SquawkLive Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2026 (push alerts). SquawkLive is made by MD5TO, a DBA of A&M Olivieri LLC, Florida. We collect as little as possible and we never sell your data.

Account (optional)

You can use SquawkLive without an account. If you create one with Sign in with Apple or your email, we store your email, your name if Apple shares it, and whether you agreed to receive occasional emails. You can delete your account at any time in More › Account › Delete account.

Location

If you allow it, the app uses your location only on your iPhone to center the map and show aircraft flying over you. Your location is not sent to us. To find aircraft around the map area, the app sends the map's center point (not your identity) to the aircraft data service.

Flights you track

Settings and listening time are saved only on your iPhone. If you allow notifications, the flight numbers in My Flights, a random device ID and Apple's push token are sent to our server so we can alert you when a flight takes off or lands. Nothing else is sent, and the data is deleted when you remove the flights or after 45 days without use.

Purchases

Apple processes all payments. We never see your card or Apple ID.

Ads

The free version shows Google AdMob ads. We request non-personalized ads only and do not track you across other apps. Pro removes ads. See Google's policy: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Anonymous usage counts

The app sends simple counts such as "opened the app" or "opened the plans screen", with the app version and platform. They never include your name, email, location or anything you type. You can turn them off in More › Settings.

Third-party data

Aircraft positions come from adsb.lol under the Open Database License. Live ATC audio, when available, is streamed from licensed providers. Opening a recommended link takes you to that website, which has its own privacy policy. Some product links are affiliate links (as an Amazon Associate MD5TO earns from qualifying purchases).

Children

SquawkLive is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.
