Effective Date: 04 Aug 2026

Release Decoder (“Release Decoder,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and protected when you use the Release Decoder iOS application.

Release Decoder allows pilots to import a PDF flight release or related document and view information from that document in a graphical interface.

Release Decoder requires an email address to create or access a user account. We may collect and retain:

• Your email address
• A unique account identifier
• Authentication information or tokens necessary to keep you signed in
• Basic account status and security information

We do not require you to provide information such as your full name, home address, telephone number, employer, employee number, pilot certificate number, or payment information unless separately disclosed to you.

Passwords should not be stored by Release Decoder in readable form. Authentication credentials may be handled by [identify authentication provider, such as Apple, Firebase Authentication, Supabase, or your own account system].

PDFs imported into Release Decoder are processed locally on your device.

Release Decoder does not upload imported PDFs to our servers. Information extracted from those PDFs is not transmitted to us and is not used for analytics, advertising, profiling, or marketing.

Imported PDFs and decoded information may remain on your device according to the app’s functionality and your device settings. You are responsible for protecting access to your device and any documents stored on it.

Release Decoder does not collect app analytics.

Release Decoder does not use information from imported documents to track you across apps or websites. We do not sell your personal information and do not use your information for targeted advertising.

Release Decoder does not intentionally collect device identifiers, usage histories, crash reports, or diagnostic information through its own analytics systems.

Apple may independently collect certain diagnostic, App Store, or device information under Apple’s own privacy policies and device settings. Information collected directly by Apple is governed by Apple’s policies rather than this Privacy Policy.

We use account information only as reasonably necessary to:

• Create and maintain your account
• Authenticate your access to Release Decoder
• Protect accounts against unauthorized access
• Respond to support or privacy requests
• Communicate important service, security, or policy notices
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not use information extracted from imported PDFs because that information is processed locally and is not transmitted to us.

Release Decoder is an informational and organizational tool. It is not an official source of operational, dispatch, flight-planning, regulatory, safety, or company information.

Information displayed by Release Decoder may be incomplete, outdated, incorrectly interpreted, improperly formatted, or affected by differences in PDF structure.

Users must verify all information against current official company documents and authorized company systems before using it for flight planning, dispatch, operational decision-making, regulatory compliance, or any safety-related purpose.

Release Decoder does not replace an official flight release, dispatch release, flight plan, company manual, approved electronic flight bag application, notice, bulletin, or other authorized company source.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

We may share limited account information in the following circumstances:

We may use third-party service providers to provide account authentication, database hosting, email delivery, security, or technical infrastructure. These providers may process limited information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf.

Current service providers include:

• Authentication provider: [Provider name]
• Account database or hosting provider: [Provider name, if applicable]
• Support email provider: [Provider name, if applicable]

These providers are governed by their own privacy terms and contractual obligations.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or valid governmental request
• Protect the rights, property, or security of Release Decoder, its users, or others
• Investigate fraud, unauthorized access, security incidents, or unlawful activity
• Enforce applicable agreements

If Release Decoder is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, account information may be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor would remain subject to applicable privacy obligations.

We retain your email address and associated account information for as long as your account remains active or as reasonably necessary to provide the service.

After an account deletion request, we will delete or anonymize account information within a reasonable period, except when retention is required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement purposes.

Imported PDFs and extracted flight information are stored and processed locally on your device. We do not maintain server-side copies of those documents.

Deleting the app may remove locally stored application data, subject to iOS behavior, device backups, iCloud settings, file locations, and any documents you independently saved elsewhere.

You may request deletion of your Release Decoder account and associated personal information by:

• Using the account-deletion function within the app; or
• Contacting us at [privacy email address]

Deleting your Release Decoder account does not necessarily delete PDFs or files that you independently stored in Apple Files, iCloud Drive, device backups, email, or another application.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect account information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no electronic storage or transmission system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Users should protect their devices using a passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, current software updates, and other appropriate security measures. Users should also avoid importing sensitive operational documents onto unsecured or shared devices.

Flight releases and related documents may contain sensitive operational, employment, travel, crew, passenger, routing, or company information.

Release Decoder processes imported documents locally, but users remain responsible for:

• Following employer and company information-security policies
• Confirming they are authorized to import and process the document
• Protecting confidential or proprietary information
• Complying with applicable electronic flight bag and device-management requirements
• Avoiding unauthorized sharing, copying, or distribution of company documents

Release Decoder does not represent that use of the app is approved by any airline, operator, government agency, employer, dispatcher, or regulatory authority.

Release Decoder is intended for adult aviation professionals and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Your account information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country where you reside, depending on the locations of our service providers.

Where required, we will handle personal information in accordance with applicable data-protection laws.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Request a portable copy of certain information
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• File a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority

Because imported PDFs are processed locally and are not transmitted to us, we generally cannot access, retrieve, correct, or delete documents stored only on your device.

To exercise a privacy right, contact us at [privacy email address].

Release Decoder may interact with Apple services or other third-party services necessary for account authentication or app operation.

This Privacy Policy does not govern information collected directly by Apple or another third party. You should review the privacy policies of those providers.

We may update this Privacy Policy when the app, our data practices, legal requirements, or service providers change.

We will post the revised policy and update the effective date. When required, we may provide additional notice within the app or request renewed consent.

Continued use of Release Decoder after an updated policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy, to the extent permitted by law.
