Flight Mates

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 16 August 2026

The latest version is the version displayed in the Flight Mates app. If this webpage differs from the app, the latest in-app version prevails.

1. Information We Handle

To provide Flight Mates, we may handle your account information (username, Badge Name and password-verification information), flight records (flight number, date, route, flight type and crew list), crew details (name, rank and favourites), an avatar that you choose to upload, and support information you choose to include in an email.

2. How We Use Information

We use this information only to provide and maintain your account, save and display flight records, support crew search and co-flight features, process photo imports, respond to support requests, and maintain the security and reliability of the service.

3. Offline Cache

To support offline viewing, Flight Mates stores recent flight records, crew information and avatar data on your device. This cache is associated with the signed-in user and is refreshed when newer server information is available. Removing the app or its data may remove the local cache.

4. Storage and Security

Account and flight information are stored on Flight Mates servers. Crew lists are stored in encrypted form. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

5. Photo Import and Vision Processing

When you voluntarily use Import Photo, the selected image is sent to the Flight Mates server and then to its configured third-party vision service solely to extract flight and crew information. Please upload only images that you are authorised to use and avoid including unrelated sensitive information.

6. Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information. We share only the information necessary with the configured vision service for a photo import, where required to operate or protect the service, where required by applicable law, or with your express consent.

7. Retention and Deletion

You can delete individual flight records in the app; deletion cannot be undone. To request deletion of your account or server-side information, contact us using the email address below. To protect accounts, password-reset requests may require your username, Badge Name and a recently entered flight record.

8. Children

Flight Mates is not intended for individuals under 16. If you believe a child has supplied personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us.

9. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version and effective date will be available in the app. Continued use of Flight Mates after an update means that you accept the revised policy.
