- Provide relevant weather information for nearby airports
- Log flight tracks (if you enable this feature)
Location data is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly enable cloud sync features.

If you use our flight planning, logbook, or track logging features, we store this data locally on your device. This includes:
- Flight plans and routes
- Flight logs and track history
- Aircraft profiles and performance data

- Email address
- Account credentials (securely hashed)
Device Information
We may collect basic device information for app functionality and troubleshooting:
- Device type and operating system version

How We Use Your Information

Data Storage and Security
MagentaLine is designed with a local-first architecture. Your aviation data, flight plans, and logs are stored locally on your device by default. We use industry-standard encryption to protect any data transmitted to our servers.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

- Cloud Sync: Cloud sync is optional. You can use MagentaLine entirely offline
- Data Deletion: You can delete your local data at any time through the app settings
- Account Deletion: If you have an account, you can request deletion here
