Skybase (paragliding companion app) · Last updated: July 16, 2026
This page explains how to delete the data Skybase holds, both on your device and on our servers. Skybase has no user accounts — the app identifies your device with an anonymous key, and almost all of your data lives only on your own phone.
Your flights and IGC track files, logbook, saved sites, gear, routes, settings and emergency-contact details are stored only on your phone. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all of it. You can export a copy first from Settings → Your data → Export my data.
Server-side data exists only if you turned on live sharing or safety features. Most of it deletes itself automatically on a short clock:
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Live in-flight positions (with your display name) | Deleted ~1 hour after your last update |
| Site condition reports (display name + short text) | Deleted after 48 hours |
| Overdue-safety watches (your name, contact's name & phone) | Deleted ~1 hour after you check in, or 1 day after the expected return time |
| SMS send log (contact number stored only as a one-way hash) | Deleted after 7 days |
| SMS enrollment ledger (one-way phone hash, no raw number) | Deleted after 180 days |
| Crowd thermal points (anonymous, aggregated — no name or identity) | Up to 2 years |
| Flying-group memberships (anonymous device key + group code) | Until you leave the group, or on request |
To have every server-side record connected to you removed ahead of the automatic schedule above:
If you also want your device data gone, simply uninstall the app — we never have a copy of your flights, logbook or settings.
Nothing identifying you. Anonymous, aggregated crowd-thermal points cannot be traced back to a device or person and may remain until their normal 2-year expiry. There are no backups of the deleted rows beyond the platform's short-lived operational backups, which expire automatically.
