This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which OzRunways Pty. Ltd. collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the https://ozrunways.com website (”Site”); OzRunways EFB and NAIPS for iPad and iPhone, and RWY and NAIPS for Android (”Apps”). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by OzRunways Pty. Ltd.
Personal identification information
We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, register on the site, place an order, subscribe to the newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site and Apps. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site and App related activities.
Non-personal identification information
We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site or Apps. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users’ means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.
Web browser cookies
Our Site may use "cookies" to enhance User experience. Users’ web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Users may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.
Location Information from the OzRunways and RWY apps
The 'Traffic' services in OzRunways or RWY → Settings → Traffic, will send a position report to our servers so, while you are flying, other OzRunways and RWY users may see where you are on a map relative to their position to increase safety and situational awareness. If you are not flying (defined as speed > 70kts or above 200 ft), we send a random position within 60nm of your location to protect your privacy. This randomised position is dropped by our server and not shown to any other user. Your live airborne location will be shared with other users including:
Live information sent to other copies of OzRunways and RWY to display your position on their map and on tx.ozrunways.com (the purpose of the feature!),
Emergency services (SAR e.g. AMSA) and accident investigation organisations (e.g. ATSB) for the purposes of aviation safety, and
Where required by law with appropriate warrants/orders.
We will not give your historical position information to CASA (or other foreign government agencies) without court order or where required by law.
We will not permit other companies or commercial entities to use your position data for their own purposes.
We will not provide traffic data or any other information to insurance companies or investigators.
Additionally, you cannot view other users' traffic information without sending your own (or an approximate) position (this is required for technical reasons). The historical data will be retained for up to 60 days but may be retained for longer periods in our offline server archives/backups. If you would not like this information to be collected, you can turn off traffic in OzRunways → Settings → Traffic.
