Aircraft Vibes Flight Box – App Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 September 2026
This policy explains what data the Aircraft Vibes Flight Box app ("the app") and your Flight Box device handle, and why. It applies to the app on both Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store).
Who we are
The app and the Flight Box service are operated by Reklamos Principas, MB ("we", "us"), which is the data controller for the personal data described here.
- Registered address: Odminių g. 1A-15, LT-01122 Vilnius, Lithuania
- Company code: 304813538
- VAT number: LT100011573010
- Privacy contact: info@aircraftvibes.com
In short
- There are no user accounts and no login.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, tracking or crash-reporting tools, and we do not sell or share your data for advertising.
- We process only the technical data needed to connect your Flight Box and show flights: device identifiers, IP address, your chosen watching area and display settings.
- Your Wi-Fi password goes only from your phone to your Flight Box. It is never sent to our servers.
- Maps are shown with Google Maps on Android and Apple Maps on iOS.
What data we process
| Data | Where it comes from | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Flight Box identifiers (Support ID, serial number, MAC address) and technical data such as firmware version, device status and error information | Your Flight Box | Our servers |
| IP address of your Flight Box and of the app | Your network connection | Our servers |
| Hashed (scrambled) name of the Wi-Fi network your Flight Box joins | Your Flight Box | Our servers |
| Wi-Fi password | You type it in the app | Your Flight Box only — never our servers |
| Watching areas (location, radius or drawn shape), tracked flight numbers, filters and display settings | You set them in the app | Stored in the app and on your Flight Box, and processed by our servers to deliver flight data for those areas |
| Your phone's location, precise or approximate (only if you allow it) | Your phone | Stays on your phone — never sent to our servers; used only to pre-fill a default watching area |
Your phone's location. If you allow location access, the app uses your phone's location only on your phone, to pre-fill a default watching area around you. Your phone's location is never sent to our servers, and we do not track your movements. You can refuse location access, or turn it off in your phone settings, and choose any area by hand on the map. The watching area you save is handled like any other setting in the table above.
What we do not collect. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, payment details or advertising identifiers. The app has no accounts, no in-app purchases, no push notifications and no analytics or crash-reporting tools. If you email us for support, we use your email and what you send only to answer you. Support emails are handled by Reklamos Principas, MB and stored with our email service provider.
How we use it and why
| Purpose | Data used | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Connect your Flight Box to Wi-Fi and to our service, and deliver firmware updates | Device identifiers, IP address, hashed Wi-Fi name, Wi-Fi password (phone to device only) | Performance of a contract — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Show aircraft in your watching areas and follow the flights you choose | Watching areas, tracked flights, settings | Performance of a contract — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Keep your settings in sync between the app and your Flight Box | Support ID, settings | Performance of a contract — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Help you when you contact support, and identify your device | Support ID, serial number, your email | Legitimate interests — Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Keep the service secure and prevent misuse | IP address, device identifiers | Legitimate interests — Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Suggest a watching area near you | Phone location | Your consent (the permission prompt) — Art. 6(1)(a) |
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling or automated decisions that affect you.
Maps
The app shows a map so you can choose your watching areas. The map provider depends on your phone.
Android: Google Maps. On Android, maps are provided by Google Maps (Google Maps SDK for Android). We use it only to display the map. When the map loads, Google may receive information such as your IP address, device information and the map area you view, and processes it under its own terms. By using the map in the Android app, you agree to the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service. Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
iOS: Apple Maps. On iPhone, maps are provided by Apple Maps (Apple MapKit). Apple's handling of map data is described in the Apple Privacy Policy.
We do not send your watching areas or phone location to Google or Apple ourselves. Each map provider acts independently of us for the data it receives when showing the map.
Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data or share it for advertising. We share it only with:
- DigitalOcean, LLC — hosts the servers that we manage and that the app and your Flight Box connect to. DigitalOcean processes data only on our behalf, under its data processing agreement.
- Flight data providers — our servers obtain live aviation data from third-party flight data sources. No personal data about you or your Flight Box is sent to them.
- Authorities — only if the law requires us to.
Your Flight Box connects only to our servers, including for firmware updates.
International transfers
If any of your data is processed outside the European Economic Area, we rely on safeguards under GDPR Chapter V, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses included in our providers' data processing terms.
How long we keep data
- Device identifiers, hashed Wi-Fi name and settings: for as long as your Flight Box uses our service, then deleted within 6 months after it stops connecting.
- IP addresses in server logs: up to 6 months.
- Support emails: as long as needed to resolve your request, and no longer than 6 months.
- Data stored in the app on your phone: until you delete the app.
How to delete your data
There is no account to delete. To remove your data:
- From the app and phone: uninstall the app. This removes everything the app stored on your phone.
- From your Flight Box: reset it by unplugging it three times within a minute, plugging it back in each time. This unlinks it from your phone.
- From our servers: email info@aircraftvibes.com with your Flight Box Support ID (shown in the app). Within 30 days we delete all data linked to it — device identifiers, IP addresses, watching areas, tracked flights and settings — and confirm by email. We keep nothing afterwards, except where the law requires us to.
Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA or the UK, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time (for example, by turning off location permission). To use these rights, email info@aircraftvibes.com; we reply within one month.
You can also complain to the Lithuanian data protection authority, the State Data Protection Inspectorate, or to the authority in your own country.
If you are in the United States, including California, you may request access to or deletion of your personal data in the same way. We do not sell or share personal data as those terms are defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act, and we will not treat you differently for using your rights.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The app communicates with our servers over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and we protect data with further technical and organisational measures. Only Reklamos Principas, MB has access to our servers; no outside contractors do. Your Wi-Fi password is sent only from your phone directly to your Flight Box.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will publish the new version on this page and update the date at the top. If the changes are significant, we will also tell you in the app.
