The short version
- Friends see only what you choose to share. Strangers never see you.
- We never show your live location to anyone you haven't approved.
- We don't sell your personal information or use it for third-party advertising.
- Deleting your account deletes your trips, friends, guesses and device tokens.
What we collect
On the website
- Pre-boarding list
- Your email address, plus the site or link that sent you to us if there was one. We may also ask for your home airport.
- Contact form
- Your name, email address, the topic you pick and your message.
- Shop
- Orders are placed and paid on shop.runwayclub.app, which is run by Fourthwall. Fourthwall handles your payment and shipping details. We receive your email address and order totals so we can credit points to your account.
In the app
- Account
- Your email address or Apple sign-in identifier, a display name and, if you add one, a photo and home airport.
- Trips
- Flights you add or import, and the friends you choose to share them with.
- Friends
- Who you're connected with and the sharing level you set for each person.
- Daily Flight and league
- Your guesses, scores, league membership and picks.
- Notifications
- Device tokens so we can send flight alerts and Live Activities to your iPhone.
- Location
- We don't collect your location by default. If a future feature needs it, we will ask first, use the least precise location that works, and only while the feature is on.
How we use it
- To run the app: show your trips, send alerts, score your guesses and run your leagues.
- To email you about your pre-boarding spot, launch news and replies to messages you send us.
- To keep Runway Club safe, fix problems and prevent abuse.
- To understand, in aggregate, which features people use, so we can improve them.
Any destination or travel suggestions are generated on our side from your own settings. We don't pass your identity to partners to make them.
Who helps us run it
We use a small set of service providers. They process information only to provide their service to us.
- Supabase
- Database, sign-in and server functions.
- Vercel
- Website hosting and our domain.
- Resend
- Sending email from hello@runwayclub.app.
- Forward Email
- Delivering email sent to hello@runwayclub.app to our inbox.
- Fourthwall

- Apple
- App distribution, Sign in with Apple, push notifications and in-app purchases.
- Flight data providers
- We request flight status by flight number and date. They never receive your name or email.
We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect people's safety, or as part of a sale or merger of Runway Club, in which case this policy continues to apply.
How long we keep it
- Pre-boarding list: until you ask us to remove you, or until launch emails end.
- Contact messages: up to 24 months, then deleted.
- Account data: until you delete your account. Deletion removes your trips, friends, guesses and device tokens. Backups roll off within 30 days.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your information at any time. Use the contact form and pick "Privacy request", or email hello@runwayclub.app. We reply within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under local law, such as in California, the UK or the EU, and we honor them.
Children
Runway Club isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has signed up, contact us and we'll delete the account.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit. Every table in our database has row-level rules, so the app can read only what your account is allowed to see. Your guesses can be written by you; your scores can't.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll tell you in the app or by email before they take effect.
