Information Flyte handles
Flights and travel content
Flyte stores flights you choose to track, including flight number, route, schedule, operational updates, and optional trip notes. Completed flights are used on your device to create Passport history and statistics.
Identity and profile
Live guests receive an anonymous service identity. If you sign in, Flyte may handle your email address, Sign in with Apple identifier, display name, and optional profile photo. Apple may provide a private relay address when you choose Hide My Email.
Friends and sharing
Flyte stores friend requests, connections, sharing scope, and alert preferences. Friends receive only the profile and flight information allowed by your sharing settings. Private trip notes are not part of the Watch snapshot or friend-facing flight data.
Devices and notifications
Flyte stores device notification tokens, Live Activity tokens, notification preferences, and the minimum identifiers needed to deliver alerts and keep Live Activities current. Apple Watch receives a limited flight snapshot from its paired iPhone.
Support
If you email support, Flyte receives the address, message, and attachments you choose to send. These are used only to respond and troubleshoot.
Diagnostics
iPhone builds may send Sentry crash reports, app-hang information, sampled operation timing, app and iOS versions, stable error codes, and random request-correlation identifiers. Flyte does not intentionally attach your account identity, flights, booking details, profile, calendar content, request or response bodies, authorization headers, or notification tokens to these reports.
Information that stays on your device
In local guest mode, your saved flights remain in the app container. When importing from Calendar, Flyte reads the calendars you select on your device to identify possible flights; raw calendar events are not uploaded. Camera access is used to scan a friend’s QR invite code and camera imagery is not recorded or uploaded.
How information is used
Information is used to provide flight search and tracking, synchronize your board, deliver operational alerts, power Live Activities, connect friends, show shared flights, maintain security and quotas, and answer support requests. Flyte does not sell personal information or use flight, profile, friend, calendar, or trip-note data to target advertising.
Contextual advertising
Flyte includes Google AdMob and Google’s User Messaging Platform on iPhone. When advertising is enabled, these services may process ordinary network and device information, consent choices, ad impressions, and interactions to select contextual or non-personalized ads, prevent fraud, cap delivery, and measure performance. Flyte disables ad personalization and its publisher first-party identifier, does not request Apple’s App Tracking Transparency permission, and does not send Google your flights, profile, friend list, calendar content, or trip notes.
Ads are clearly labelled and may appear only on eligible My Flights and owner flight-detail screens, or after repeated successful add/import actions. They do not appear on Apple Watch, widgets, Live Activities, friend flights, onboarding, or empty states. Where required, privacy choices are available under Profile → About → Advertising. You can also report an ad there or email support@flyte.noman.io. The in-app report includes only the ad placement, approximate display time, and app version; it does not attach flight or profile data.
Service providers and external data
Flyte uses Supabase for authentication, database, private file storage, realtime updates, and restricted server logs; Apple for sign-in, push notifications, maps, Watch connectivity, and Live Activities; Sentry for privacy-filtered iPhone crash and performance diagnostics; Google for contextual advertising and consent management; and Cloudflare to host this website. Flight, position, airport-weather, and airline-image services may receive operational identifiers such as a flight number, date, route, or airport code, along with ordinary network information needed to respond. Flyte does not send those providers your profile or friend list.
Website analytics
Marketing, privacy, terms, support, and account-deletion pages may use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It reports aggregate page, browser, device, country, and performance information without cookies and is not used to identify you across websites. Analytics is deliberately excluded from invite and authentication callback pages. Cloudflare may still process ordinary request information to securely deliver any page.
Your choices and deletion
You can change notification, sharing, friend, and available advertising privacy settings in Flyte. You may revoke Calendar, Camera, or Notifications access in iOS Settings. To erase server-held data, open Profile → Account & Data, then choose Delete Guest Data or Delete Account. Active account data and the stored profile photo are removed as part of that flow.
See the account-deletion guide or email support@flyte.noman.io if you cannot access the app.
Retention and security
Flyte keeps active service data while your anonymous identity or account is in use, and removes it when you complete the in-app deletion flow. Sentry diagnostic events are configured for a 30-day retention target. Supabase operational logs follow the retention configured for the project. Support correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain continuity, and address abuse or legal obligations. Flyte uses access controls, row-level database policies, private storage, and encrypted network connections, but no online service can promise absolute security.
Children and international processing
Flyte is not directed to children who cannot legally consent to this processing where they live. A parent or guardian should contact support about a child’s information. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to their safeguards and applicable law.
Changes and contact
This policy may change when Flyte’s features or legal obligations change. The effective date above will be updated for material revisions. Questions and privacy requests can be sent to support@flyte.noman.io.
