Privacy policy

OUR PRIVACY COMMITMENT: RangeSight processes data locally on your device, does not collect personal flight data, and does not sell your information to third parties.

1. INTRODUCTION

Noxdren, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the RangeSight mobile application (the "App" or "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By downloading, installing, or using RangeSight, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the App.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of this Privacy Policy.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use RangeSight, you may voluntarily provide certain information, including:

• Flight Planning Data: Drone selection, battery parameters, payload weights, flight altitude, speed settings, and other mission parameters you enter
• Saved Locations: Home locations or waypoints you choose to save within the App
• Imported Mission Files: Litchi (CSV), DJI WPML, GPX, and KML route files you choose to import for Waypoint Mission analysis. These files are read on-device and are not transmitted to our servers.

When you access or use the App, certain information may be collected automatically:

• Device Information: Device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information

4. DATA PROCESSING AND STORAGE

4.1 Local Processing

RangeSight processes most data locally on your device. Flight planning calculations, saved preferences, and location data are stored and processed on your device, not on our servers. This is what lets the App function offline.

4.2 Data Transmitted to Third Parties

When you use certain features, limited data may be transmitted to third-party services:

• Weather Data Requests: Your latitude and longitude coordinates are sent to weather API providers to retrieve current weather conditions
• Map Tile Requests: Your approximate map viewport location is sent to map tile providers to load map imagery

4.3 Data Retention

• Local Data: Remains until you clear the App data or uninstall the App
• Support Communications: Retained for as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry, typically no longer than 2 years
• Analytics Data: Aggregated, anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely for trend analysis
• Crash Reports: Retained for up to 90 days for debugging purposes

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

RangeSight integrates with the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy governing their data practices:

5.1 Weather Data Providers

5.2 Map and Imagery Providers

• OpenStreetMap: Provides street map data

6. DATA SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

6.3 Aggregated and Anonymized Data

We may share aggregated, anonymized data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you for research, analytics, or business purposes.

7. DATA SECURITY

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS/TLS
• Local data storage on your device (not transmitted to our servers)
• Secure API communications with third-party services
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

8.1 Access and Portability

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to receive it in a portable format.

8.2 Correction

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.

8.3 Deletion

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions required by law.

• Analytics: You can opt out of analytics collection through the App settings or by contacting us.
• Communications: You can opt out of non-essential communications by contacting us.

8.5 Data Deletion on Device

Since most data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it by:

• Clearing the App's data through your device settings

9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

RangeSight is operated from the United States. If you are accessing the App from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our third-party service providers operate. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence.

10. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

RangeSight is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

11. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• Right to Know: Request information about categories and specific pieces of personal information we collected
• Right to Delete: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell personal information, so this right does not apply

12. EUROPEAN PRIVACY RIGHTS (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Legal Basis: We process your data based on your consent, contractual necessity, or legitimate interests

• Right to Lodge a Complaint: File a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise your GDPR rights, please contact us at [email protected].

13. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Because there is no uniform standard for DNT signals, RangeSight does not currently respond to them. The App processes most data locally and does not engage in cross-site tracking.

14. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy and provide notice through the App or by other appropriate means. Your continued use of RangeSight after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
