Privacy Policy

PAxMan — Last updated 18 August 2026

PAxMan is built to need as little of your data as possible. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. The developer collects nothing about you.

What stays on your device

Everything the app remembers lives only on your iPhone or iPad, inside the app's private storage:

• your briefing log, including routes, dates, flight times and the briefing text itself
• your XP, level, streak and badges
• your preferences: home base, captain's name, usual aircraft, default voice, shape and speaking time

This is never uploaded anywhere by the app. It is removed when you delete PAxMan, and you can erase it at any time from Setup → Danger zone → Reset log and progress. It may be included in your own iCloud or computer device backup, which is under your control, not ours.

ATC flight plans you paste in are parsed on your device and nothing else is done with them. The filed ICAO plan carries no NOTAMs, no crew, no load sheet and no company briefing material, which is why PAxMan accepts it as an alternative to the full package. From it the app derives the route timeline you see on the card — positions, elapsed times, airspace names, whether the sun is up — and only that derived timeline reaches an AI engine if you have configured one.

Flight plans (OFP PDFs) you import are read entirely on your device: PAxMan opens the PDF's text layer with iOS's own PDF reader and pulls out the fields shown to you on the import card. The PDF itself is never uploaded and never copied into the app — only those recognised fields are kept, alongside the rest of the briefing. NOTAMs, crew rosters, fuel policy, diversion planning and significant-weather bulletins are not extracted, and weather bulletins that are read stay on the device: they are shown to you under "flight-deck detail" and are never sent to an AI engine.

API keys you enter are stored in the iOS Keychain. They are never written to the app's log file, never shown after saving, and are only ever sent in the authorisation header of a request to the provider you chose.

What leaves your device

PAxMan makes exactly two kinds of network request.

1. Weather (always, unless you are offline). To work out the conditions at your destination, the app asks Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) for a forecast. The request contains the latitude and longitude of the destination airport and a date range. It contains no identifier, no personal data and nothing you typed. Open-Meteo's terms: https://open-meteo.com/en/terms

2. Your chosen AI provider (only if you configure one). The built-in PixelWriter engine is the default and sends nothing — it writes on your device. If you switch to another engine in Setup, the flight details you entered are sent to that provider's API so it can write the briefing. That includes the route, times, computed weather, and any optional fields you filled in, which may include a captain's name or a note about a passenger occasion. If you imported a flight plan, it also includes the compact digest shown on the import card — flight number, registration, cruise levels, distance, airspace, passenger count, fuel and any cabin-affecting item — but never the PDF and never the parts of it listed above. Choose what you type accordingly.

Providers you can select, each governed by its own privacy policy: OpenRouter, Groq, Google (Gemini), OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, or any custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint you point the app at.

What we never do

• We do not sell, rent or share your data. There is nothing to sell — none of it reaches us.
• We do not use tracking technologies, advertising identifiers or third-party analytics SDKs.
• We do not build a profile of you.

Children

PAxMan is a professional tool for flight crew. It is not directed at children and is not designed for them.

Your rights

Under the GDPR and similar laws you have the right to access, correct, export and erase your personal data. Because the developer holds no personal data about you, there is nothing on our side to access or erase. The data on your device is entirely under your control: reset it in the app, or delete the app.
