Privacy Policy
Who we are
Final Fix is a pilot training app by AG Development LLC, an Arizona limited liability company ("we"). This policy explains what the app collects, why, who helps us run it and the choices you have. Questions: support@finalfixapp.com.
What we collect
An account. The first time you open Final Fix it creates an anonymous account for you, with no name, email or password. If you choose "Save your account", we also keep the email address you confirm with a 6-digit code, or the sign-in Apple gives us when you use Sign in with Apple (if you pick "Hide my email", that is an Apple relay address, not your real one).
Your profile. Your username (shown on leaderboards), a friend code, the states, airplanes, ratings, training tracks and home airport you pick at sign-up, and your logo (an emblem, or a photo you choose; a photo is shrunk and saved with your progress).
Your training progress, backed up so it follows you to a new phone: lessons and tests passed, XP, level, gallons, streak days, badges, answers you got wrong (for Review), how many questions you answered right in each lesson (for readiness by ACS area), drills, reminders settings, E6B favorites, and anything you log yourself, such as checkride dates, flights for the currency tracker and a checkride date for the countdown.
Friends and groups. The friends you add with a friend code. If you join an instructor or a flight school with their code, the fact that you joined them. Practice an instructor assigns you (the lesson or trainer, their note, the due date and whether you finished it), and whether you chose to share your weak areas with them.
CFI-Bot. The questions you type to CFI-Bot, your oral exam answers and stage check questions you paste in are sent to our server and to Anthropic (below) to write the answer. We keep a count of how many questions you asked, to enforce the hourly and daily limits. Stage check plans are saved only on your phone.
Approach briefings. When you brief an approach out loud, your speech is turned into text on your phone and the audio never leaves your phone; the text of your briefing, with the FAA facts of that approach, is sent to our server and to Anthropic (below) to grade it, like a CFI-Bot question.
Reports. If you report a leaderboard name, we keep who reported which name.
Final Fix Pro. If you subscribe, we keep whether your subscription is active, which plan it is (monthly or yearly), when the current period ends, whether it will renew and whether the App Store had a billing problem. We get this from RevenueCat (below), never your card or Apple ID details. If your flight school has a school plan, we use your school membership to give you Pro.
Usage limits. To stop abuse (for example checking usernames too fast), our server briefly counts requests per account or per device internet address. These counts are not used for anything else.
We do not collect your location, contacts, or any payment details (Apple handles Final Fix Pro payments). There are no ads and no tracking across other apps or websites. The app has no analytics service.
What stays on your phone
Streak, Plate of the day and homework reminders are scheduled on your phone; we never get a push token. Your scratch-pad notes (copy a clearance) and stage check plans stay on your phone. Weather (aviationweather.gov, NOAA) and FAA charts are loaded by your phone straight from those government websites, which see your phone’s internet address like any website does.
What other pilots can see
On leaderboards, other pilots see your username (or "Pilot" and a number until you pick one), your streak, XP and waypoints. Friends you add see the same. They never see your email, your sign-in or your answers.
If you join an instructor (CFI) with their code, that instructor sees a summary of your training: level, streak, waypoints, tests passed, the last day you trained and your tracks. They can assign you practice and see whether you finished it. They never see your missed questions or your answers.
Sharing your weak areas is your choice. For each instructor you can turn on "Also share my weak areas" (it stays off unless you turn it on). Then that instructor also sees how many questions you answered right in each lesson, shown as readiness by area of the FAA Airman Certification Standards and the areas to work on. Never the questions themselves or your answers. You can turn it off at any time.
If you join a flight school, its members see your username, track, XP and streak on the school leaderboard. The school’s chief instructor (the person who started the school, or the member it passed to) also sees the same training summary an instructor sees, whether you are an instructor and how many school members are your students.
A school’s chief instructor can add the school’s aircraft numbers, local procedure questions and a logo, which the school’s members see in the app.
Instructors and flight school chief instructors with a saved email get a short weekly summary email about their students (the same names and summary they see in the app, never your email or answers), and can turn it off with "Weekly email report" on the Students tab or the Flight school screen.
Instructors who ask for free Final Fix Pro send the name on their pilot certificate and the certificate number. We use them only to look the instructor up in the FAA’s public airmen registry; they are never shown to anyone, and they are deleted with the account.
You can leave an instructor or a school at any time, and they stop seeing your information.
Who helps us run the app
Supabase stores accounts and backups and runs our server code (United States).
Anthropic writes CFI-Bot’s answers. It gets the question and the training details needed to answer it (such as your ratings), never your email or name. Anthropic’s commercial terms do not let it train its models on this data.
Resend sends the sign-in code emails and the weekly report email for instructors, so it sees the email address it sends to and what that email says.
RevenueCat handles Final Fix Pro subscriptions for us. It receives an anonymous app user id (a random account number, not your name or email) and the purchase records the App Store sends for that id (plan, price, dates, renewals and refunds), and tells our server whether your subscription is active. It never gets your card details.
Apple provides Sign in with Apple and delivers the app (TestFlight and the App Store).
We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not share it for advertising.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and backup while you have an account. Usage-limit counts are deleted after about a day. When you leave an instructor, the practice they assigned you is deleted. When you delete your account, your profile, progress backup, friends, group memberships, assigned practice and reports are deleted from our server right away; copies in our host’s routine backups expire on their own schedule.
Your choices
Delete your account in the app: Profile → Delete my account. This deletes everything on our server and resets the app on your phone.
Change your username in Profile at any time, leave an instructor or school, turn sharing your weak areas on or off, turn the weekly email report off, remove friends from the leaderboard, and turn reminders off.
To ask for a copy of your information or anything else about your privacy, email support@finalfixapp.com.
Children
Final Fix is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child under 13 has an account, email us and we will delete it.
Security
Your information travels encrypted (HTTPS). On our server each account can only read its own rows; leaderboards and instructor views go through checks that return names and numbers only. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and keep only what the app needs.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
