This Privacy Policy explains how AviAlert ("AviAlert", "we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information. AviAlert is provided by 663081 BC LTD (doing business as gearheadlabs).

1. Overview

AviAlert is an offline-first mobile application. Most information you create in the app is stored locally on your device. We do not operate user accounts at this time and we do not provide server-side storage for your personal content.

2. Information We Collect

A) Information you provide

Support communications: If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.

B) Information stored on your device (local)

AviAlert may store locally on your device:

• Saved forecasts and related notes
• Plans, routes, waypoints, tracks, recons, drawings, offline map selections, and settings
• Calibration values (e.g., pressure/altitude reference points) and other instrument/tool preferences

C) Device and app diagnostics / analytics (optional)

To improve reliability, performance, and product decisions, AviAlert may collect app diagnostics and analytics such as app version/build, device model, OS version, crash reports, performance metrics, and feature usage events. These diagnostics may be collected via Apple-provided mechanisms and/or third-party SDKs.

D) Location (optional)

If you enable location services, AviAlert may use location for map features and calibration tools. Location permission is optional. We do not sell location data.

E) Purchases and subscriptions

If you purchase a subscription, payments are processed by Apple. We may receive subscription status signals but not full payment details.

F) AI features (if enabled)

If you use in-app AI features, your prompt text may be sent to a third-party AI provider. We may log minimal metadata for operations.

3. How We Use Information

• Provide app functionality and store content on your device
• Respond to support requests
• Improve app stability, performance, and usability
• Operate subscriptions and restore entitlements

4. Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with necessary service providers like subscription management, crash reporting, analytics, and weather/mapping data providers.

5. Data Retention

• Local app data stays on your device.
• Support emails are retained as needed.
• Diagnostics/analytics are retained for a limited period.
