Volara Log ("the App", "we", "us") is a personal flight logbook application for pilots, developed by Volara Lab. This Privacy Policy explains what data the App handles, how it is stored, and what control you have over it.
All flight, duty, simulator, crew, and aircraft records you enter are stored locally on your device, in a private database that only the App can access. Volara Lab does not operate a server or database that stores your logbook data. We cannot see, access, or recover your records — if you lose your device without a backup, your data is gone.
If you choose to connect Google Drive, the App stores a copy of your data in a hidden, app-specific folder in your own Google Drive account (Google's "appDataFolder"). This folder is not visible in your regular Drive file listing and is only accessible to the App itself, using your Google account's own storage and permissions. Volara Lab has no access to this folder or its contents — the data is encrypted in transit and stored under Google's own security model, governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
You can disconnect Google Drive at any time from Settings, and revoke the App's access entirely from your Google Account permissions page.
If you choose to connect Google Calendar, the App requests read-only access to import your duty roster. This connection is independent from Google Drive (separate login, separate permission) so you can use a different Google account for each if you wish. The App reads calendar events only when you trigger an import — it does not continuously monitor your calendar, and no calendar data is stored anywhere other than the duty records you explicitly choose to import into your own local/synced logbook.
If and when the App offers a paid subscription, payment is processed entirely through the app store you installed the App from — Google Play Billing (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS), as applicable. Volara Lab never receives or stores your payment card details — Google or Apple handles that transaction under their own privacy and security terms.
You can delete your data at any time in one or more of these ways:
Volara Log is intended for licensed and student pilots and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction).
We rely on your device's own operating system security and Google's account security (for Drive/Calendar sync) to protect your data. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
