Privacy Policy

What we collect

FlyRegs does not require an account to use. Browsing the entire library, searching, viewing a document's table of contents and opening preview, and your Recents (viewing history) all happen locally on your device — no sign-in needed.

The only time you're asked to create an account is when you start a Pro or Premium subscription. That account is a single record — your email address, used to authenticate you and tie your subscription to your device — and by itself it doesn't unlock or change anything. It becomes meaningful only together with an active subscription. We never sell your data.

Bookmarks, notes, folders & on-device data

By default, and for every subscription tier, your bookmarks, notes, custom folders, and Recents history are stored privately on your device and are never uploaded to our servers.

If you're a signed-in Premium subscriber, you can explicitly turn on Back up & sync — it is an opt-in toggle, not something enabled automatically by subscribing to Premium. Once turned on, your bookmarks, notes, and folders are stored in your account so they survive a reinstall and sync across your devices.

Sharing features

Premium lets you share documents, notes, and folders with other people — for example, a CFI sharing a folder with students. Content you choose to share is visible to the people you share it with; it isn't made public.

Notifications

Premium subscribers can opt in to Update Alerts (Account → Notifications) to be notified when new or revised content is published. If you enable this, we use Expo's push notification service to deliver alerts to your device, which requires sharing your device's push token with Expo. This also requires your device's own notification permission — if you've denied notifications at the OS level, our in-app toggle can't override that.

Analytics

We collect anonymous, aggregated usage metrics (for example, which screens are opened) to improve the app. These metrics are not tied to your identity and never include the contents of your notes, folders, or searches.

Third parties we use

We rely on a small number of service providers to run FlyRegs, and each only receives what it needs to do its job:

Supabase — handles account authentication, and, only if you (a signed-in Premium subscriber) enable Back up & sync, stores your synced bookmarks, notes, and folders.
RevenueCat — tracks your subscription/entitlement status (Free, Pro, or Premium, and whether it's active) against your account. RevenueCat never receives your payment details.
Expo — delivers push notifications for Premium subscribers who opt in to Update Alerts, using your device's push token only.

Subscriptions & payment

Payment is processed directly by Apple or Google — we never see your card details. We receive a subscription status (active or not, and which tier) from the app store and from RevenueCat, our subscription-management provider. Subscriptions auto-renew and are managed and cancelled through your App Store or Google Play account settings.

Source content

Regulatory and guidance text and documents presented in FlyRegs are published by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and are in the public domain. FlyRegs organizes and presents this material but does not alter the official content.

Data retention & deletion

Account data (your email, and any synced bookmarks, notes, or folders if you've enabled Back up & sync) is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, this data is removed from our servers, though some information may persist in backups for a limited period before being purged.

Children's privacy

FlyRegs is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices

You can delete your account at any time from Account → Delete Account, which removes your email and any synced bookmarks, notes, or folders from our servers. You can also turn Back up & sync off at any time — your data then stays local to your device going forward.
