[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 89461, member: 10850"] Technically the app gets very basic information but it's just enough for functionality and not for spying (yet). No way to know if data is stored or just ephemeral. There is no user account or email address needed but obviously they have your IP address from the device (that can be masked). When you go to Map screen it automatically loads your current location (you can turn off Location Services and use pinch and zoom instead). The other screens have lots of pop ups for entering flight plans. This is the initial implementation to get digital clearance with ATC instead of phone calls. It's not intended to track you secretly and it's optional for now. Once LAANC system is fully operational I suspect all apps (even DJI Go) with be tracking flights in certain areas. It's inevitable once the technology allows for it -- then will begin the cat and mouse game with folks trying to circumvent it. [/QUOTE]
