out of 100. Number 444 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where Boeing does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- No forced arbitration and no class-action waiver — unlike most consumer-tech companies, Boeing's site terms send disputes to real courts (state or federal court in King County, Washington).
- The California privacy notice states plainly 'We do not sell your Personal Information' and says no substantive financial incentives are offered for collection.
- Boeing commits not to subject personal information to automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without safeguards or consent.
- Children's data is not knowingly collected and will be deleted on request.
- The policy lists a real Global Privacy Office/DPO contact (GlobalDPO@boeing.com), an online privacy-rights request portal, and EU-U.S.
- Data Privacy Framework certification with free JAMS dispute resolution.
Anything you send Boeing — even by email — becomes Boeing's property outright.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.

Anything you send Boeing — even by email — becomes Boeing's property outright. They can use your ideas commercially, owe you nothing, and you waive any moral-rights claim to your own creative work.
Accordingly, you agree that any materials, including but not limited to questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, plans, notes, drawings, original or creative materials or other information, provided by you in the form of e-mail or submissions to Boeing, or postings on this Site, are non-confidential (subject to Boeing's Privacy Policy) and shall become the sole property of Boeing. Boeing shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use of these materials for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. The submission of any materials to Boeing, including the posting of materials to any forum or interactive area, irrevocably waives any and all "moral rights" in such materials, including the rights of paternity and integrity.
-
Boeing can rewrite these terms any time it wants, with no consent asked — just by posting a notice on the site. Simply continuing to visit the site counts as you agreeing to the new terms.
Boeing reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in the Site Terms or any policy or guideline of the Site, at any time and in its sole discretion. Any changes or modification will be effective upon posting of the revisions and notice of such changes to the Site. Your continued use of this Site following the posting of its changes or modifications will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications.
-
No matter what goes wrong — even Boeing's negligence — the most you can ever recover from them is $5 or whatever you paid them, whichever is less. Since visiting the site is free, your effective cap is $5.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF BOEING (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF BOEING'S SITE EXCEED $5.00 OR THE COMPENSATION YOU PAID BOEING, WHICHEVER IS LESS.

If Boeing decides disclosure is 'necessary or appropriate' for its own security or to respond to government requests, that disclosure right overrides anything its Privacy Policy promises — the privacy policy can be trumped by the terms page.
In order to cooperate with legitimate governmental requests, subpoenas or court orders, to protect Boeing's systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of Boeing's business and systems, Boeing may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, user profile information (i.e. name, e-mail address, etc.), IP addressing and traffic information, usage history, and posted Content. Boeing's right to disclose any such information shall govern over any terms of Boeing's Privacy Policy.

Ad trackers on Boeing's site can follow you across other websites and link your phone, laptop, and other devices into one ad profile. If you set 'do not track' in your browser, Boeing ignores it unless the law forces otherwise.
These technologies enable the third-party providers to set or read their own cookies or other identifiers on your device, through which they can collect information about your online activities across the Services and other, unaffiliated devices, applications, websites, or services. ... Data collected from a particular browser, app, or device can be used with a linked computer or device. For example, we or our third-party service providers display ads to you on your laptop or other device based on the fact that you visited Boeing Services on your smartphone. ... Like many websites, we do not currently respond to 'do not track' browser headers except where legally required.

Boeing doesn't tell you how long it keeps your data — it's in an internal 'corporate retention schedule' you can't see. Even after you close an account or remove payment info, it keeps that financial data indefinitely for 'fraud prevention' and compliance.
Thereafter, Boeing retains personal information for a period of time set forth in its corporate retention schedules. ... After you close an account or remove Payment Data, however, Boeing will retain that information for as long as reasonably necessary to complete transactions, to comply with Boeing's legal and reporting requirements, and to detect and prevent fraud.
How these were found
Boeing is a B2B/defense aerospace company; Boeing.com is an informational site, not a consumer storefront — there is no consumer account/subscription surface on the public site, so arbitration (0) and auto-renew (0) findings reflect that thin surface, not goodwill. Documents read live via browser_open on 2026-10-01: (1) 'Boeing.com Site Terms' read at the URL above (US/en terms page as served on Boeing's India regional domain; the same document governs Boeing.com use), and (2) the official Privacy and Cookie Statement at https://www.boeing.com/privacy-and-cookie-policy, effective date August 3, 2026, read in full including the California-residents notice and GDPR table. Related portals with separate terms (boeingsuppliers.com terms, investmentrecovery.boeing.com, shop.boeing.com, employee health-plan sites) were not scored.
