Privacy Policy

Draft — please have this reviewed before launch.

1. What stays on your phone

Your catches, plane cards, Sticker Book, Tail Log, photo folder and most settings are kept on your own device and are not sent to us.
Clearing your browser data or changing phone can remove them.

Your sign-in details (email and the name from Apple or Google).
Photos you choose to post to the live feed or album, support messages and their attachments.
Leaderboard, group and family entries you join, confirmed catch records used for scoring, and your membership status.
For checked Sticker Book photos: a one-way photo fingerprint, aircraft type and assessed points, not a copy of the photo or its GPS. Confirmed sticker awards remain until you delete your account.
A saved home airport and map area, so they survive if your phone clears its storage.

Photos are kept in private storage and opened only through short-lived links the app creates for people allowed to see them.
We store a place name for a photo, never its precise GPS position. Family alerts share only the aircraft name.

Photos you check are sent to an AI service to recognise the aircraft; avatar drawings and spoken quotes also use AI. These are not used to build advertising profiles.
Payments are processed by our payment provider; we never see your full card details. Live flight positions come from public flight-tracking data.

If you share your referral link we keep your referral code, which accounts signed up through it, their plan type and the status of each reward. Other members only ever see a masked name or callsign, never full names or card details.
To stop self-referrals and fraud we keep a one-way scrambled fingerprint of the device and network (IP) used, not the raw IP address.
When you request a withdrawal we store the payout details you give us (PayPal email, or UK bank account name, sort code and account number) together with the payment record. We use them only to pay you, keep accounting and tax records, and prevent duplicate claims, and only the app owner can see them.

Public posts: anyone. Members-only posts: signed-in members. Groups: only fellow group members. Family: only your approved family.
We do not sell your data.

Leave any leaderboard or group at any time, delete posts, and turn alerts off in Settings.
Delete your account from Settings: this removes your cloud records, uploaded photos and the data on that device. Cancel a paid membership first.

Children should use the app through a parent's Family Pass, with the parent approving them. Contact us through Get in touch in Settings to have a child's data removed.
