Privacy Policy

Who we are
What data we collect and why
- Email address and a hashed password — to create your account, sign you in, and send account emails (confirmation, password reset, email change).
- Sign-in provider identifiers (e.g. Microsoft) — only if you choose to sign in with a third-party account.
- Flight plans you create (routes, waypoints and nav logs) — stored so you can save and reload your work. The shape of a route may additionally feed an anonymous shared collection, stripped of anything you typed; the terms explain what that means.
- Tours you create (the name, the goal in your own words, the briefing, the outline you draw, notes on its points, and a record of where you actually landed and when) — a tour is a binder around many flights, and everything in it is written by you. Stored so a long journey survives between sessions.
- Screenshots you attach to a flight — stored as JPEG copies for telling the story of the flight, and shown only to you. They are lossy copies, not your originals: keep your own.
- Problems you report — what you were doing, what you expected, and the context the page attaches: which plan you had open, its route, the build, and your browser's user-agent string. Sent to us by email as well as kept, so that the same fault reported three times reads as one bug rather than three mails a week apart.
- Your nav log settings (whether calculated values start visible, and which aircraft you picked as yours) — stored so the nav log opens the way you left it. They are included in the copy you can download.
Our lawful basis for processing your account data is performance of a contract — providing the service you asked for (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). We do not use your data for advertising and we do not sell it.

Who your data reaches
We share your data with nobody by choice. What follows is what using the service entails — above all the map, which cannot draw itself without your browser asking somebody for tiles.
- Map tiles. The interactive map loads chart tiles directly in your browser from OpenFreeMap (the default base map), OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap, Open Flightmaps and (for US charts) Esri/ArcGIS. Those providers therefore receive your IP address and the map area you view — not because we send it to them, but because that is how a tiled map is drawn. The Esri/ArcGIS request involves a transfer to the United States.
- Weather and navigation data. METAR, winds-aloft, terrain, magnetic-variation and airport lookups are made by our server (not your browser) and send only coordinates or station codes — no personal data.
- Email delivery. Account emails are sent through an email provider, which processes your email address to deliver them.
- Signing in with Microsoft. Only if you choose it. Your browser goes to Microsoft, which tells us your account identifier and email address once you approve. Microsoft learns that you signed in to SimNavLog; we never see your Microsoft password. This involves a transfer to the United States.
Your rights
- Access / export your data — download a copy from your account settings .
- Rectify your data — change your email or password from account settings.
- Erase your account — delete it from account settings. Your account, sign-in tokens, personal nav logs and tours are removed — a tour goes with its outline, its notes and its record of what you flew. Two things are kept, both detached from you and holding nothing that identifies you: the routes you created — the bare lists of waypoints, without the nav logs around them — which may feed the shared route collection the terms describe; and any problem you reported, kept as an anonymous record of a fault so that fixing it does not depend on your account still existing.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. Ours is the Swedish Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY) .
Where your data is stored
Data retention
The beta ending is not a retention event. An account made during the beta is an account, and the plans and tours in it are kept on the same terms as any other. We set no date at which beta data is cleared.
