Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

      AviGrade does not collect, store, or share any personal data with its developer or any third party. Your evaluation data never leaves your device or your own private iCloud account.
    

1. What AviGrade Does

AviGrade is an aviation competency evaluation tool based on the ICAO/EASA competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) methodology. It allows flight instructors and evaluators to assess pilot and instructor competencies using structured observable behaviours, scoring, and reporting.

2. Data We Collect

We collect nothing. AviGrade does not have servers, does not require account registration, and does not transmit any data to the developer or any third party.

There are no analytics tools, crash reporters, or advertising SDKs integrated into the app.

3. Data Stored on Your Device

All data you enter in AviGrade — trainee names, competency evaluations, scores, notes, and PDF reports — is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework.

Lite tier: All evaluation data is held in memory only and is discarded when the session ends. Nothing is written to disk.
Full tier: Evaluation sessions are saved locally on your device. If you have iCloud enabled, your data is automatically synced to your private iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit framework.

4. iCloud Sync (Full tier)

When iCloud sync is active, your evaluation data is stored in your personal, private iCloud database. This data is:

Accessible only to you and your Apple ID.
Never accessible to the AviGrade developer.
Governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

You can disable iCloud sync at any time in your device's Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud.

5. PDF Reports and Backup Files

AviGrade can generate PDF evaluation reports and JSON backup files. These files are created locally on your device and are only shared if you explicitly choose to do so using the iOS share sheet. The developer has no access to these files at any time.

6. Third-Party SDKs

AviGrade uses no third-party libraries, frameworks, or SDKs. The app is built exclusively with Apple's own frameworks (SwiftUI, SwiftData, CloudKit).

7. Children's Privacy

AviGrade is intended for professional use by certified flight instructors and evaluators. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we ever change how AviGrade handles data, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the change. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
