Startle collects nothing. There is no server, no account, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. Everything you create stays on your device.
Everything you create in Startle — your aircraft, drill sets, drills, flashcard decks, cards, settings, any audio you record, and all of your timing and scoring data — is stored only on the device you created it on.
None of it is transmitted anywhere. There is no Startle server to transmit it to.
Startle makes no network requests at all, with one exception: Apple's App Store, to sell the one-time unlock and to restore it if you reinstall. That transaction is handled by Apple under Apple's terms. Startle never sees your payment details.
Nobody can see your content or your scores unless you send it to them. Startle never transmits anything, and the developer has no way to see your data unless you choose to share a file with him.
Two places in the app let you share deliberately: you can export a drill set or deck to send to another crew member, and you can export a full backup. A file you send is a copy you no longer control, so send it only to people you intend to have it.
If you contact support about a fault, you may choose to attach a backup or a diagnostic log. Those files contain your own drills, decks and results. A description of the fault is usually enough, and attaching nothing is always an option.
If your device backs up to iCloud or to a computer, Startle's data is part of that device backup. Those backups are held by Apple and handled under Apple's terms, not ours.
There are none. No analytics SDK, no advertising, no attribution, no crash reporting service, no third-party code that observes your use of the app. Startle's App Store privacy disclosure is "Data Not Collected", and that is accurate.
Startle keeps a dated record on your device of the drills you run, including each drill's name, the date and time, how long you took, and how you marked yourself. It is yours. It is not verified by anyone and it is not evidence of your competence or your performance.
You can delete individual results in Session History, clear all results in Settings, and remove everything with Delete Everything & Start Over. Because nothing is stored off your device, deleting it on the device deletes it.
Startle is intended for professional flight and cabin crew and is not directed at children. It collects no information from anyone.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Because Startle collects nothing, any change is likely to be a clarification rather than a change in practice.
