Privacy policy

In short

FlightGenius is a daily aviation quiz game. We collect as little as possible: no ads, no tracking, no selling of data.

As a guest, everything stays on your phone. If you sign in, we store your email (to sign you in), your flyer card (name, home airport, picture) and your Daily Challenge scores (for the leaderboard). You can delete your account in the app at any time.

Who is responsible

FlightGenius is an independent app made in Switzerland ("we"), responsible for the data described here. Contact for all privacy questions and requests about your data: hello@flightgenius.ch.

Data saved only on your phone

Your game results, streak, statistics, settings, checklist ticks and your flyer card are saved on your device. This data never leaves your phone unless you sign in. Deleting the app (or "Delete all data on this phone" in Settings) removes it.

Data we store when you sign in

Email address: only to send you a one-time sign-in code and to recognise your account. We do not send newsletters or marketing.

Flyer card: the name you choose, your home airport, your profile picture and whether you have the gold frame. These are shown publicly on the leaderboard, so please do not use your full real name if you prefer not to. Flyer names are unique: we check that a name is free and follows the name rules.

Daily Challenge results: points, number of correct answers, total time and the coloured result row, per day. Shown on the leaderboard (world and home airport).

Results of today's games: the points of your first try of each game, per day. Shown on the "Today's games" leaderboard and added to your home airport's total.

Technical data: an account ID, the time of sign-in and of each result, and the technical logs our hosting provider keeps for security (for example IP address), for a short time.

Why (legal basis): to provide the game and the leaderboard you asked for (contract), and to keep the service safe and fair, e.g. against cheating (legitimate interest).

Notifications

Daily reminders and the streak saver are planned on your phone. No data is sent to us for them. You can switch them off in the app's Settings or in your phone's Settings.

Purchases

Purchases (Premium and support packs) are handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We never see your card or bank details; we only receive confirmation of what you bought, to unlock it in the app. When purchases go live, a purchase service (RevenueCat) may process an anonymous app user ID and your purchase history for this.

No ads, no tracking

The app shows no advertising, for free and paying players alike, and contains no advertising or tracking tools. We do not build profiles about you and we never sell personal data.

Service providers

Supabase (Supabase Inc.): our database and sign-in service. Your data is stored on servers in Frankfurt, Germany (EU).

Resend (Resend Inc.): sends the sign-in code emails. It processes your email address and the email content.

Apple and Google: app stores, purchases and the operating systems that deliver the app.

These providers process data only on our behalf and under data processing agreements. Some of them are US companies; where data may be accessed from outside Switzerland or the EU, it is protected by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the Swiss-US / EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

How long we keep data

Account data and scores: as long as your account is in use. When you delete your account in the app (Settings → Delete my account), your account, flyer card and all your scores are deleted from our database immediately; copies in backups disappear within a few weeks.

Inactive accounts: if you do not open the app while signed in for 90 days, your account, flyer card and scores are deleted automatically, and your flyer name becomes free for other players. Games saved on your phone are not affected.

Sign-in emails: kept by the email provider for a short time for delivery and abuse prevention.

Your rights

You can ask to see the data we have about you, to correct it, to delete it, to receive it in a common format, and to object to its use. Most of this you can do yourself in the app; otherwise write to us. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, in the EU, to your local data protection authority.

Children

FlightGenius is not directed at children under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child gave us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We update this policy when the app changes (for example when new features arrive). The date below shows the latest version. Last updated: 5 November 2026.
