Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Aero ("Aero", "we", "us", "our"), operated by Trooper Justin (Sydney, NSW, Australia), collects, processes, stores, and safeguards information when you visit aeroerlc.com (the "Site") or utilize our services.

We are committed to protecting your personal data in full compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / UK GDPR), and applicable international privacy frameworks.

1.Principles of Data Minimization

We strictly limit data collection to what is directly necessary to deliver our services. We do not require account registration to read articles, browse wiki entries, or explore guides on the Site.

• Discord OAuth2 Identification: If you choose to log in, we receive your Discord User ID, username, global display name, and avatar image URL via Discord's OAuth2 API. We use this strictly to verify server roles, course completion status, and membership tiers.
• Voluntary Creator & Affiliate Submissions: If you apply to the Aero Developers program or submit an affiliate application, we collect the details you submit (such as livery titles, categories, and optional contact notes).
• Theme & Display Preferences: We store your chosen theme preference (dark/light) in your browser's local storage.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or advertising purposes.

2.Lawful Bases for Processing (GDPR)

For users residing in the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

• Performance of a Contract: To authenticate your access to purchased membership perks, courses, and digital claiming tickets.
• Legitimate Interests: To prevent fraud, protect server integrity, and ensure security of our portal systems.
• Consent: Where you explicitly consent to provide application details for creator or affiliate programs.

3.Payments & Financial Information

We implement industry-standard encryption (HTTPS / TLS 1.3) and access controls. Data submitted through portal forms is retained only as long as necessary to process submissions or maintain active affiliate relationships, after which it is archived or deleted.
