The short version
Basket Burner is a hot air balloon flight and crew logbook. Everything you enter stays on your device. The app has no account system, no servers, no analytics, no advertising and makes no network requests. We do not collect, receive, sell or share any personal data.
What the app stores on your device
| Data | Where it is kept | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flights: date, launch site, envelope, burner, duration, altitude, distance, propane figures, wind layers, checklist ticks, notes | Core Data database in the app's private container | To keep your logbook |
| Passenger and chase crew names, landowner name, field name and contact, thanked status | Core Data database in the app's private container | To record who flew and whose field was used |
| Fleet: envelopes, burners, launch sites (including site coordinates you enter) | Core Data database in the app's private container | To track equipment, inspections and launch windows |
| Inflation and landing photos you attach | JPEG files in the app's Application Support folder | To keep photos with the flight they belong to |
| Settings: sound, haptics, appearance, units, reminder preferences, home site | UserDefaults | To remember your preferences |
All of this is removed when you delete a flight, use Reset in Settings, or uninstall the app. Standard iOS device backups may include the app's data if you have backups enabled; that is handled by Apple under your iCloud or computer backup settings.
Camera and photo library
The camera is used only when you tap "Take a photo" on a flight to capture the inflation or the landing field. The photo library is used only when you tap "Choose from library". Selected images are copied into the app; your originals are never modified or deleted, and the app never reads other photos.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app schedules local reminders on your device for dawn and dusk launch windows at your home site and for the annual envelope inspection. These are computed on the device from the site coordinates and inspection dates you entered. No push notification service or remote server is involved.
Location
The app does not use device location services. Launch site coordinates are values you type in or that ship with the sample sites, and they are used only for the sunrise and sunset calculation.
Data collection disclosure
For the App Store privacy label the answer is Data Not Collected. The app does not track you, does not link data to your identity and does not use identifiers for advertising or measurement. The bundled privacy manifest declares no tracking domains and no collected data types.
Children
The app is intended for balloon pilots and crew and is not directed at children under 13. Since no data is collected, no data about children is collected either.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with an updated effective date. Questions can be sent through the support page for Basket Burner.
