The English agreement and privacy notice are the authoritative alpha terms. Other website interface text is translated for accessibility.
What this notice covers
This notice covers the Aeranor alpha website, approved Android test builds and Aeranor Gateway. Aeranor remains in development. The notice will be updated before a broader or paid release.
Information you provide
The website stores alpha application answers, contact details, device information, agreement acceptance, owner review notes and protected tester feedback. The Android app stores pilot profiles, fleet records, flight logs and images on your device. If you enable encrypted cloud backup, Aeranor also sends an encrypted backup file to Gateway. Do not enter information you are not authorised to collect or use.
Account and technical information
Approved testing uses Google/Firebase account identity, Firebase App Distribution, limited analytics and installation status. The website’s protected feedback and owner routes verify Firebase ID tokens and the website’s current approval records. Security logs may include timestamps, request metadata and temporary network identifiers. The public application form stores a one-way salted hash of the requesting address for short-term abuse control rather than retaining the address itself in the application record.
Weather and Gateway information
When weather is requested, Aeranor Gateway receives the approved installation credential, app version, coordinates and flight times required to fulfil and cache that request. Gateway sends the required coordinates and times to Open-Meteo for processing. Weather records returned to the Android app are stored with the relevant flight log for later viewing.
Encrypted cloud backups
Cloud backup is optional. Aeranor creates a complete backup on your phone and encrypts it there with AES-256-GCM before upload. Gateway stores the encrypted file and limited metadata such as account, size and timestamps, but does not receive the recovery key and cannot read the backup. The printable recovery key is available only to you. Aeranor cannot recover a lost key, and restoration is impossible without it.
Crash and freeze diagnostics
Privacy-conscious diagnostics are optional. If enabled, Aeranor may send fixed error codes, app and Android versions, device model, privacy-filtered Aeranor code frames and a short list of safe app-state breadcrumbs to Gateway. Reports do not include flight records, coordinates, pilot names, contact details, notes, photos, recovery keys or credentials.
Why information is used
Information is used to review and manage alpha access, distribute test builds, authorise installations, provide weather, store encrypted backups, reproduce defects, respond to feedback, measure reliability and improve Aeranor. Alpha data is not sold and is not used for unrelated advertising.
Service providers
Cloudflare provides website delivery, protected access and hosted data services. Google Firebase provides authentication, app distribution and configured analytics. Open-Meteo provides weather data requested through Aeranor Gateway. Each provider may process the minimum information needed to deliver its part of the service under its own terms and privacy practices.
Retention and deletion
Application, access and feedback records are retained only while reasonably needed to run and document the alpha, resolve issues, protect the service and meet legal obligations. Raw diagnostic reports and encrypted backups follow Gateway retention controls. An approved tester can use the Account & data page to permanently remove tester access, approved installations, Firebase distribution membership, encrypted backups, queued uploads, raw diagnostics, the alpha application and tester feedback. De-identified operational audit records may remain. Device-local Aeranor records remain until you delete them or uninstall or clear the app.
Security and international processing
Aeranor uses access controls, encrypted HTTPS transport, protected service credentials and limited administrative access. No system can guarantee absolute security. Service providers and testers may be located in different countries, so information may be processed outside your country while the alpha is operated.
Your choices
Alpha participation is optional. You may withdraw before or after approval by contacting Aeranor. Withdrawing ends access and may require uninstalling the alpha. You can decline optional Android permissions, although location, images or notifications will not work where those permissions are necessary.
