UAS-IQ

The short version

UAS-IQ has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. We do not sell your information, and we do not receive it: WildBone Outdoors has no server that collects anything from the app. Your missions, flight records and logbook are stored on your phone. To show live information, the app does send a map position or a search to the public services listed below, and those services see that request.

What leaves your phone, and to whom

To show the airspace, restrictions, weather and air traffic for a spot, the app sends that spot's coordinates (or, for the TFR list, no location at all) to:

FAA airspace data, hosted by Esri ArcGIS (services6.arcgis.com) — airspace class. Esri privacy
FAA TFR service (tfr.faa.gov) — the published TFR shapes. No location is sent; the app checks your spot against them on the phone. FAA privacy
National Weather Service (api.weather.gov) — the weather forecast for that spot. NWS privacy
adsb.lol (api.adsb.lol) — manned aircraft broadcasting ADS-B near that spot. adsb.lol privacy
USGS Elevation Point Query Service (epqs.nationalmap.gov) — ground elevation at the job and each pin. USGS privacy
Other FAA data (services6.arcgis.com) — the LAANC ceiling grid, special use and prohibited airspace, national security drone restrictions, stadiums, obstacles, airports and Remote ID sites near the job.
National Park Service (services1.arcgis.com) — whether the job is inside a national park. NPS privacy
aviationweather.gov (NOAA / National Weather Service) — the nearest airport weather report. NWS privacy
NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (services.swpc.noaa.gov) — the Kp index. No location is sent.
USGS The National Map (basemap.nationalmap.gov) — satellite imagery tiles for the area you are looking at. USGS privacy

If you type an address to find a job site, the address you type is sent to the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder (privacy) and, if needed, OpenStreetMap Nominatim (privacy).

None of these requests include your name, an account or a device ID. Like any web server, these services can see your internet (IP) address and may keep ordinary server logs under their own policies, linked above. We do not control those logs.

Your location

The app asks for your phone's location to center the map, read the airspace where you stand, and, while a flight record is open, save your phone's position about every 10 seconds into that record. That track is stored only on your phone. It is where you stood, not the drone's flight path. You can turn location off in Settings and type an address or use the map instead.

Your records

Missions, hazards, pins, flight records, notes, incidents, authorizations you record, your pilot and aircraft details, and the logbook are stored only on your phone. They leave it only when you share a PDF report yourself, to whoever you choose.

How long it is kept, and deleting it

Records stay on your phone until you delete them. Logbook › Clear all stored data (tap twice) deletes everything UAS-IQ has stored on the phone. Deleting the app also deletes it. Copies may still exist in your own iPhone or iCloud backups, and in any PDF reports you already shared; those are under your control, not ours.

The website

This website (uas-iq.com) is hosted by Netlify, which keeps standard server logs. The web version of the app passes the FAA TFR, airport weather and adsb.lol requests through Netlify so a browser can reach them, and loads the map library from unpkg.com. The iPhone app calls those services directly and carries its own map library.

Links to other apps

The authorization buttons open FAA-approved LAANC apps in the App Store, or FAA DroneZone. Those are run by other companies and by the FAA, under their own privacy policies.

Children

UAS-IQ does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
