Privacy Policy

Introduction

flyCowboys (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use flycowboys.io, purchase a web subscription, or use our mobile application for pilot training and education.

Educational Purpose Statement

flyCowboys is designed as a supplemental educational tool for student pilots and aviation enthusiasts. This app is NOT a replacement for certified flight training, official FAA materials, or professional flight instruction. Users must not rely solely on this app for flight training or preparation for FAA examinations.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as:

• Account information (email address, name, password)
• Study progress and performance data
• Self-reported skill level and experience
• Payment information (processed securely through third-party providers)
• Device information and usage analytics
• Subscription, transaction, billing-country, and tax information supplied by Stripe, Apple, or RevenueCat
• When you consent to advertising measurement: Meta cookie identifiers, ad-click identifiers, IP address, browser user agent, and campaign parameters

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide personalized learning experiences
• Track your study progress and achievements
• Improve our educational content and app functionality
• Send study reminders and progress updates (with your consent)
• Process payments and manage subscriptions
• Measure advertising performance and prevent duplicate conversion reporting when you consent or another lawful basis applies
• Prevent fraud, secure checkout, and troubleshoot failed account setup
• Comply with legal obligations

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for:

• Payment and subscription processing (Stripe, RevenueCat, and Apple App Store)
• Authentication, database, and secure cloud services (Supabase)
• Transactional account email delivery (Resend)
• Consented advertising measurement (Meta Pixel and Conversions API)

These third parties have their own privacy policies and we recommend reviewing them.

Cookies and Advertising Choices

Our website stores essential data needed to operate checkout and may store campaign parameters for the current browser session. We load the Meta Pixel and send matching information through Meta's Conversions API only when our consent or lawful-basis policy permits it. You can decline optional advertising cookies in the website banner. Declining does not prevent checkout or app access.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access and update your personal information
• Delete your account and associated data
• Opt-out of promotional communications
• Decline or withdraw optional advertising-cookie consent
• Request a copy of your data

Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected information from your child, please contact us.

FAA Compliance Notice

We do not share your personal information with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) unless required by law. Your study progress and performance in this app are not reported to any aviation authority, flight school, or training organization unless you explicitly choose to share such information.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide the service, secure transactions, resolve disputes, and meet tax, accounting, and legal obligations. Payment providers may retain transaction records under their own policies. You may request deletion of your FlyCowboys account and eligible data at any time.

International Users

If you are accessing our app from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new policy on the website and in the app where appropriate, and update the “Last updated” date.
