1. Who we are

LogAloft (logaloft.com) is run by Masterpilots LLC, a Florida company at 1317 Edgewater Dr, Ste 727, Orlando, FL 32804, USA. For the personal information described here, Masterpilots LLC is the controller: we decide what is collected and why. You can reach us at Email us.

2. What this policy covers

This policy covers the LogAloft website and web app (the flight lookup and the logbook), the LogAloft email inbox, flight alerts, and email we send you. It does not cover the websites of airlines, flight-tracking services or payment providers you may reach from LogAloft; they have their own policies.

3. What we collect

When you look up a flight (no account needed)

The flight number, route and date you enter are sent to our server so it can fetch the flight's track and the space weather for that day. We keep the result for up to 7 days so the same flight isn't fetched twice. We also keep flight facts learned from lookups, such as which airports a flight number flies between, its usual departure time and aircraft type, and how it was flown (cruise levels, time in the air). These improve the estimates for flights without a track and are not linked to you. When you pick your flight from several candidates, that choice is kept with a one-way scrambled form of your IP address so one person's choice counts once; the address itself is not stored. Tracks you import from a file stay on your device.

When you create an account

When you use the inbox, alerts or commuting

Collected automatically

Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, page or function requested, time, browser type) to run and protect the service. We do not use outside analytics or advertising tools, and we do not build profiles of your behavior.

Visit counts. To learn how LogAloft is used, our server counts page visits and the features used (for example a flight lookup, an estimate, a logbook import, a sign-in email or a Pro checkout). For each visit it keeps the page, the website you came from, your country and city (from the network, not from your device's location), whether you use a phone, tablet or computer, its operating system and browser family, the size band of your screen, and your browser's language. To count visits and how long they last, each browser tab gets a random code that lives only in that tab and is forgotten when you close it; your browser also remembers that it has been here before (a yes-or-no flag, not a code), so first-time visitors can be counted. When you look up a flight, our server counts what was asked (the flight number, the airports and how the answer was found), never who asked. To count visitors once a day without cookies, it makes a code from your IP address and browser with a key that changes every day, so the code can't be turned back into either and doesn't follow you from one day to the next; your IP address itself isn't kept. These counts are never linked to your account, are combined into daily totals within two days, and are deleted after 25 months.

If a page runs into a script error, your browser sends us the error message, where in our code it happened, the page, the app version, your language and your browser type (for example "Safari on iOS"). Anything that looks like an email address or a sign-in token is removed first, and it never includes your flights or name. We keep the 50 most recent kinds of error to fix them.

Feedback

When you send feedback we receive what you typed, the name and email you chose to give, the app version, the tab you were on, your IP address and the approximate location derived from it (city, region, country), to answer you and filter abuse.

When you answer "Was this helpful?" on an article, we receive the article, your answer, the page's language, your email if you're signed in, and the approximate location of your connection (city, region, country). We don't keep or send your IP address for this.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We do not use your logbook to train AI models, and we make no automated decisions about you that have legal or similar effects.

Anonymous statistics. We may combine data from many users into statistics that cannot identify any person, such as the average yearly dose on a route, for an aircraft type or for a group of pilots, and publish them or share them with airlines, pilot associations, researchers or authorities. Every figure we share comes from at least 10 people, never includes names, emails or individual flights, and is not linked back to you. Your own logbook is never shared this way.

5. Who helps us run LogAloft

We use the service providers below. Each receives only what it needs for its task and may use it only to provide that task to us.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect the rights and safety of our users or the service, or as part of a sale or merger of the business, in which case this policy continues to apply to your data. We never give your logbook to an airline, employer or regulator unless the law compels us, and we will tell you if we can.

6. Where your data is stored

We are based in the United States, and our providers process data in the United States and the European Union. If you use LogAloft from outside the US, your information is transferred to the US. Where European or UK law applies, these transfers rely on our providers' Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, as each provider offers.

7. How long we keep it

InformationHow long

A closed account (you closed it, or we did): hidden, with its flights and backups90 days, so you can restore it; then everything is erased. Only a code made from your email address (it can't be turned back into the address), the dates and the reason are kept, to prevent abuse
An account whose email address nobody confirmedDeleted after 2 hours
Backups of your logbook (made on our servers)The last 7 days, one a week for 8 weeks, one a month for 12 months, and the last 10 you make; deleted with your account

8. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can:

European Union, United Kingdom and similar laws

You also have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection, and to complain to your local data-protection authority. We would rather hear from you first.

California and other US states

You have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it (this policy), to get a copy, to have it deleted or corrected, and not to be treated differently for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those laws define it, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond what the service needs.

For anything you can't do in the app, write to Email us from the email on your account. We answer within 30 days.

9. Security

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we will tell you without undue delay and as the law requires.

10. Cookies and browser storage

LogAloft sets no advertising or tracking cookies. It counts visits itself, without cookies (see “Visit counts” in section 3). The app keeps these in your browser's own storage:

Signing out removes the logbook copy from that device. Our typeface is served from our own site, so opening LogAloft sends no request to Google or other font services. When you open Stripe's checkout, Stripe may set its own cookies to prevent fraud.

11. Health information

We ask only for the medical details a pilot's records need: your medical certificate's class and exam date and, if you enter it, your date of birth, so the logbook can show when the medical expires. We do not ask for medical conditions, diagnoses or medications, and ask you not to enter them in remarks. The pregnancy planner works in your browser on the numbers you type and stores nothing. Dose figures are estimates for your information, not a medical record.

12. Children

LogAloft is not meant for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we update the date and version at the top. If a change affects what we collect or how we use it, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
