Privacy Statement

FLY8HT is built to be local-first, and that shapes this statement more than anything else: the desktop app doesn’t phone home, and there’s no FLY8HT server that your projects, code, or build output ever touch. This page covers exactly what the desktop app and this website (fly8ht.app) do and don’t collect.

1. The desktop app collects nothing

FLY8HT the application sends no telemetry, analytics, crash reports, or usage data anywhere. Every project you import, every build it runs, every environment variable you configure, and every setting you change is stored in a local database on your own machine. It is never uploaded, never synced and never seen by us. Deleting the app removes that data with it.

2. What this website collects

The website itself is a static marketing and download site. Visiting it, or downloading FLY8HT from it, doesn’t require an account and collects nothing beyond the ordinary web server logs any host keeps (like your IP address and browser type, retained briefly for security and abuse prevention).

If you choose to sign in (which is entirely optional and unrelated to using the desktop app), we receive whatever your chosen provider (Google, Microsoft, GitHub) or your email address gives us: your name, email address, and profile picture. That’s used only to show you’re signed in on this website. We don’t use it for marketing email, and we don’t sell or share it with advertisers.

3. Third-party services we rely on

These do some of the technical work behind the website:

• Clerk handles sign-in and stores your account profile (name, email, avatar) on our behalf. See Clerk’s own privacy policy.
• Vercel hosts this website and keeps standard server access logs.
• GitHub Releases hosts the actual downloadable installer files; downloading one is a direct request to GitHub’s own servers.

4. Cookies

The website uses only the strictly-necessary cookies Clerk sets to keep you signed in. We use no advertising or analytics cookies. See our Cookie Statement for the full detail.

5. Data retention

Your website account (if you have one) and its associated profile data are kept until you delete your account or ask us to remove it. Nothing about your local FLY8HT projects is ever retained by us in the first place, since it never reaches us.

6. Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the account data described above at any time by contacting us (below) or, for most providers, by disconnecting/deleting your account directly through Clerk’s own sign-in flow.

7. Children’s privacy

FLY8HT isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them.

8. Changes to this statement

If we materially change what we collect or how we use it, we’ll update the version and effective date above.
