1. Who we are
Avyloft is a product of Alderbeam, Inc. (“Alderbeam,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Our business address is 390 NE 191st St, Miami, FL 33179, United States. Privacy questions and requests may be sent to info@alderbeam.com.
2. What this policy covers
This policy covers the Avyloft marketing website at avyloft.com. It also describes the current data boundaries of the Avyloft mobile software in development and the design commitments for future optional accounts. Store disclosures and this policy will be updated if the released product changes these practices.
3. The website today
Website delivery and security
Our hosting and security providers may process basic technical data needed to deliver and protect the website, such as IP address, browser or device type, requested pages, timestamps, and diagnostic or security events.
Information you send
If you email us, we receive the information you choose to provide, together with ordinary message details such as your email address, subject, date and attachments.
No accounts, forms or advertising trackers
The current website does not create Avyloft accounts, collect payment details, operate a mailing-list form, or use advertising identifiers. We do not sell personal information collected through this website.
4. Information kept on your device
Saved flights, active-journey state, seat and window preferences, route progress, diary entries, ratings, Journey Photos, summaries, history, downloaded Journey Packs and app preferences are stored in the app’s private local storage. Camera frames and motion or orientation samples are processed while the relevant feature is active; they are not uploaded. A photo is saved only when you choose to capture or select it.
Optional foreground location can improve progress and direction during an Active Journey. Accepted coordinates, accuracy, course and related calibration remain on the device. Avyloft does not request background location.
5. Information sent to prepare a Journey Pack
After you save a flight, Avyloft can prepare offline scenery. When preparation uses the online service, Avyloft sends the origin, destination, a bounded set of planned-route points, optional planned altitude and scenery categories, media preference, locale, platform, app version and schema version over HTTPS. The request does not contain diary text, photos, seat number, live location, sensor streams, an account identifier or detailed journey history.
A route cache may retain the planned route and generated public scenery content until expiry. Equivalent routes can reuse the same cached pack, so this is not a per-user profile. Ordinary network and security metadata may also be processed to deliver and protect the service.
6. Service providers, maps and public content
Cloudflare delivers and protects the Journey Pack service and routes its database traffic. Neon hosts the public scenery catalogue and bounded, expiring pack objects. For selected public places, the service may use official Wikimedia APIs to obtain reusable text or media with source and licence metadata.
The detailed online map uses OpenFreeMap. Map tile, font, sprite and Wikimedia image requests reveal ordinary network metadata and the map area or public image requested to those providers. They do not receive diary text, Journey Photos, seat choice, an account, live location or the Journey Pack request body. Natural Earth map data is available as an offline fallback.
7. Diagnostics, advertising and sharing
Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics are enabled by default in the development apps to measure coarse product use and diagnose crashes. You can turn both off with Share anonymous diagnostics in Settings. Google Analytics can process a per-installation app identifier, general location derived from a masked IP address, app lifecycle events and Avyloft’s bounded feature events. Crashlytics can process stack traces, relevant app and device state, a Crashlytics installation identifier and session quality metrics.
Avyloft does not set a Firebase user ID or include flight numbers, routes, GPS samples, seat details, diary text, photos, captions, place identities or exported records in analytics or crash parameters. The apps show no advertising, do not collect an advertising identifier and do not use analytics for cross-app tracking. Turning diagnostics off stops future collection and removes unsent crash reports where the Firebase SDK supports it.
An export or Journey Summary leaves the app only when you choose a destination in the operating system share sheet. Avyloft cannot recall copies after you share them.
8. Optional accounts and sync
Accounts are not available today. If introduced, they are planned to be optional and may support encrypted settings and history sync, device transfer, entitlement recovery and a private web history view. Photo backup would require a separate, explicit choice and a clear storage disclosure. Signing out would not silently erase local journeys.
Before account launch, we will identify the account data processed, purposes, service providers, safeguards, retention periods and deletion process in an updated policy.
9. Why we process information
We use the limited website information described above to:
- deliver, maintain, troubleshoot and secure the website;
- detect abuse, fraud or technical problems;
- prepare requested Journey Packs and provide product features;
- measure coarse product use and diagnose crashes subject to your diagnostics choice;
- respond to support, privacy and business messages;
- protect our rights and comply with applicable law; and
- establish or defend legal claims where necessary.
10. Sharing, retention, deletion and international processing
We may share relevant information with providers that host, secure or support the website and our email systems, or when reasonably needed to comply with law, protect people or the service, investigate misuse, or complete a corporate transaction. Technical logs are retained according to operational and security needs. Correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the inquiry, business records, legal obligations or dispute resolution. Expiring Journey Pack cache objects are removed by bounded service cleanup.
In the app, you can delete individual records and photos, remove downloaded Journey Packs, clear disposable caches, export records or use Delete all local data in Settings. Removing the app also removes local data subject to the operating system’s backup and restore behaviour. Encrypted device backups may include the app database and private Journey Photos.
Alderbeam and its providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we use or rely on an appropriate legal mechanism.
11. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or a copy of certain personal information, or to object to particular processing. Email info@alderbeam.com to make a request. We may need to verify it and may retain information where law permits or requires.
Camera, notifications, motion or sensors, photo selection and foreground location are requested in context. You can deny or later change permissions in device Settings and continue with schedule estimates or offline fallbacks where available.
When optional accounts launch, Avyloft will also provide a clearly discoverable account and cloud-data deletion path. See our Account Deletion page.
12. Children
The current website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly use it to collect personal information from children. Age eligibility and any additional protections for a released app will be stated before launch.
13. Security and changes
We use reasonable safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. We may update this policy as the website, product or law changes. The date at the top identifies the current version.
