Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 26, 2025

MagentaLine ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

Location Data

MagentaLine collects your device's GPS location to provide core navigation and moving map functionality. Location data is used to:

• Display your position on aviation charts
• Calculate distances and bearings to airports and waypoints
• 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.

Flight Data

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
• Checklists and notes

Account Information

If you create an account to enable cloud sync or backup features, we collect:

• 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
• App version
• Crash reports (if you opt in)

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve the MagentaLine app
• Enable navigation, weather, and flight planning features
• Sync your data across devices (if you enable this feature)
• Diagnose and fix technical issues
• Respond to your support requests

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.

Downloaded aviation data (charts, airport information, procedures) is stored locally on your device for offline use.

Third-Party Services

MagentaLine may interact with the following third-party services:

• FAA Aviation Weather Center: To retrieve METAR, TAF, and other weather data
• FAA NASR/CIFP: To provide airport, navaid, and procedure information
• ADS-B Receivers: To receive traffic and weather data from devices like Stratux (data stays on your local network)

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Your Choices

You have control over your data:

• Location Services: You can disable location access in your device settings, though this will limit app functionality
• 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

Children's Privacy

MagentaLine is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
