SkyLedger Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 August 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to SkyLedger.
SkyLedger is a digital aircraft spotting logbook application and associated online service operated by Timothy Redman, a sole trader trading as SkyLedger (“SkyLedger”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
This Privacy Policy applies to the SkyLedger mobile applications for iOS and Android, the SkyLedger website at SkyLedgerApp.com, and associated SkyLedger services.
We take the privacy and security of our users seriously. This Privacy Policy explains:
- what personal information we collect;
- why we collect it;
- how we use it;
- where and how it may be stored;
- when service providers may process it on our behalf;
- how we use location information;
- how cookies are used on our website;
- how long information may be retained;
- how you can request deletion of your information;
- and the rights available to you.
We process personal information in accordance with applicable data-protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Our approach to your data is straightforward:
We do not sell your personal information.
We do not rent your personal information.
We do not sell your location information or spotting history.
We do not provide your personal information to data brokers.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own independent advertising or marketing purposes.
We do use trusted service providers, including Google Firebase, to provide the technical infrastructure required to operate SkyLedger. These providers may process personal information on our behalf in order to provide their services.
This is not the same as selling your personal information.
⸻
2. Who Is Responsible for Your Personal Information?
SkyLedger is operated by:
Timothy Redman trading as SkyLedger
Timothy Redman is a sole trader and, for the purposes of applicable UK data-protection legislation, is the data controller responsible for personal information processed through SkyLedger unless otherwise stated.
This means that we determine why and how personal information under our control is processed.
For privacy enquiries, requests concerning your personal information or requests to delete your SkyLedger account and associated personal data, please contact:
Email: support@skyledgerapp.com
Website: SkyLedgerApp.com
⸻
3. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed through:
- the SkyLedger iOS application;
- the SkyLedger Android application;
- SkyLedgerApp.com;
- SkyLedger user accounts;
- SkyLedger cloud services;
- aircraft logbook functionality;
- photographs stored or synchronised through SkyLedger;
- communications with SkyLedger support;
- subscription and account-management functionality;
- and other SkyLedger services that link to this Privacy Policy.
It does not govern independently operated third-party websites, applications or services, even if SkyLedger provides a link to them.
Third-party organisations have their own privacy policies and data-processing practices.
⸻
4. Information We Collect
The information we collect and process depends upon how you use SkyLedger and which features you enable.
It may include the categories described below.
⸻
5. Account Information
When you create or use a SkyLedger account, we may collect or process:
- your email address;
- your name, display name or username where provided;
- your unique SkyLedger user identifier;
- authentication identifiers;
- account creation date;
- account status;
- login and authentication information;
- subscription status;
- application preferences;
- and other information necessary to administer your account.
Authentication may be provided using Firebase Authentication or other supported authentication services.
Where a third-party authentication service is used, SkyLedger may not receive or store your actual password.
⸻
6. Aircraft Sighting and Logbook Information
SkyLedger is designed to allow you to build and maintain an aircraft spotting logbook.
Information entered or generated as part of your logbook may include:
- aircraft registrations;
- aircraft manufacturers;
- aircraft types;
- aircraft models and variants;
- airlines;
- aircraft operators;
- flight numbers;
- airports;
- spotting locations;
- latitude and longitude;
- sighting dates;
- sighting times;
- photographs;
- notes;
- information obtained from aviation-data services;
- and other information you choose to associate with a sighting.
Individual aircraft information is generally not personal information about you.
However, when aircraft sightings are associated with your SkyLedger account, they may reveal information about your activities.
For example, your spotting history may indicate where you were on a particular date.
We therefore treat account-associated logbook information appropriately as user data and, where it identifies or relates to you, as personal information.
⸻
7. Photographs and Images
SkyLedger may allow you to:
- take photographs using your device camera;
- select existing photographs from your device;
- associate photographs with aircraft sightings;
- store photographs locally;
- and synchronise photographs with SkyLedger’s cloud services.
Where photographs are uploaded to SkyLedger’s cloud infrastructure, they may be stored using Firebase Cloud Storage or related infrastructure.
Photographs can contain information other than the aircraft you intended to photograph.
For example, an image could contain:
- identifiable people;
- vehicle registration plates;
- buildings;
- location information;
- metadata;
- or other potentially identifying information.
You are responsible for ensuring that photographs you upload to SkyLedger are lawful and appropriate.
We do not sell photographs stored in your SkyLedger account.
We do not provide your photographs to advertisers or data brokers.
We do not use your photographs for unrelated advertising purposes.
⸻
8. How We Use Your Location
Location is an important part of aircraft spotting.
SkyLedger can use your device’s location to make recording aircraft sightings quicker and more useful.
If you give SkyLedger permission to access your location, the application may automatically determine your location when you use location-dependent features.
Depending upon your device, permissions and the functionality being used, this may include precise geographical location, including GPS-derived latitude and longitude.
8.1 What We Use Your Location For
SkyLedger may use location information to:
- identify airports near your current location;
- suggest the airport or location where you are spotting;
- automatically determine where an aircraft sighting is being recorded;
- associate a sighting with an airport;
- associate a sighting with a spotting location;
- reduce the information you need to enter manually;
- organise your sightings by location;
- allow you to search or review sightings by location;
- generate statistics about airports and locations you have visited;
- and provide other location-based aircraft spotting functionality.
For example, if you are spotting at an airport and create a new aircraft sighting, SkyLedger may use your current location to suggest the relevant airport rather than requiring you to find it manually.
8.2 Location Stored With Your Sightings
Where location information is recorded as part of a sighting, it becomes part of your SkyLedger logbook.
This may include:
- airport;
- named spotting location;
- latitude and longitude;
- date and time;
- or other relevant geographical information.
Depending upon the features you use, this information may be stored locally on your device and synchronised with SkyLedger’s Firebase cloud infrastructure.
A collection of historical location records can reveal significant information about an individual’s movements and activities.
For this reason, we treat account-associated location history as personal information.
8.3 Location Permissions
SkyLedger will request permission before accessing device location where required by your operating system.
Depending upon your device, you may have options including:
- precise location;
- approximate location;
- location while using the application;
- one-off location access;
- or no location access.
You remain in control of these permissions.
You can change or withdraw SkyLedger’s location permission through the privacy or location settings provided by iOS or Android.
8.4 If You Disable Location
Automatic location access is not required simply to maintain a SkyLedger aircraft logbook.
If you deny or withdraw location permission, functionality that does not require automatic location detection can continue to operate.
Where supported, you can enter an airport or spotting location manually.
Features such as automatic identification of nearby airports may not operate correctly without location permission.
8.5 Background Location
Unless SkyLedger introduces and clearly identifies functionality requiring background location in the future, SkyLedger does not use your device to continuously track your movements in the background.
Location access is intended to support aircraft spotting functionality when location information is required.
If this changes materially in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and obtain any permissions or consent required.
8.6 Existing Location History
Turning off location permission prevents future location access through that permission. It does not automatically remove location information already stored in existing sightings.
You may edit or delete relevant sightings using functionality available within SkyLedger.
You may also request deletion of your account and associated cloud-stored information.
8.7 What We Do Not Do With Your Location
SkyLedger uses your location to provide aircraft spotting functionality.
We do not sell your location information.
We do not sell your location history.
We do not provide your spotting locations to data brokers.
We do not provide your location history to third parties for their own independent advertising or marketing purposes.
We do not use your spotting locations to create advertising profiles for sale to third parties.
Where a service provider such as Google Firebase processes stored location information, it does so as part of providing infrastructure or services used to operate SkyLedger.
Our principle is simple:
Where you spotted an aircraft is useful information for your logbook. It isn’t a product for us to sell.
⸻
9. Device and Technical Information
When you use SkyLedger, technical information may be collected or generated automatically.
This may include:
- device type;
- device model;

- analytics;
- measuring website usage;
- understanding website performance;
- and remembering non-essential preferences.
Where applicable law requires consent, optional cookies will not be set until you have provided the required consent.
You will be able to reject non-essential cookies where required.
11.3 Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies using your browser settings.
Where SkyLedgerApp.com provides cookie preference controls, you can also use those controls to manage eligible cookies.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.

⸻
12. Google Firebase
SkyLedger uses Google Firebase as a core part of its backend infrastructure.
Firebase is a Google platform providing services used to develop, operate, secure, monitor and improve applications.
Depending upon the functionality currently enabled within SkyLedger, Firebase services may include those described below.

12.8 Firebase Cloud Messaging
Firebase Cloud Messaging may be used to deliver notifications to your device.
Technical information such as notification tokens may be processed to deliver notifications.
You can control SkyLedger notifications through your device settings.
12.9 Other Firebase Services
SkyLedger may use additional Firebase services where necessary to operate, secure, monitor or improve the application.
Where introducing a service materially changes how personal information is processed, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
12.10 Google’s Role
Google may process information on behalf of SkyLedger when providing Firebase and associated cloud infrastructure.
Google operates internationally and information may therefore be processed outside the United Kingdom.
Where required by applicable data-protection law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers.
The use of Firebase does not mean that SkyLedger sells your personal information to Google.
⸻
13. Why We Process Personal Information

⸻
14. Our Lawful Bases for Processing
UK GDPR requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
The applicable basis depends upon the particular processing activity.
14.1 Contract
Processing may be necessary to provide SkyLedger services you have requested.
For example, we need to process account information to operate your account and store your sightings where cloud synchronisation forms part of the service.
14.2 Legitimate Interests
We may process limited personal information where necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Our legitimate interests may include:
- securing SkyLedger;
- preventing fraud and abuse;
- diagnosing technical problems;
- maintaining reliability;
- understanding application performance;
- improving SkyLedger;
- and operating the service efficiently.
14.3 Consent
Where required, we may rely upon your consent.
This may apply to:
- certain cookies;
- analytics technologies where consent is required;
- device permissions;
- location access;
- optional communications;
- and other optional functionality.
Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw your consent.
14.4 Legal Obligation
We may process information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
⸻
15. Subscriptions and Payments
SkyLedger may provide paid subscriptions, including SkyLedger Pro.
Purchases through the iOS application may be processed by Apple.
Purchases through the Android application may be processed by Google Play.
These organisations may process information required to complete purchases and manage subscriptions.
SkyLedger does not necessarily receive or store your complete debit or credit card details when payment is processed by an app store or external payment provider.
We may receive information concerning a purchase, including:
- subscription plan;
- subscription status;
- purchase date;
- renewal status;
- expiry date;
- transaction identifiers;
- receipt information;
- and whether an entitlement is active.
Payment and app-store providers process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
⸻
16. Aviation Data Providers
SkyLedger may use third-party aviation-data services to obtain information about:
- aircraft;
- registrations;
- flights;
- airlines;
- operators;
- airports;
- runways;
- frequencies;
- and other aviation information.
When you request information through functionality dependent upon an external aviation-data provider, information necessary to perform that request may be sent to the relevant provider.
For example, an aircraft registration or flight number may be submitted to an aviation-data service so that SkyLedger can retrieve corresponding information.
Third-party providers may also receive standard technical information associated with requests made to their services.
Where a provider processes personal information on our behalf, appropriate data-protection arrangements will be used where required.
⸻
17. When Personal Information Is Processed by Others
We do not sell personal information.
We do not rent personal information.
We do not provide SkyLedger user databases to advertisers or data brokers.
However, operating an online application requires third-party organisations to provide technical services.
Service providers may therefore process information on our behalf where necessary to provide services such as:
- cloud hosting;
- Firebase infrastructure;
- authentication;
- databases;
- file storage;
- analytics;
- crash reporting;
- application performance monitoring;
- app distribution;
- payment and subscription processing;
- email;
- security;
- technical monitoring;
- and aviation-data services.
We seek to limit information provided to service providers to what is reasonably necessary for their function and expect providers to process information in accordance with applicable contractual and legal obligations.
⸻
18. Legal Disclosure
There may be exceptional circumstances in which we are legally required or lawfully permitted to disclose personal information.
This may occur where necessary to:
- comply with applicable law;
- comply with a court order;
- respond to a valid request from law-enforcement or regulatory authorities;
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
- investigate fraud;
- investigate misuse of SkyLedger;
- protect the security of SkyLedger;
- or protect the rights, property or safety of SkyLedger, our users or others.
We will not disclose personal information to public authorities merely because it has been requested where we have no lawful basis to do so.
⸻
19. International Transfers
Some service providers used by SkyLedger, including Google, operate internationally.
Personal information may therefore be processed or stored outside the United Kingdom.
Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we will use an appropriate recognised mechanism.
Depending upon the circumstances, this may include:
- an applicable adequacy regulation;
- recognised contractual safeguards;
- the UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
- the UK Addendum to recognised standard contractual clauses;
- or another lawful transfer mechanism.
⸻
20. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against:
- unauthorised access;
- accidental loss;
- unlawful disclosure;
- alteration;
- misuse;
- and destruction.
Measures may include, where appropriate:
- authenticated user accounts;
- Firebase security controls;
- access controls;
- encrypted network communications;
- restricted administrative access;
- secure development practices;
- software updates;
- monitoring;
- and backups.
No internet-connected service or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should use strong and unique passwords where passwords are applicable.
If you believe your SkyLedger account has been compromised, please contact:
support@skyledgerapp.com
⸻
21. Personal Data Breaches
If we become aware of a personal-data breach, we will investigate it and take reasonable steps to limit its effects.
Where required by law, we will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office or other appropriate supervisory authority.
Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of affected individuals, we will notify those individuals where legally required.
⸻
22. How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, security, accounting and operational requirements.
Account information will generally be retained while your SkyLedger account remains active.
Aircraft sightings, photographs and associated logbook information may remain stored while your account exists unless you delete the information or request deletion of your account.
Technical and diagnostic information may be retained for shorter periods appropriate to security, diagnostics and system operation.
Certain information may need to be retained for longer where required by law or reasonably necessary to:
- resolve disputes;
- prevent fraud;
- enforce agreements;
- maintain financial records;
- or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
⸻
23. Backups
SkyLedger may maintain backups as part of normal service operation, security and disaster recovery.
When information is deleted from active systems, copies may remain temporarily in backups until those backups are overwritten or expire according to their normal lifecycle.
Deleted information retained solely within a backup will not normally be restored to active systems except where necessary for legitimate disaster-recovery purposes.
⸻
24. Deleting Your SkyLedger Account and Personal Data
You can request deletion of your SkyLedger account and associated personal information.
To make a deletion request, contact:
support@skyledgerapp.com
Where possible, please contact us from the email address associated with your SkyLedger account.
We may need to verify your identity before deleting information. This is intended to protect users against fraudulent or unauthorised deletion requests.
Following successful verification, we will delete or anonymise personal information that we are not legally required or otherwise lawfully permitted to retain.
Depending upon the information associated with your account, deletion may include:
- account information;
- cloud-stored aircraft sightings;
- spotting locations;
- historical location information;
- user-created notes;
- photographs stored within SkyLedger’s cloud services;
- preferences;
- and other personal information associated with your account.
Account deletion may be irreversible.
Where SkyLedger provides an export function, you should export any information you wish to retain before deleting your account.
Deleting the SkyLedger application from your device does not automatically delete your SkyLedger account or information stored in the cloud.
You must use any account-deletion functionality provided by SkyLedger or contact support@skyledgerapp.com if you want your account and associated cloud data deleted.
⸻

You do not have to contact us before exercising your right to complain to the ICO.
⸻
27. Children’s Privacy
SkyLedger is not specifically designed as a service for young children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental consent or another lawful basis would be required and has not been obtained.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to SkyLedger inappropriately, please contact:
support@skyledgerapp.com
We will investigate and take appropriate action.

Where consent is required, marketing communications will only be sent after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications using the method provided in the communication or by contacting us.
Service communications necessary to administer your account or provide important security information are not necessarily marketing communications.
⸻
33. Advertising
SkyLedger does not sell personal information to advertisers.
We do not provide your spotting history or location history to advertisers for their own independent advertising purposes.
If SkyLedger introduces advertising or advertising technologies in the future that materially change how personal information is processed, this Privacy Policy will be updated before that processing is introduced where required.
Any consent required by law will be obtained.
⸻
34. Third-Party Links and Services
SkyLedger and SkyLedgerApp.com may contain links to third-party websites or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of independently operated third-party services.
We recommend reviewing the relevant privacy policy before providing personal information to an external service.
⸻
35. App Store Privacy Information
Apple and Google may require SkyLedger to provide information about the categories of data collected by the application and how that data is used.
We aim to ensure that information provided through the Apple App Store, Google Play and other distribution platforms accurately reflects SkyLedger’s data-processing practices.
The app stores themselves may collect information independently when you download, purchase or use applications.
Their processing is governed by their respective privacy policies.
⸻
