Privacy Policy
Who we are
FlightLimits is an independent, pilot-built suite of flight-operations utilities: FlightLog (duty & flight-time limit tracking), HoldoverLive (de-icing holdover times, including NOTAM Live), Aviation English Proficiency Practice (speaking & listening exam practice, private beta) and RadioCoach (radiotelephony training, in development). Contact details are at the bottom of this page.
iOS APPHoldoverLive & NOTAM Live
Data collected: none. The app has no accounts, no login, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. We do not collect names, e-mail addresses, contacts, device identifiers or usage data.
- Calculations and timers run entirely on your device. Holdover inputs, timers and settings are stored locally and never transmitted.
- Location (optional). If you use “nearest aerodrome”, the app asks for a one-time location fix solely to suggest the closest ICAO code. The coordinates are used on the device, are not stored and are never sent to us or to third parties. The feature is entirely optional.
- Network requests. When you fetch METAR, SNOWTAM or NOTAM data, the app contacts public aviation data
services (e.g.
aviationweather.gov,notams.aim.faa.gov) directly from your device. Those requests contain the aerodrome code you asked for and standard technical information any web request carries (such as your IP address, as seen by that service). We operate no server in between and receive nothing. - Notifications. Holdover alerts are scheduled locally on your device. No push servers are involved.
WEB APPFlightLog
- Your roster stays in your browser. Rosters, duty records, calculations and settings are stored in your browser’s local storage on your device. They are not uploaded to us and we cannot see them.
- Access e-mail. Pilot access to the web app is gated by an e-mail-based sign-in. The address is used only to grant access; the sign-in itself is delivered by our access provider (Cloudflare) acting as a processor. It is not used for marketing, is not shared with anyone else and is not linked to your roster data.
- Schedule & flight-time lookups (optional). Features that fetch published schedule times or flight actuals send only the flight number / aerodrome code being queried through our relay to an aviation data provider. No personal data and no roster content is attached; like any web request, the relay technically sees your IP address while serving it — we do not log or use it.
- Community code dictionary (optional). If you choose to share a duty-code format, only an anonymised summary — which you review on screen first — is transmitted. Names and identifiers are stripped before anything is sent, and the preview cannot be edited into something else.
- No analytics, no ads, no tracking — same policy as every FlightLimits app.
WEB — PRIVATE BETAAviation English Proficiency Practice
- AI transcription & scoring. To transcribe (in “Accurate” mode) and to score your exam, your audio and/or transcripts are sent over the internet to OpenAI, through a relay we operate. The AI connection is provided for you — you no longer enter your own API key. OpenAI is an independent third party that processes this data under its own terms and privacy policy (per OpenAI, API data is not used to train its models by default); we pass the request to OpenAI but do not control, and are not responsible for, OpenAI’s processing of it.
- Default (“Free”) mode keeps the speech-to-text step on your device; your transcripts are still sent to OpenAI for scoring when you complete the exam.
- Your practice progress is stored only in your browser’s local storage, on your device.
- No accounts, no analytics, no advertising.
IN DEVELOPMENTRadioCoach
RadioCoach transcribes and scores your radio calls using OpenAI (Whisper for speech-to-text, GPT for evaluation): your audio and transcripts are sent over the internet to OpenAI for that purpose, through a relay we operate. The AI connection is provided for you — you do not enter your own API key. OpenAI is an independent third party that processes this data under its own terms and privacy policy (per OpenAI, API data is not used to train its models by default); we pass the request to OpenAI but do not control, and are not responsible for, OpenAI’s processing of it. Your sessions and scores are stored on your device; there are no accounts or advertising, and we do not sell your data.
What we never do
- No selling, renting or sharing of personal data — there is essentially none to share.
- No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in any app.
- No profiling, no cross-app tracking, no marketing e-mails.
Data retention & deletion
Because your data lives on your device, you are in control: deleting the app (or clearing the browser’s site data for the web app) permanently removes everything. There is nothing held on our side to delete.
Children
FlightLimits apps are professional aviation tools and are not directed at children.
Changes to this policy
If the apps ever change in a way that affects privacy, this page will be updated first and the “last updated” date revised. Material changes will be called out in the app release notes.
