Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 18, 2026
What we collect
- Account info: email, display name, and (optionally) full name, avatar, phone, home airport, city, state, bio, and pilot status.
- Listing content: business info, contact methods, rates, photos, and descriptions you submit.
- Contact messages: when you contact a listing through the site, we store the message so the owner can read and respond.
- Reports: if you report a listing, we store the report for moderation review.
- Usage data: standard server logs, basic analytics (page views, country, device class — never personal browsing history).
How we use it
- To operate the directory and show listings to other users.
- To send transactional email (account verification, password reset, contact-message notifications).
- To prevent abuse, fraud, and unsafe content.
- To improve the product through aggregate analytics.
What we publish
Profile fields you fill in (display name, home airport, bio) and the content of any listing you submit are publicly visible. Your email address is NOT shown to other users unless you explicitly include it in a listing's contact info — we recommend using the in-site contact form instead.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers required to run the site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processing) and as required by law.
Cookies & analytics
We use first-party cookies for authentication and a privacy-respecting analytics service that does not use third-party tracking cookies. We do not run cross-site advertising trackers.
Your choices
- Edit or remove any listing you own from your "My Listings" page.
- Update or remove profile fields from your account.
- Request account deletion at any time by emailing privacy@nearbyflyer.com.
Children
The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Security
We use industry-standard encryption (TLS in transit, encrypted storage at rest) and strict database access controls. No system is perfectly secure — please use a strong, unique password.
