Privacy Policy

Effective 13 June 2026 · Applies to the FlightX mobile app, the FlightX Jump watch app for Garmin, and flightxapp.com

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.

1. What we collect

Account details — your email address, display name, and sign-in credentials, handled by Google Firebase Authentication.
Logbook & profile data you enter — jumps, dropzones, gear, licences, course progress, challenges, and notes.
Flight telemetry you choose to import or sync — FlySight GPS tracks, Garmin FIT files, and jumps synced from the FlightX Jump watch app (altitude, vertical speed, G-force, and heart rate samples recorded during a jump).
Photos you choose to share — when you create a share card or Moment, only the final rendered image is uploaded.
Social activity — group posts, check-ins, and reactions you make inside FlightX, visible to the audiences you post them to.
Basic diagnostics — crash reports and anonymised usage signals that help us fix bugs.

2. The Garmin watch app

FlightX Jump 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.

3. Where it lives

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.

4. What we never do

No selling or renting your personal data. Ever.
No third-party advertising or ad trackers.
No reading your photo library — you pick what's shared, and rendered share images don't carry photo location metadata.
No medical claims — heart-rate data is shown for training interest only.

5. Sharing you control

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.

6. Your rights

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.

7. Age

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.

8. Changes

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.
