The work brokers actually do isn't transport — it's pattern-matching intent against supply, fast. We classify three.

§06 · COMPLIANCE NOTE
Brokers don't see principal PII by default.
The broker surface receives an opaque principal_hash per RFQ — never a name, never a tail-side itinerary outside the RFQ window, never billing or contact data. Operators authorize disclosure on a per-flight basis when the broker is the principal's quoting party of record.
On flows where the broker is the principal-of-record (charter agency, family-office travel desk), oneways acts as a sub-processor under the broker's privacy posture. On all other flows we are a data processor for the operator. Two postures, never blurred.
Sandbox in 48 hours. Production after a short call to confirm volume tier and posture.
Serial number returned on submit — quote it back in any follow-up.
