Privacy
Last updated 25 October 2026
The short version. OnTheFly keeps your roster, pay and tax answers so it can show your swings and take-home pay on any device you sign in on. We don't sell your information, we don't show ads, and you can delete your account and everything in it from the app at any time. Questions go to privacy@onthefly.au.
What we keep
- Your email address, and your password in scrambled (hashed) form, so you can sign in. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your email address and name with us.
- Your roster and pay: job titles, company and site names you enter, roster patterns and dates, pay rates, shift lengths, allowances, travel days, leave and pay history.
- Your tax answers: residency, whether you have private hospital cover, family and dependants for the Medicare levy surcharge, and whether you have a study or training loan. These are only used to estimate your tax.
- Your R&R plans and checklists, including any notes, places and budgets you add.
We don't ask for your tax file number, bank details, address or date of birth, and we don't use analytics or advertising trackers.
Why we keep it
Only to run OnTheFly for you: drawing your roster, working out your pay and tax, and keeping it the same on your phone and computer. It isn't used for anything else.
Where it's kept
- On your device, so the app works without signal. Signing out removes your copy from that device.
- In your account, stored with Supabase, a database service. Only you can read your account's data when you're signed in.
- The website itself is served by Vercel. Like most websites, its servers briefly log technical details such as your IP address to keep the site running and secure.
These services may store data outside Australia. We only use them to run OnTheFly.
Your figures are estimates
Pay and tax figures are worked out from what you enter and published ATO rates. They're a guide, not financial or tax advice. Your payslip and the ATO have the final say.
Deleting your data
In the app, open your account, then Erase or delete:
- Erase my roster and start again clears your jobs, plans and checklists but keeps your account.
- Delete my account permanently removes your account and everything saved to it. It can't be undone.
