Privacy

Short version: we record how the aircraft were flown, because that data is the point of the project. We ask for an email so we can send you the downloads and tell you when the airpark moves forward. We do not sell it, share it, or hand it to advertisers.

Flights

Every flight in the sim is recorded — how the aircraft moved, how fast, how high, how it was landed or crashed, and how much energy it used. This happens whether or not you have an account, and we consider it part of running the simulator rather than something we ask permission for each time. It is flight data, not personal data: the record is about the aircraft, and if you are not signed in there is nothing in it that identifies you.

That data trains the autopilot we are building and tells us how real people fly the aircraft we are designing. If you are signed in, your flights are linked to your account so you can see your own history and appear on the leaderboard.

Your account

If you create one, we hold your username, your email address, and — if you accepted the download licence — the fact and time of that acceptance. Passwords are stored hashed by our authentication provider; we never see them. If you sign in with Google we receive your email address and nothing else from your Google account.

Your username is public: it appears on the leaderboard and, if your work ships as a world option, in the credits. Your email address is not public.

What we send you

A confirmation email when you sign up, and occasional updates about new worlds, releases and airpark progress. Every one of them has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing does not close your account.

Who else touches it

Our hosting and authentication run on third-party infrastructure (Fly.io and Supabase), which necessarily processes this data to store and serve it. Nobody else receives it. We do not run advertising trackers, and there is no analytics pixel on the sim.

Deleting it

Ask and we will delete your account, your email address and the link between you and your flights. The flight records themselves stay, anonymised — they are engineering measurements at that point, with nothing in them pointing back to you.
