee every facility or contact detail. Interactive base maps use OpenStreetMap contributors’ data and tile services with visible attribution. Source ownership and applicable licences remain with their respective owners.
Free Approved status is an AV-COMP access review. Paid ID verification, when connected, will concern government-issued identity documents for any account category. Pilot verification is a further manual aviation-credential review. No badge should be interpreted beyond its stated scope or as a government endorsement.
The identity-verification subscription provider and price are not yet configured; the site currently cannot charge for that service. Third-party exam and other service fees are set by their providers. Any sponsored placement, paid referral or affiliate link must be identified where presented; ordinary source and directory links do not by themselves assert a paid relationship.
Source monitoring and manual reviews have finite coverage and can fail. The published Coverage page describes known limitations. Imported source changes are not automatically accepted as revised legal doctrine. Account privacy controls cover the account profile; independently published professional directory listings have separate consent and review.
The policy framework considers Canadian privacy principles, meaningful consent and preservation of statutory rights. Publication is not a certification that every legal obligation is satisfied. Contact info@av-comp.ca about ownership, policy questions, disclosures or corrections.
