Tailfin & Fenceline
Privacy policy
The short of it: we store what the sites need to work, nothing is sold or shared, and photographers keep the copyright to their photos — see the Photographer Agreement on Fenceline.
Who we are
Tailfin and its sister site Fenceline are community-run, non-commercial hobby sites for aviation enthusiasts. They share one account system: signing up on either site creates one account valid on both.
What we store
Your account email and password hash (handled by our auth provider — we never see your password); your profile (handle, display name, bio, home airport); your registry contributions and the moderation records around them (who submitted, reviewed, approved or rejected what, and when); and, on Fenceline, your photos, sightings, follows and likes plus your Photographer Agreement acceptance history.
What we use it for
Running the sites: maintaining the registry with an honest audit trail, crediting contributions, and operating the photo community. Nothing else — no advertising, no profiling, no selling or sharing of data with third parties.
Cookies
Only the session cookies needed to keep you signed in. No analytics or tracking cookies.
What's public
The registry itself is public by design, including the fact that a given change was contributed by a given handle. Your profile page and anything you publish on Fenceline is public; photos in your private hangar are not.
Your rights
You can edit your profile at any time. To delete your account and everything attached to it, or to exercise any other data right, contact the site operator and it will be handled promptly.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we'll say so on the site before the change takes effect.
