When you register for and use FlightChecked, we collect:

Whether supply is obligatory: Your name, email address, and organization are required to create an account; if you do not provide them, you will not be able to register. All other information is provided voluntarily.

If you choose to sign in using Sign in with Apple or Google, we receive an authentication token and the name and email address associated with that account in order to create and secure your FlightChecked account. We do not receive your Apple or Google password. See Section 1.8 for details on the data we receive from Google.

To provide our services, we collect:

With your permission, the App can read your device calendar to import your flight roster and sync flights you choose, and can import flight schedules from iCalendar (.ics) files you open or share with the App. We only access the calendar events and files needed to import the flights you select. You can revoke calendar access at any time through your device settings.

If you purchase a subscription, payment is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, and subscription management is handled through our payments partner, RevenueCat. We receive your subscription status, purchase history, and transaction identifiers, together with a user identifier and limited device information used for subscription entitlement and analytics. We do not collect or store your full payment card details.

How we store and protect it: Google user data is stored with your account, encrypted in transit and at rest, and protected by the measures described in Section 6.

Retention and deletion: We keep this data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account in the App (Settings, then Profile Settings, then Delete Account), your Google user data is deleted along with your account.

We use third-party artificial intelligence models to decode and summarise NOTAMs. Only the publicly published NOTAM text is sent for this analysis — your identity, your routes, your flights, and your aircraft details are never included, and the analysis is performed once for all users rather than per flight.

The one exception is content you choose to publish: if you post a comment, the text of that comment is sent to a third-party AI model for moderation before it becomes visible to others.
