UAV Drone Forecast Privacy Policy

Effective 27 August 2026 · applies to the UAV Drone Forecast app for Android and iOS

UAV Drone Forecast has no accounts, no advertising, and no server of its own. The only data that leaves your device is anonymous usage statistics and crash reports, collected through Google Firebase to keep the app reliable.

What we collect

Usage statistics — anonymous events such as app opens and screen views, via Google Firebase Analytics. These are aggregated and are not used to identify you.
Crash reports — technical diagnostics (device model, OS version, stack traces) via Firebase Crashlytics, used only to find and fix bugs.
Device identifiers — a Firebase-generated identifier that supports the two services above. It is not linked to your name, email, or any account, because the app has none.

Location

With your permission, the app reads your device location once at launch (and when you tap the locate button) to centre the forecast on where you are standing. Location is processed on your device and never stored or sent to us. The coordinates of whichever place you are viewing are sent directly from your device to public weather and airspace services as part of each forecast request. You can deny the location permission and pick locations manually; everything works the same way.

What we never do

No selling or sharing of personal data with third parties for their own purposes.
No advertising and no advertising SDKs.
No accounts, passwords, or contact lists.
Saved spots, drone selection, and settings stay on your device only.

Services the app talks to

Forecast and safety data come directly from public services: Open-Meteo (weather), NOAA (airport reports and space weather), CelesTrak (satellite orbits), FAA and an open aviation database (airspace), OpenFreeMap and Photon (maps and place names, © OpenStreetMap contributors), and Google Firebase (analytics and crash reporting). Each request carries only what that service needs to answer — typically the coordinates being viewed.

Data retention and deletion

Firebase retains analytics and crash data under Google's standard retention periods and then deletes it automatically. Because the app has no accounts, none of this data is linked to you, and uninstalling the app stops all collection immediately. To ask about data connected to your device, contact us at the address below.
