Privacy Policy
Last updated 27 July 2026
The short version. Threshold has no accounts, collects no personal information, runs no analytics, and carries no advertising identifier. Your location is used on your device and is not transmitted or stored.
1. Information we collect
None that identifies you. There is no sign-up, no login and no profile. We do not ask for your name, email address, aircraft, certificate number or any other identifying detail in order to use the app.
2. Location
If you grant location permission, your device's position is used locally to centre the map and to find airports near you. It is not transmitted to our servers, not stored, and not shared with anyone. Denying the permission leaves every other feature working; you simply search for airports instead of having them found for you.
3. Analytics and tracking
There are none. No analytics SDK, no crash-reporting service that identifies you, no advertising identifier, no third-party trackers, and no cookies on this website. The typefaces on this site are served from our own server rather than a font network, so visiting these pages does not disclose your IP address to a third party.
4. Requests to our servers
The app requests weather and NOTAM data from our server, which relays it from the FAA and the National Weather Service. Those requests are not logged against any identity, no request history is retained, and there is no mechanism in the system that associates a request with a person or device.
5. Subscriptions
Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. Apple provides us with aggregate, anonymous sales information; it does not tell us who you are.
6. Third-party data sources
Retrieving charts, weather, radar and NOTAMs necessarily contacts the organisations that publish them, listed on the Data Sources page. Those requests are made by the app or by our server and are subject to the receiving organisation's own practices. We do not send them anything identifying you.
7. Children
Threshold is a tool for pilots and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, which includes children.
8. Your rights
Regulations such as the GDPR and CCPA give you rights to access, correct and delete personal data held about you. We hold none, so there is nothing to produce or erase. If you believe otherwise, contact us and we will look into it.
9. Data security
Traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but the strongest protection here is structural: data that is never collected cannot be exposed.
10. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version is posted on this page with a new date. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
