Crew Air: privacy policy
Last updated November 2, 2026. Checked against the app's code on that date.
The short version
No account. The place you plan for goes to our server at airsignal.app for the forecast. A report carries its kind, an optional note and, if you allow location, your position; the server stores the position rounded to about 100 m, and anyone who opens that site's crew page the same day can read that day's reports, notes included.
- Account: none. The app has no sign-in and no account.
- What reaches us: The plan place: a town name, or coordinates rounded on the phone to about 1 km when you use your location.; Reports: place, date, shift, kind, an optional free-text note, the sky summary and, if location is allowed, your position with its accuracy and the camera heading. The phone sends the position as measured; the server rounds it to 3 decimals (about 100 m) before storing. Kept 24 months.; A crew lead marking a report handled, with a note.; A rate-limit code: a salted hash of your IP address, rotated daily and erased after 2 days.; Usage counts: app launched, plan viewed, sky checked (see Analytics).
- Selling or sharing data: never. No advertising, no ad identifiers, no data brokers.
What the app sends to us
- The plan place: a town name, or coordinates rounded on the phone to about 1 km when you use your location.
- Reports: place, date, shift, kind, an optional free-text note, the sky summary and, if location is allowed, your position with its accuracy and the camera heading. The phone sends the position as measured; the server rounds it to 3 decimals (about 100 m) before storing. Kept 24 months.
- A crew lead marking a report handled, with a note.
- A rate-limit code: a salted hash of your IP address, rotated daily and erased after 2 days.
- Usage counts: app launched, plan viewed, sky checked (see Analytics).
What stays on your device
- Exact position until a report is sent
- Faces in sky photos are painted over before upload
- A library photo's GPS is used on the phone; for a report from that photo its EXIF position and heading are sent as the report origin
Other services the app connects to
Each of these receives only what is listed, plus the IP address any network request carries. Services run by others handle it under their own privacy policies.
| Service | What it receives | When |
|---|---|---|
TypeSafe (through our server) | A sky photo with faces painted over on the phone, at most 768 px, no EXIF, plus the plan place. Our server passes it on once to score the smoke | Only when you check the sky |
airsignal.app/crew in Safari, and www.dir.ca.gov | An ordinary page visit; our website counts page views with the same counter | Only when you open the briefing sheet or the Cal/OSHA complaint page |
Permissions
iOS asks you before the app can use any of these, and you can change your answer in Settings at any time. The app keeps working without them, minus the feature that needs it.
- Location When In Use: Plan for where you are, true north for camera labels, and placing a report
- Camera: Sky check
- Motion: Camera heading for labels
- Photo library (picker): Checking a photo you pick
Analytics and crash reports
The app counts its own use with our self-hosted, open-source counter at analytics.superduperai.co (superduper-analytics). Each event carries its name, the app version, a timestamp and a random id created on first launch. That id lives only in the app, is deleted with it, and is not the advertising identifier or tied to any account. The server keeps the country Cloudflare reports for the request and does not store your IP address. No third-party analytics, no tracking across apps or websites. Crew Air sends three events: app launched, plan viewed, sky checked. They carry no place, photo or report.
No crash reporter in the app. If you chose to share analytics with app developers in iOS Settings, Apple sends us anonymous crash logs; you can turn that off under Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.
Reports are visible to your site
Crew Air exists so a crew can see conditions together. Every report for a site and date, including its note, can be read by anyone who opens that site's crew page that day. Do not put names, phone numbers or health details in a note.
Children
Crew Air is a work tool for outdoor crews and employers and is not meant for children under 13.
Deleting your data
Settings live on the device and go when you delete the app, as does the random counter id. Reports carry no account, so we cannot list "yours"; to have a specific report removed, write to us with the site, date and time. Reports are kept 24 months, the IP hash 2 days.
