Pilot IQ (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the platform at getpilotiq.ai. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our AI-powered pilot training platform.
When you create an account, we collect your full name, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash). If you sign up through an instructor invite or school code, we also record that association.
To provide AI-powered debriefs and track your progress, we collect flight session data you log including: session dates, flight and ground hours, aircraft tail numbers, airport identifiers, session types, takeoffs and landings, weather conditions, focus areas, and personal notes. If you are pursuing instrument or commercial ratings, we also track IMC time and approach types.
When you upload or email a track log file (ForeFlight CSV, GPX, or G1000 format), we parse and store the GPS coordinates, altitude, groundspeed, and timing data from your flights. Track logs are subsampled to a maximum of 500 points per flight for storage. This data is used for AI flight analysis, approach scoring, and route visualization.
If you choose to provide it, we store your medical class and expiration date, current certificates held, and certificate goal. This information is used solely to tailor your training experience and readiness assessment.
If you are a CFI or DPE, we collect your professional information including certificate numbers, ratings, and flight school affiliations. Instructor debriefs and student evaluations are stored to support the training relationship.
We automatically collect basic usage analytics through Vercel Speed Insights to understand how our platform performs. We use Sentry for error monitoring to identify and fix bugs. These services may collect browser type, device information, and interaction data.
We use the information we collect to:
Your flight data, track logs, and instructor notes are processed by AI systems (currently Anthropic's Claude) to generate debriefs, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and flag safety concerns. AI-generated analysis is clearly labeled as such throughout the platform. AI outputs are advisory only and do not constitute flight instruction or replace the judgment of a certified flight instructor.
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
We retain your account and flight training data for as long as your account is active. Flight logs and AI debriefs are retained indefinitely to provide historical progress tracking — many pilots reference training records years later for insurance, employment, or recurrency purposes. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, though anonymized and aggregated data may be retained.
We implement industry-standard security measures including: encrypted data transmission (TLS), hashed passwords (bcrypt), secure session management, and access controls. Our database is hosted in encrypted-at-rest infrastructure. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Pilot IQ is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
