Privacy policy
FS Kingpin is built by an independent solo developer in Norway. We try to collect as little personal data as we can get away with. This page describes what's collected, why, and how to contact us about it.
What the FS Kingpin app collects
Nothing personal. The app stores all game data locally on your machine in two SQLite databases (read-only airport data and your read-write player save). It does not phone home, does not send telemetry, does not require an account, and does not require an internet connection during gameplay. Your save data, MSFS settings, and aircraft files are never modified.
What this website collects
No analytics, no tracking pixels, no cookies (other than session cookies set by Paddle during checkout). If we add privacy-respecting analytics later (such as Plausible or Fathom), we will name the provider here and they will run without cookies or cross-site tracking.
What ConvertKit collects when you join the waitlist
The waitlist signup form is hosted by ConvertKit (now Kit). When you submit your email, ConvertKit stores it and tags it for the FS Kingpin Early Access launch announcement. We use a single tag, not a generic newsletter list. ConvertKit's privacy policy is at kit.com/privacy.
We send one email when Early Access launches. After that, you can unsubscribe with one click, and we never sell or share your address. If you want us to delete your record before launch, email [email protected] from the address you signed up with.
What Paddle collects at checkout
Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Ltd. (Judd House, 18-29 Mora Street, London, EC1V 8BT, United Kingdom), which acts as the Merchant of Record and authorised reseller of FS Kingpin. At checkout Paddle collects your name, email address, billing details, and country (for VAT and sales tax compliance). Paddle's privacy policy is at paddle.com/legal/privacy.
After a successful purchase, we receive your email address (so we can support you), the product you bought, and the order ID. We do not receive your billing details or full address.
Email correspondence
If you email [email protected] we keep that email thread for support reference. We never sell or share email addresses.
Auto-updates
The app checks for updates against a public GitHub releases endpoint when you launch it. This request includes only your IP address (handled by GitHub) and the version string of your installed FS Kingpin build. We do not log these requests.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own. Paddle sets session cookies during checkout. No third-party advertising or tracking cookies are used.
Your rights
EU and UK residents have the right to request access, correction, or deletion of any personal data we hold. Email [email protected] from the address you used at purchase and we'll handle it within 30 days. For purchase data, you can also contact Paddle directly.
