3. How We Use Your Information

We are committed to using your information only for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, which include:

• Core Functionality: To provide, maintain, and improve the App’s logbook and related Services.

4. User Consent & Permissions

We will request user consent before collecting personal or usage data when required by applicable laws or Apple’s guidelines. You can withdraw your consent at any time by:

• Adjusting the relevant permissions in your device settings (e.g., Location Services).
• Contacting us directly to request deletion or restriction of your data (see “Your Rights” and “Contact Us” sections).

We also provide alternatives whenever possible if you do not grant certain permissions (e.g., manually entering data instead of granting location access).

5. Data Minimization

In accordance with Apple’s guidelines, we only request access to data relevant to the core functionality of the App (e.g., location access to log flights automatically). If you decline certain permissions, we will make reasonable efforts to provide alternative ways to use core features, where feasible.

6. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share or disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third parties (e.g., hosting services, backup/synchronization providers, analytics tools, payment processors) who agree to process data according to our instructions and with safeguards at least as protective as those in this Privacy Policy.

• With Your Consent: We will seek your explicit consent before sharing your data with third parties for purposes not covered in this Policy.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyze app usage. Cookies help us remember user preferences and gather aggregate analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser or device settings, but certain features of the App may not function properly without them.

8. Data Security

We employ industry-standard security measures (such as encryption in transit, access controls, and secure hosting environments) to help protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission or storage method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Third-Party Security: We require third-party providers handling your data (e.g., for backup, synchronization, debugging) to employ robust security measures and safeguard your information in compliance with applicable laws and Apple’s standards.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal data only as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy or to comply with legal obligations. Once that period expires, we will securely delete or anonymize your information.

• Deletion Requests: You may request deletion of your data at any time. We will honor such requests in accordance with applicable laws and Apple guidelines, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., where we must retain data for legal compliance).

10. Account Creation and Deletion

If our App requires you to create an account, we will only request personal information that is directly relevant to its core features. You may delete your account (where applicable) or request account deletion within the app interface or by contacting us. Once deleted, we will remove or anonymize your data unless retention is legally required.

11. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

In doing so, we will ensure appropriate safeguards (like standard contractual clauses or other lawful measures) are in place to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws and Apple’s guidelines.

15. Compliance with Apple Guidelines

In accordance with Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines (especially Section 5.1 on user privacy and data use):

• Data Collection: We collect only the data needed to provide or enhance the App’s core functionality (e.g., location data to record flight logs). We respect your permission settings and provide alternatives where possible if you do not grant certain permissions.
