Privacy Policy
Last updated 19 June 2026
AvLink is a job platform that connects pilots with aviation operators. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have.
Who we are
AvLink ("we", "us") operates the AvLink platform at avlinkjobs.com. For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@avlinkjobs.com.
Where data-protection law applies, AvLink is the controller of the personal data described below.
Information we collect
We collect the following, most of which you provide directly:
- Account data — your email address. We sign you in with a one-time magic link, so we do not create or store account passwords.
- Pilot profile — your name, location, licensing country, logbook hours, licences and ratings, type ratings, availability, and role preferences you choose to add.
- Operator profile — company name, contact email, location, operation types, fleet, website, and the job listings you publish.
- Applications — the roles you apply to, any note you include, and a qualification match score we compute from your profile.
- Saved jobs and preferences — roles you bookmark and your theme choice, stored locally in your browser.
- Usage data — basic, aggregated analytics about how the platform is used (see our Cookie Policy).
How we use your information
- To run the core service: matching you with roles you are qualified for, and showing operators the pilots who apply to their listings.
- To compute qualification matches, including cross-border licence equivalency.
- To send transactional emails (application confirmations, applicant notifications, and status updates) and the job alerts you opt into.
- To operate, secure, debug, and improve the platform.
- To take payment for paid subscriptions.
- We do not sell your personal data.
Legal bases (where GDPR/UK GDPR applies)
- Performance of a contract — to provide the platform and the features you request.
- Legitimate interests — to secure and improve the service and to notify operators of applicants to their roles.
- Consent — for optional job-alert emails, which you can withdraw at any time.
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable law, including tax and accounting.
Sharing and service providers
Your pilot profile is shared with an operator when you apply to their role. We also use trusted service providers (sub-processors) who process data on our behalf under contract:
- Supabase — authentication and database hosting (your account and profile data).
- Vercel — application hosting and privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics.
- Stripe — payment processing for subscriptions. Stripe handles your card details directly; we never see or store full card numbers.
- Resend — delivery of transactional and job-alert emails.
- Adzuna — third-party job-aggregation source. We query their API for aviation listings; we do not send them your personal data.
International transfers
Our providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Data retention
We keep your data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal, tax, and operational obligations, then delete or anonymise it. You can request deletion of your account at any time.
Security
Access to your data is protected by row-level security, so signed-in users can only reach their own records. We use reputable infrastructure providers and encryption in transit. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, delete, or restrict use of your personal data, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Residents of California and similar jurisdictions have comparable rights and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them.
You can edit most of your data directly in your profile, unsubscribe from job alerts via any alert email, and contact privacy@avlinkjobs.com for anything else. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
Children
AvLink is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes & contact
We may update this policy; we'll revise the date above and, for material changes, notify you. Questions or requests: privacy@avlinkjobs.com.
