FlewOn is a personal flight log. This policy explains what information FlewOn collects when you use flewon.com, why, who else is involved in handling it, and the choices you have. We've tried to keep it short and plain.
The short version
- We collect what you give us: your email, an optional name, your password (stored only as a secure hash) and the flights you log.
- Your flight log is private. There is no public profile and no sharing feature.
- We don't sell your information, show ads, or use advertising or analytics trackers.
- You can export your whole log, or delete your account and every flight in it, at any time from your account page.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account details — your email address, an optional display name, and your password. Passwords are stored as a one-way hash; we can't see or recover them.
- Your flight log — what you enter or import for each flight: date, flight number, airline, departure and arrival airports, times, gates, aircraft type, tail number, distance, flight time and any comments you add. FlewOn fills in some of these for you (for example distance and flight time) from the airports and times you enter.
- Imported files — when you import an Excel or CSV file, we read it to show you a preview. The file itself isn't kept. The flights from it are held in your session until you confirm or cancel the import, and only the flights you confirm are saved to your log.
- Preferences — such as the colour theme you choose on your account page.
- Messages — if you email us, we keep the conversation so we can help you.
Information collected automatically
- Sign-in and security records — when you sign in, sign up, or ask for a password reset or confirmation email, we record the email address used, your IP address and the time. We use these only to limit repeated attempts and protect accounts, and delete them after two days.
- Server logs — like most websites, our web server records basic request information (such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time) for security and troubleshooting.
We don't collect your location, contacts, or payment details, and FlewOn doesn't track live flights or your movements.
2. Cookies and local storage
FlewOn uses only what it needs to work. There are no advertising or analytics cookies.
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
flewon_sid | Keeps you signed in as you move between pages, and protects forms against forgery. | Until you close your browser |
flewon_rm | Keeps you signed in on this device, only if you tick “Keep me signed in”. | 30 days, or until you sign out |
| Local storage | Remembers how you sorted your flights table, and your colour theme so the home page opens in it. | Until you clear your browser data |
3. How we use your information
- To run FlewOn: keep your account, store your flight log, and show you your maps and stats.
- To send emails about your account: confirming your email address, password resets and security notices (such as a password change). We don't send marketing emails.
- To keep FlewOn secure, prevent abuse, and fix problems.
- To answer you when you contact us.
We don't sell or rent your personal information, use it for advertising, or make automated decisions about you.
4. Who else handles your information
We share information only with services that help us run FlewOn, and only what they need:
- Hosting — our servers and database are run by a hosting provider, which stores the data on our behalf.
- Email delivery — account emails are sent through an email delivery service (such as Amazon Web Services), which receives your email address and the message.
- Google Maps — the Airports page uses Google Maps to draw the map. To show it, your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address and information about your use of the map. The airports and routes drawn on the map are added in your browser. Google's use of this data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts — the home page loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when the fonts are downloaded.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect the rights, safety or property of our users or others, or as part of a sale or reorganisation of FlewOn, in which case this policy would continue to apply to your information.
5. How long we keep it
- Your account and flight log are kept for as long as you have an account.
- When you delete your account, your account and every flight in it are deleted from our database straight away. Copies in backups are overwritten as part of normal backup rotation.
- Sign-in and security records are deleted after two days. Password-reset and confirmation links expire and stop working after a short time.
6. Your choices and rights
- See and export your data — download your whole log as a CSV file from your account page.
- Correct it — edit any flight, or change your name, email or password on your account page.
- Delete it — delete individual flights, or your whole account and log, at any time.
- Ask us — for anything else, including a copy of the information we hold about you, email support@flewon.com.
Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under local law, such as the right to object to or restrict certain uses of your information, or to complain to a data protection authority. We'll respond to any request within the time the law requires.
7. Security
We protect your information with encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, hashed sign-in tokens, limits on repeated sign-in attempts, and protection against forged form submissions. No online service can be perfectly secure, so please use a strong password that you don't use anywhere else.
8. Children
FlewOn isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
9. Where your information is stored
Your information may be stored and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Wherever it's handled, we protect it as described in this policy.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If a change significantly affects how we use your information, we'll also let you know by email or on the site before it takes effect.
