2. Purpose, reliability of information and liability
1001 Crash gathers information about aviation, air accidents and incidents, aviation safety, aircraft, statistics and related video content. This information may come from public sources, investigation bodies, authorities, operators, manufacturers, media, witness accounts or archives.
Information about a recent event may be preliminary, incomplete, contradictory or amended as the investigation progresses. A hypothesis, preliminary item, translation, summary or estimate published on the website is never an official conclusion. Final reports and communications from the competent authorities or investigation bodies take precedence.
Reasonable efforts are made to verify, correct and update content. However, the publisher does not guarantee that every item is accurate, complete, current, available or free from error. Important information must be checked against its original source and the competent official bodies.
To the extent permitted by law, the publisher shall not be liable for a decision based solely on the website, misuse of information, interruption, unavailability, technical error, loss of data or indirect damage. This provision does not exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
The website is independent and is not affiliated with, instructed or endorsed by any investigation authority, public administration, airline, operator, manufacturer or professional organisation, unless expressly and verifiably stated on the relevant page.
External links and embedded content
The website may provide links to or players from third-party services. The publisher does not continuously control their content, availability or privacy practices. Their presence is not an endorsement. Users should consult the terms and policies of the relevant service.
3. Corrections, removal and right of reply
Anyone may report a factual error, outdated information, unlawful content or an infringement of rights, or request a correction or removal through the contact form. The request should identify the URL, the relevant passage, the requested action and any useful evidence.
Anyone named or identified on the website has a right of reply under French law. A request must be made within three months after the relevant material was made publicly available. Where the non-professional publisher remains anonymous, the formal request may be sent to the hosting provider, which forwards it promptly to the publication director. A valid reply is inserted within the statutory period.
4. Intellectual property, credits and removal requests
Unless otherwise stated, the website’s structure, presentation, original text, selection and organisation of data, graphic elements and code are protected by applicable intellectual property rules. Any reproduction, representation, adaptation, substantial extraction or reuse beyond statutory exceptions requires the right holder’s prior permission.
Third-party trademarks, logos, photographs, videos, documents and other content remain the property of their respective owners. Their presence does not transfer any right. Depending on the circumstances, they are used with permission, under licence, embedded from a third-party platform, for quotation or illustration, or on another permitted basis.
A right holder may request verification or correction of a credit, restricted use or removal through the contact form. The request must clearly identify the work, URL, asserted rights and the requester’s authority. Sufficiently documented requests are reviewed promptly.
5. User comments and contributions
Comments express their authors’ opinions, not the publisher’s. Authors remain responsible for their content and warrant that they hold the rights required for publication.
Prohibited content includes unlawful, defamatory, insulting, threatening, hateful, discriminatory, violent or pornographic material; content that infringes privacy or intellectual property rights; unnecessary disclosure of personal data; advocacy of an offence; spam; and off-topic material.
Comments may be moderated before or after publication. The publisher may reject, hide, anonymise or remove a contribution that breaches these rules or the law. By submitting a comment, its author grants 1001 Crash a free permission to reproduce and display it for the duration of its publication, without transferring ownership. The author may request removal, subject to legal obligations and any retention necessary to defend legal rights.
6. Personal data protection

Required fields and recipients
Fields marked as required are necessary to handle a request or publish a contribution; all others are optional. Data are accessible to the publisher and, strictly as necessary, to the hosting provider, email service, security tools, consent-management platform and, depending on services used and choices made, analytics, advertising or embedded-content partners. Data are not sold.
Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Any such transfer must rely on a mechanism recognised by applicable law, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. Current information is available through the CMP and provider policies.
Rights and security
Subject to applicable conditions, individuals have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and, where applicable, data portability. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. A response is normally provided within one month. Proof of identity is requested only where there is reasonable doubt.
A complaint may be lodged with the French data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés: www.cnil.fr. Reasonable measures are used to limit unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss, although absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
