PreFlight is a drone weather and airspace awareness app. It is designed to help drone pilots make informed preflight decisions. Your privacy is important to us, and PreFlight is built with a privacy-first approach.
The developer does not receive, retain, or sell personal data from PreFlight. The app has no advertising, cross-app tracking, or user accounts. PreFlight uses Aptabase to receive anonymous product-usage events.
PreFlight sends manually selected anonymous events such as app launches, coarse return and usage-frequency ranges, session outcomes, screen visits, feature use, and failures to Aptabase, together with general app version, operating-system, and language information. Events never include coordinates, searches, favorite-site names, aircraft names, aircraft photos, operating-limit values, exact usage timestamps, advertising identifiers, or account information. Aptabase does not assign a persistent user identifier, so events are not linked to a person or tracked across apps.
PreFlight uses your device location solely to show weather and airspace conditions near you. Your coordinates are sent directly to public data APIs (listed below) to fetch relevant information. Location data is never stored on our servers, because we do not operate any servers. All requests go directly from your device to the data providers.
PreFlight fetches data directly from the following public APIs:
Each provider has its own privacy policy. PreFlight sends only the minimum data required (typically latitude and longitude) to these services.
PreFlight stores your preferences, aircraft profile, optional aircraft photo, map style, favorite launch sites, cached public data, and an anonymous launch count with first and last launch timestamps locally on your device. The launch history is used only to create broad first-time, returning, and frequency ranges for analytics; exact timestamps are never sent. The aircraft photo remains in the app’s private storage and is never uploaded.
PreFlight does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Aptabase usage events are anonymous and are not linked to a person.
If we ever change this policy, the updated version will be available at this same URL and within the app.
