Welcome to NAVISIM EFB. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application and related services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal data necessary to provide a functional flight simulation experience:
- Device Information: We may collect device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers to ensure app compatibility and manage push notifications.
- Location Data: The app requires access to your device's location (GPS) to display your position on the moving map. This data is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
- Usage Data: We use analytical tools (e.g., Firebase) to understand how features are used, track crashes, and improve performance.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used solely for the following purposes:
- App Functionality: To render maps, download charts, and calculate navigation routes.
- Notifications: To send you alerts about NOTAMs (Notices to Air Missions) for airports you choose to subscribe to via OneSignal.
- Improvements: To identify bugs and optimize the app experience for the flight simulation community.
3. Third-Party Services
We utilize trusted third-party services to deliver specific features. These providers have their own privacy policies:
- Google Firebase: Used for app analytics, crash reporting, and remote configuration.
- OneSignal: Used to deliver push notifications to your device.
- IVAO / VATSIM APIs: Publicly available data is fetched to display live traffic. We do not transmit your personal simulation credentials to these networks.
4. Data Storage & Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information.
Navigation databases and charts are stored locally on your device.
Any data transmitted between the app and our servers (e.g., database updates) is encrypted using SSL/TLS.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Opt-out of push notifications at any time via your device settings.
- Request the deletion of any data we may have stored (e.g., notification tokens) by contacting support.
6. Flight Simulation Disclaimer
NAVISIM EFB is intended solely for flight simulation entertainment purposes.
No data provided by this application should be used for real-world aviation, navigation, or safety-critical situations.
