Privacy Policy
IVAO Active ATC
Overview
IVAO Active ATC does not collect, store or transmit any personal data. There is no account and no sign-in, and the app never asks for personal information.
Data the app shows
The app loads the following publicly available data from the IVAO network API:
- Active Air Traffic Controller positions — callsigns, frequencies, ATIS text and connection times.
- Active pilot positions — callsigns, flight plans, coordinates, altitude and speed.
- ATC coverage area polygons.
This data is public, contains no personally identifiable information about you, and is fetched in real time. It is not kept beyond the current session.
Data stored on your device
The app keeps the following in standard system preferences (UserDefaults) on your device:
- Search text — your last search filter, so it persists between sessions.
- Map position — so the map returns to where you left it.
This is never sent to any server. Deleting the app removes it.
Third-party services
- IVAO API (api.ivao.aero) — real-time ATC and pilot data from the IVAO network.
- Apple MapKit — maps and satellite imagery. Apple may collect usage data as described in Apple’s Privacy Policy.
The app integrates no analytics, advertising, crash reporting or social media SDKs.
Tracking
The app does not track you. It uses no advertising identifiers, device fingerprinting or cross-app tracking. The App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected.
Children’s privacy
The app does not knowingly collect information from children under 13, and requires no personal information from users of any age.
