Privacy Policy

The app uses Firebase Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand aggregated usage patterns and improve the app.

Possible data processed includes:

• App usage events
• Device information (model, operating system, language)
• Approximate location derived from IP
• App instance identifiers
• Interaction data
• Crash correlation data

Data is processed in aggregated form where possible.

Google may process data on servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States.

The app uses Firebase Crashlytics to monitor stability. Data processed may include:

• Crash logs and stack traces
• Device type and operating system
• App version
• Installation UUID
• Runtime environment information

Crash reports are used solely for technical troubleshooting and are not used to identify users.

RevenueCat is used to validate purchases and manage subscription status. Data processed may include:

• Anonymous app user identifier
• Purchase history and subscription status
• Transaction metadata provided by Apple or Google
• Device information
• App version

RevenueCat does not receive payment credentials such as credit card details.

All payments are handled exclusively by:

• Apple Inc. (App Store)
• Google LLC (Google Play Store)

These providers process payment data independently as controllers. The developer does not receive or store payment details.

To center the map on startup, the app may determine an approximate location using an external geolocation service operated by Kloudend, Inc. (ipapi.co), USA.

Processing involves:

• Transmission of the device’s IP address
• Determination of approximate geographic location
• Return of coarse coordinates or regional data

No precise GPS location is used. The developer does not store or track the returned location.

The app may collect and store anonymized flight data to improve the app experience, analyze usage patterns, and create aggregated content for social sharing and marketing purposes.

Data collected may include flight parameters such as paths, altitudes, procedures flown, and performance metrics. No data that could identify an individual user is included.

This data:

• Is fully anonymized — it cannot be linked to an individual user
• Does not include device identifiers, IP addresses, or location data
• May be used in aggregated form for app optimization and feature development
• May be used to generate statistics, visualizations, or content for social media and marketing — both aggregated (e.g., “10 million approaches flown”) and as individual anonymized flight examples (e.g., showcasing a specific approach or holding pattern)
• Will never be sold to third parties

Processing is based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in improving the app and communicating its usage to prospective users. You can opt out of this data collection at any time in the app settings.

For users participating in the “Flight School Pro” program, user accounts may be created and managed. These accounts are provided exclusively through participating flight schools and are created only for pre-authorized (whitelisted) email addresses.

Data processed includes:

• Name
• Email address
• License or subscription status
• Registration date

This data is used for:

• Authentication and account management
• License validation and access control
• Providing Flight School Pro features

Account data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore (via Firebase). Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract performance). Data is retained for the duration of the account and thereafter as required by law.

User data is typically provided by the respective flight school or by the user during account registration.

Users may contact the developer or submit feedback. If an email address is provided voluntarily:

• It will be used solely to respond to the inquiry
• It will not be used for marketing
• It will not be shared with third parties
