Información we collect in our website and android app

Neither our website nor our application request or collect user information of any kind.

App permissions

The permissions requested by the app serve solely and exclusively to fulfill its purpose. Any of them can be revoked at any time with the consequent loss of the associated functionalities. We recommend that you disable battery restrictions and allow automatic start to prevent the operating system from putting the application in low power mode shortly after starting it, thus preventing it from accessing the sensors and GPS integrated into the device. As for access permissions to your location, it is enough to activate them while the application is in use.

  • Permission to know the exact location: This permission is required in order to provide high value-added functionalities as:

    • Estimation of wind speed and direction

    • Waypoint navigation.

    • Flight track recording.

    • Best glide, speed control.

    • Final glide assistant.

  • Permission to manage bluetooth connections in case you want to connect to an external module like Bluefly.

  • Permission to create a foreground service. The app can run with the screen off and is less prone to be closed by the Android OS in case of resource depletion.

  • Permission to access storage. Waypoint files, flight tracks and flight tasks are stored in the folder io.github.flightcom of your device so they can be read/wrote by other apps. For example: Use an IGC file reader app to view your flights. Without this permission, the navigation function will be disabled and the flights won’t be recorded.

  • Permission to bypass battery optimizations. Granting this permission to the app you avoid the phone entering in doze mode while the app is running.
