Last updated: April 2, 2026
Redshift Software, LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Flyby application and related services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use our satellite and launch tracking app (the "App").
1. Data Controller
Redshift Software, LLC is the data controller for your personal data. For any data-related requests, contact us at info@redshift.llc.
2. Information We Collect
Account Identifier: The App generates a random anonymous identifier (UUID) on your device. No name, email, or login credentials are collected.
Device Information: We collect your device's vendor identifier (for account recovery), platform, app version, and Apple Push Notification service (APNs) tokens for delivering notifications.
Precise Location: With your permission, we collect your GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude) and time zone to calculate satellite pass predictions and launch visibility for your area. Your location is stored on our servers to compute predictions and send timely push notifications.
Notification Preferences: Your chosen notification settings (launch alerts, satellite alerts, viewing window preferences, followed space agencies).
Subscription Information: If you subscribe to Flyby Pro, we store your subscription product ID, expiration date, and Apple transaction ID for subscription management. Payment processing is handled entirely by Apple.
User Feedback: If you submit feedback through the App, we store the feedback text and your app version.
Analytics Data (with consent for EU/EEA users): We use Firebase Analytics and TikTok Business SDK to understand how the App is used, including which features are popular, session duration, and navigation patterns. For users in the EU/EEA, analytics data is only collected after you provide explicit consent.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (EU/EEA Users)
We process your personal data on the following legal bases under GDPR Article 6:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Analytics tracking (Firebase, TikTok), precise location access. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): Account creation, subscription management, and delivering the core App service (satellite predictions, push notifications).
- Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): Security measures (device verification), service improvement, and maintaining service reliability.
4. How We Use Your Information

6. International Data Transfers
Your data is processed on servers located in the United States. Third-party services (Google/Firebase, TikTok) may process data in the United States and other countries. For EU/EEA users, these transfers are made in reliance on Standard Contractual Clauses and the service providers' own compliance frameworks.
