What Stripes collects about you
Nothing reaches us. Stripes has no accounts of its own, no analytics and no crash reports. We never see your flights, your notes or who you flew with. Two things inside the app send data to Google, not to us: Google’s text reader on Android, and Google’s sign-in on iPhone if you choose Google Drive for your backup. Both are explained below.
Where your logbook lives
On your phone. If you turn on cloud backup, a copy goes to your own iCloud or your own Google Drive, in a private folder only Stripes can open. Your photos and the scans you keep with your documents go with it. That is your storage and your account, not ours, and we cannot see it.
What the app talks to over the internet
Four services, and none of them is told your name. MET Norway receives the coordinates of an airport on your flights and returns a forecast; it keeps your internet address and those coordinates in its logs, in Oslo. The Currency API, a free public list of exchange rates, receives a currency code. OurAirports is checked about once a month for new airport codes and runways. If you share a short map link into Stripes, that link may be opened once to find the place. A link you tap in the app, to Flightradar24 or Google Maps, opens in that app or in your browser. Like any website you visit, each of these sees the internet address your phone connects from.
Signing in to Google
Only if you choose Google Drive for your backup. Google handles the sign-in and Stripes never sees your password. Google gives Stripes your account’s name and email address; they stay on your phone and Stripes does nothing with them. On your Drive, Stripes asks for one thing: to read and write its own backup folder. It cannot see any other file. On iPhone, Google’s sign-in kit inside Stripes also sends Google details of the sign-in and of the phone, as Google lists them for its kit.
Scanning a roster or a document
The reading happens on your phone and the reader does not upload the image. On Android the reader is Google’s. It sends Google figures about how it runs, with details of the device and a number for the install, and never the image. On iPhone the reader is Apple’s and is part of iOS. If cloud backup is on, a scan you keep with a document goes into your own backup with the rest.
Permissions
Camera, only when you photograph a crew list or film your month’s roster reveal, and the microphone only while that film records. The film is made on your phone and goes only where you share it. On Android a document is photographed in Google’s own scanner, which needs no permission from Stripes. Photos, only the ones you pick, and to save a picture you chose to share. Notifications, only for reminders you set, scheduled on the phone. Face or fingerprint, only to open your documents: the phone does the check and Stripes never sees it. Stripes never asks for your location.
Keeping it safe
Every request the app makes is encrypted (HTTPS). On a phone with a screen lock, document numbers and scans open only after the phone’s own check. A backup sits in a hidden folder of your own iCloud or Google Drive, under Apple’s or Google’s protection.
Who else is involved
No advertising or analytics company gets anything from Stripes. The only outside services are the ones named here. Each gets only what this page says and handles it under its own privacy policy.
This website
getstripes.app sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics or tracking. Its fonts and scripts come from the site itself, so a visit reaches no other company. Cloudflare hosts it and, like any web host, sees the internet address of each visit to deliver the page.
Writing to us
A letter to [email protected] brings us your email address, what you write, and the app version and phone model at its foot. We use them only to answer you and delete the letter within 12 months.
Keeping and deleting
Your logbook stays on your phone until you delete it. In the app, Settings, Data, Delete all data clears everything on the phone, and so does removing the app. A cloud backup stays until you delete it: Settings, Data, Delete the backup deletes it from iCloud or Google Drive. Without the app, in Google Drive: Settings, Manage apps, Stripes, Delete hidden app data. On iPhone: Settings, your name, iCloud, Storage, Stripes. To stop the backup, turn it off in Settings, Data. To take back Google’s permission, remove Stripes in your Google Account under Security, Your connections to third-party apps and services. Or write to us and we will walk you through it.
Children
Stripes is made for working airline crew and is not directed at children.
