Flugbuch does not collect any personal data on the provider’s side. There is no user account, no registration, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. All data you enter in the app stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. We have no access to it.
The purchase of the full version is handled exclusively by Apple. We do not receive any payment or personal data in the process.
You can record pilot details (name, address, date of birth, licence number), flight and simulator entries, remarks, handwritten signatures and – if you turn on recording – GPS flight paths. This data is
Storage in iCloud is provided by Apple Inc. as part of your Apple Account. Apple’s privacy policy applies: apple.com/legal/privacy. As the provider, we cannot view the contents of your private iCloud database.
Airfield suggestion: when you start and end block time, and via the location symbol in the form, the app suggests the nearest airfield as place of departure or arrival (can be turned off in the profile). The search uses a database included in the app and works without an internet connection. Only the identifier or name of the airfield is entered in the logbook.
Automatic mode (optional, off by default): the GPS speed is evaluated while flight time is being recorded to detect takeoff and landing automatically. This location data is processed on the device only and is not stored.
Flight path recording (optional, off by default): if you turn it on in the profile, the app continuously stores position, altitude, speed, course and time in the timer from block start to block end, even while the screen is locked. The flight path is stored with the flight – locally on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your private iCloud database – and is included in backups. It is not transmitted to us or other third parties. You can delete it at any time in the flight details.
To display a flight path, the app loads map data from Apple Maps. Apple receives technically necessary information such as the map area being displayed; Apple’s privacy policy applies. You can revoke location access at any time in the iOS settings.
When you export your logbook as PDF or CSV or a flight path as GPX, or create a backup, you decide who to share the file with and where. The app does not transmit anything automatically. A backup contains all entries including your pilot profile, signatures and flight paths – keep it in a safe place.
As we do not collect any data, the provider carries out no processing that would require a legal basis. The data stored in the app is kept until you delete it in the app, remove the app or delete the data in your iCloud account (iOS Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Storage).
Under the GDPR, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. As we do not store any of your data, you can exercise these rights for the data in the app directly yourself. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
If you have any questions about data protection, you can reach us at smayer@sm-solutions.net.
The German version of this privacy policy is legally binding.
