Effective 27 July 2026 · Applies to the FlightX mobile app, the FlightX Jump watch app for Garmin, the FX Data Tracker app for Apple Watch, and flightxapp.com
This Privacy Policy is issued by Equipoised Enterprises Pty Ltd (ABN 49 692 667 986), an Australian proprietary limited company trading as FlightX, of 32A Aldinga Beach Road, Aldinga Beach, South Australia 5173 (contact: hello@flightxapp.com) — the data controller for the personal information described below.
FlightX is built by skydivers, for skydivers. We collect the minimum needed to run your logbook and progression tools, we don't run ads, and we never sell your data. This page explains exactly what is collected, where it lives, and how to get it removed.
FlightX Jump (Garmin) records altitude, vertical speed, G-force, GPS position, and heart rate only while you record a jump. When you link it with a pair code, each saved jump is sent over an encrypted connection (via your phone) to your own FlightX account inbox — nowhere else. Unlinking is one tap on the watch (Unpair FlightX) or regenerate your code in the app. The activity file the watch saves to Garmin Connect is governed by Garmin's privacy policy.
FX Data Tracker (Apple Watch) works the same way: it records barometric altitude, vertical speed, GPS position, and motion only while a jump is armed, and reads your heart rate through Apple HealthKit during the workout session it runs for the jump. Each saved jump is sent over an encrypted connection to your own FlightX account inbox using your pair code, and nowhere else. Health data from HealthKit is used only to show your heart rate on your own jumps; we never use it for advertising or marketing, never sell it, and never share it with third parties. The workout the watch writes to Apple Health stays on your device under Apple's privacy terms. Unpair any time on the watch (Settings → Unpair this watch), and you can revoke Health and location access in your Watch settings.
If you join the Test Pilot Program and switch on Share recording data (Settings → Test Pilot Program, off by default), each jump you record uploads its full-resolution sensor track (the 5 Hz barometer, motion, and GPS samples) to FlightX. We use it for one purpose: measuring and improving how accurately the app records your flight. A full track is a precise location history that can reveal where you jump and live, so we store it against your account only, never sell it, and never publish it. Switch it back off at any time in the same place to stop all future uploads.
If you use the Canopy Passport to log a canopy, we collect the equipment details you enter: canopy model, serial number, date of manufacture, line-set type and installation history, repair history, jump and flight-hour exposure, environment, and ownership history. FlightX does not verify any of this data and it is not a substitute for your rigger's own log.
Some of this may be personal information about someone other than you. If a rigger signs off on a line-set install or a repair, we store their name and a drawn signature image against that record. The rigger does not create a FlightX account and receives no communication from us as a result. We hold their name and signature only as part of the maintenance record you asked them to sign, for the purpose above. If a rigger wants their name or signature removed from a record, they or you can email hello@flightxapp.com.
The Canopy Registry. When you log a canopy with a serial number, FlightX also keeps a de-identified service-history entry for that wing in a shared Canopy Registry, so a future owner, buyer, or rigger has a starting point on its provenance. Before an entry is created, we remove your identity and your rigger's name and signature — the Registry holds the wing's service history, not a record of the people who touched it. Full detail on how the Registry works is in Terms of Use, section 9.8.
FlightX runs on Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions, hosted in Google Cloud data centres in the United States). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is restricted by per-user security rules — your jumps are yours.
Transactional and program emails, such as address verification and Test Pilot invitations, are sent through Brevo. Brevo processes your email address and delivery events under its own privacy terms and does not use your data for advertising.
Some features are social by design: group posts, dropzone check-ins, leaderboards, and share cards display your display name and the content you post. Everything social is opt-in per action — log privately by default, share when you choose.
We keep your account data, logbook, Canopy Passport records (including any rigger signatures you captured), telemetry, and heart-rate samples for as long as your account is active, so your logbook stays complete. Delete your account and all of it goes with it — your canopies, their repair and line-set history, and any rigger signatures are removed within 30 days, along with watch telemetry and HealthKit-sourced heart rate. Only the de-identified Canopy Registry entry can remain, and it never carried your identity or your rigger's to begin with.
Email hello@flightxapp.com from your account address to request a copy of your data, correct something, or delete your account and its data entirely. Deletion requests are honoured within 30 days. EU/UK and similar jurisdictions: this covers your access, rectification, erasure, and portability rights.
FlightX is for licensed skydivers and students under instruction — it is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
If this policy changes materially, we'll note it in the app and update the effective date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
