This the privacy policy of the aprs.fi iPhone and iPad mobile application.

While an user is using the app to view information, we optionally collect the following anonymous information:

• Statistical data on the usage of the different views features of the application, such as the number of times each view has been accessed
• Performance metrics, such as the time it takes to load and display various views
• Search terms and other data submitted by the user

The abovementioned information will be used for improving and optimizing the application software and backend systems. Statistical and performance metrics collection can be disabled by the Settings item "Send usage statistic".

Statistical and performance metrics are collected using Google Firebase and Google Analytics. Any third party with whom an app shares user data, as well as any parent, subsidiary or other related entities that will have access to this data, will provide the same or equal protection of user data as stated in this privacy policy.

If the user explicitly chooses to upload and publish his position on the aprs.fi service using the application:

• The application collects and uploads the user's real-time position to the service
• The position, along with additional information such as speed and altitude, will be published to other users of the service and visitors of the web site alike
• The position information will be stored on the website for up to three years, unless the user chooses to delete the information, either using the application or the web site's user interface
• The information is made available to other web services and applications by the means of various Application Interfaces (APIs). Deleting information from the aprs.fi service will not delete the information from any other APRS services, which may still archive and republish the information for any time.

Uploading position information is optional.
