In short
Wingbook is a logbook for paraglider pilots. There is no user account and no developer server. All flights, tracks, photos, documents and settings are stored only on your device. The developer receives none of this data. There are no ads, no analytics or tracking tools and no sharing with third parties for advertising or sales purposes.
Services the app contacts directly
To provide maps, place names, weather and terrain, the app contacts the following services directly from your device. For technical reasons, each provider receives your IP address and the details listed below. No names, no email addresses and no complete flights are sent. Some providers are based in the USA.
| Service | Purpose | Data sent |
|---|---|---|
| OpenStreetMap tiles, OpenTopoMap, Esri World Imagery | Map display | visible map area |
| AWS Terrain Tiles (Amazon Web Services) | Terrain in 3D replay | area around the flight |
| Overpass API, Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) | Launch site and peak names | coordinates of launch and landing, or the map area |
| Open-Meteo | Weather at flight time | coordinates and date of the flight |
| Open Topo Data | Terrain elevation (height above ground) | individual points along the track |
These services process data under their own privacy policies.
Android backup
If backup is enabled in your device’s Android settings, Android backs up Wingbook’s database and settings (without tracks, photos and documents) encrypted to your Google account. This is a feature of Android and Google; the developer has no access to it. You can turn it off in the system settings.
Backups
You create ZIP backups yourself and decide where they are stored (on the device or in Google Drive, for example).
Feedback
Only if you actively send something under “Feedback” in the app, the following is transmitted to the developer via the Telegram messenger service: your text, the type of feedback, your name (if given), device model, Android and app version and, if you choose to, a picture and the app’s last crash report. The legal basis is your consent by sending it (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Telegram is based outside the EU, in a country without an EU adequacy decision. If you do not want this, send your feedback by email instead. Feedback messages are only used to improve the app and are deleted once no longer needed.
Permissions
- Internet: for the services listed above.
- Notifications: for reminders (reserve, glider check, documents, backup) and video export progress.
- Foreground service: so a video export keeps running when you leave the app.
- Photos and files are only opened through the system picker you open yourself. The app does not scan your gallery on its own.
Deletion
You can delete all data in the app under Mehr → Daten zurücksetzen, or uninstall the app. Since the developer stores no data about you, there is nothing else to delete, except feedback messages, which you can ask to have deleted at any time by email.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You can withdraw consent at any time. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority; in Austria that is the Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, dsb.gv.at.
