Data the app handles — and where it stays
Aircraft data from your receiver. The app connects to ADS-B receivers on your local network. Aircraft positions, callsigns, and related data are received directly from your receiver and displayed on your device. This data is never sent to us or to any third party by the app.
Device location (optional). If you grant location permission, the app uses your location to center the map and calculate distances to aircraft. Your location is processed entirely on your device. It is never transmitted to us or anyone else. The app works without location permission — you can set your receiver position manually.
Settings. Your preferences (receiver addresses, display options) are stored only on your device. Nothing is synced to iCloud or any other cloud service.
Network connections the app makes
- Your receiver — on your local network, to fetch live aircraft data.
- Maps — the app displays maps using Apple's MapKit. Map imagery is requested from Apple by the system, under Apple's privacy policy; we receive nothing from those requests.
- Demo mode uses sample data bundled with the app and makes no receiver connection.
The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Data we collect
None. We do not collect, store, sell, or share any personal data.
Children
Overhead 1090 does not collect data from anyone, including children. The app is rated 4+.
Purchases
Purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment information.
Changes
If a future version of the app changes any of the above (for example, adding optional crash reporting), we will update this policy and the App Store privacy label before that version ships.
