Privacy Policy

What data we collect

Public FAA records. Mechanic names, certificate types, and city-level locations are sourced from the FAA Airmen Certification Database, which is public data released by the federal government. We do not collect or display street addresses of individual mechanics.

Claim form submissions. When a mechanic claims their listing, we collect their email address, phone number (optional), shop name, website, and services offered. This information is submitted voluntarily and displayed on their public profile.

How we use your data

• Email addresses from claim forms are used only to manage listings. We do not share them with third parties or send marketing emails.
• Phone numbers and other contact details submitted via claim forms are displayed on the mechanic's public profile, as intended by the submission.
• We use Netlify Forms to process claim submissions. Netlify's privacy policy applies to form data in transit and storage.

Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across websites. It collects only anonymous page view and event data (e.g., which pages are visited and which buttons are clicked) to help us improve the site. All data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.

Third-party services

• Netlify hosts this site and processes form submissions.
• Google Fonts serves the typefaces used on this site.
• Umami Cloud provides cookie-free, privacy-focused analytics.
