Flight Kneeboard — Privacy Policy
Flight Kneeboard is built to need as little of your data as possible. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.
The iOS app contains no advertising. The website at flightkneeboard.app displays advertising on wider screens; see Advertising below. Ad code is never loaded inside the app.
Location
With your permission, the app uses your device's precise location to show your position on the moving map and to drive navigation displays (course, distance, terrain awareness, synthetic vision). Location is processed on your device. As you move the map or fly, the app requests charts, terrain, and weather for the surrounding area from our own server; like any web request, those carry your IP address and imply a general area of interest. We do not build location histories, profiles, or link any of this to your identity.
What we store
- On your device: downloaded charts and data for offline use, your settings, and saved flight plans. These never leave the device and are removed when you delete the app.
- On our server: standard, short-lived technical logs (IP address, request path, timestamp) used only to operate and protect the service. We store no user accounts and no personal records.
Third parties
Aeronautical and weather data originate from public government sources (FAA, NOAA/NWS, NASA) and open datasets (AWS Terrain Tiles, ESA WorldCover), fetched through our server. When you are online, base-map imagery is loaded from CARTO (OpenStreetMap) and Esri; those requests go directly to their servers and carry your IP address, subject to their own privacy policies. No other third party receives anything from the app. We never sell or share data about you — there is nothing to sell.
Advertising
The website shows advertising supplied by Google AdSense on screens wide enough to display it beside the map. Google may set cookies and use your IP address and browsing information to select and measure ads; that processing is governed by Google's own policies, and you can review and change your choices at myadcenter.google.com. Ads are never placed over the chart.
The iOS app does not load ad code at all. This is enforced in the page itself, not merely hidden: the advertising script is only requested when the page is running in a browser, so nothing about advertising executes inside the app. We do not share your location or any flight data with advertisers, and we do not use advertising identifiers.
Children
The app is a general-audience aviation utility and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
