Privacy Policy
The short version. Aerial Report has no account, no server and no tracking. What you put in the app stays on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud storage. We never receive your jobs, photos, clients or reports.
Who we are
Aerial Report (“the app”, “we”) is an iPhone and iPad app for drone pilots who inspect roofs and solar installations and deliver branded PDF reports. Questions about this policy go to contacto@dronologic.com.
What we collect
Nothing. The app has no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party SDKs. We don’t run a server that the app talks to, so we have no copy of anything you create.
What the app stores, and where
To do its job, the app keeps what you enter or import:
- your business branding: company name, logo, contact details, colours, disclaimers and signature;
- clients and properties: names, email addresses, phone numbers and addresses you type;
- inspection jobs: photos and videos you import, their metadata (such as capture time, GPS position, altitude and camera angle), findings, notes and generated reports;
- your drones and app settings.
This is stored on your device. If iCloud is turned on for the app, it is also synced to your private iCloud database through Apple’s CloudKit, so it appears on your other devices. Imported videos stay on the device where you imported them and are not synced. Data in iCloud is held by Apple under Apple’s Privacy Policy; we can’t access it.
Photos and files
The app only sees the photos, videos and files you pick in the photo picker, the Files app or by drag and drop. It reads their metadata to place photos on the map, pair thermal images and fill in flight details.
Location
When you tap “Use current location” for a property address, the app asks for location access while in use and takes one position fix. If you’re online, Apple’s Maps service turns that position into a street address, which means the coordinates are sent to Apple. The result is saved only as that property’s address. The app never tracks your location in the background.
Artificial intelligence
- On your device. Defect suggestions, captions and report text are produced by Apple Intelligence and Core ML models running on your iPhone or iPad. Photos are analysed on the device and never leave it for this purpose.
- Private Cloud Compute (optional). If you turn on “Use Apple Private Cloud Compute for longer narratives” in Settings › Privacy & AI, and you’re online, the app sends the text of your confirmed findings and job details, never photos, to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute to write longer report sections. Apple doesn’t store this text or use it to train models. The setting is off unless you turn it on.
- The app uses no non-Apple AI service.
Filling branding from your website
If you use “Fill from my website”, the app downloads the home page you typed and its logo directly from that website, without sending cookies or anything about you. Like any web visit, that website’s server sees an ordinary request from your device, including its IP address.
Sending reports and exporting data
When you send a report or a follow-up offer, the app opens Mail, Messages, AirDrop, Files or the share sheet with the message ready. Delivery is handled by those apps and services, not by us. Exports (CSV, ZIP archives and training data) are files you create and share yourself; nothing is uploaded to us automatically.
Purchases
Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. The app only learns from Apple whether your subscription is active. Apple gives developers sales reports that don’t identify you.
Diagnostics
If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device’s settings (Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements), Apple may share crash reports and aggregated usage statistics with us. These don’t identify you, and you can turn the setting off at any time.
Your clients’ information
When you store details about your clients and photograph their properties, you decide what is collected and why. You are responsible for having their permission and for handling their information under the privacy laws that apply to you. In Mexico that includes the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares.
Keeping and deleting your data
- Delete a job, client or property in the app and it is removed from the device and, with iCloud on, from your iCloud database.
- Deleting the app removes the data stored on that device.
- To remove the app’s iCloud data, go to Settings › [your name] › iCloud › Manage Storage on your device and delete Aerial Report’s data.
Because we hold none of your data, there is nothing for us to keep, sell or delete on our side.
Children
The app is a professional tool and is not directed at children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If the app’s handling of data changes, we will update this page and its effective date before the change ships. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
