Privacy Policy for Wbando
Effective Date: December 2, 2025
Last Updated: August 17, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Wbando. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we look after your personal data when you use the Wbando mobile application (iOS/Android) and web application, and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
Who We Are (The Data Controller): The Wbando software is operated by:
Nazarii Ovcharchyn (Individual Entrepreneur)
Tax ID: CZ21740585
Address: Strasnicka 16, Prague, Czech Republic
Email: hello@wbando.com
2. The Data We Collect About You
We collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, which we have grouped together as follows:
A. Information You Provide to Us
- Identity Data: When you create an account with an email address and password, we collect that email address. When you sign in through Google or Apple (where available), we collect your basic profile information as permitted by your provider settings (typically your name, email address, and profile picture/avatar). You can also use Wbando as a guest without providing any identity data — a random account identifier is created so the app can function.
- User Content: This includes BBL (Blackbox Logs) or other flight data files you voluntarily upload, and your saved scans and locations.
- Note on Encryption: BBL files uploaded to Wbando are encrypted. They are accessible only by you (the account holder). Wbando does not publicly share this data.
- Purchase Data: If you buy a subscription, the purchase is made through the Apple App Store or Google Play and billed by that store. We receive your subscription status and purchase history (product, price, renewal state) through our subscription-management provider RevenueCat so we can activate your subscription. We never receive or store your payment-card details — payment is handled entirely by the store.
B. Information We Collect Automatically
- Location Data (GPS): We collect precise location data (GPS coordinates) to facilitate drone utility features (such as spot finding or flight tracking).
- Consent: We will always explicitly ask for your permission before accessing your location. You can revoke this permission at any time in your device settings.
- Technical & Usage Data: We collect information about how you use the app (screens viewed, features used), crash reports, your device type, IP address, and operating system version, using Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics. When you are signed in, this data is linked to a user identifier so we can understand feature usage and fix problems affecting your account.
3. How We Use Your Personal Data

4. Third-Party Services (Data Processors)
To provide the Wbando service, we use trusted third-party service providers. We have Data Processing Agreements in place with these providers to ensure they protect your data.
- Google Services (USA/EU): We use Google for Authentication, Analytics, Crashlytics, Hosting, and database infrastructure.
- RevenueCat (USA): Processes subscription purchase information (linked to an app user identifier) so we can activate and manage your subscription across your devices. Your actual payment is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their own terms and privacy policies.
- Mapping Providers: We use Mapbox, MapLibre, and MapTiles to display maps within the application. When you load a map, your IP address and map request data may be processed by these providers to render the visual tiles.
International Transfers: Some of our external third parties (like Google and Mapbox) are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions are in place.
5. Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way.
- User-uploaded flight logs (BBL files) are encrypted at rest.
- Access to your account is secured via Google's authentication standards.
6. Data Retention
How long will you use my personal data? We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for.
- Active Accounts: We keep your data while your account is active so you can access your history and logs.
- Account Deletion: You can delete your account directly in the app (Profile → Delete account), or request deletion as described at wbando.com/delete-account. Deletion removes your account, your saved scans and locations, your uploaded logs, and analytics identifiers linked to your account immediately, subject to a technical buffer period (up to 30 days) to clear data from backup systems.
- Note: Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription — cancel it in your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
7. Your Legal Rights (GDPR)
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data (a "data subject access request").
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.
- Request erasure of your personal data (The "Right to be Forgotten").
- Object to processing of your personal data.
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your data (e.g., Location services).
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@wbando.com. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.
8. Children's Privacy
Wbando does not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from anyone under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country). If you are under the relevant age, please do not use Wbando or send any personal data to us. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
9. Liability Disclaimer
Please note that Wbando is a software utility tool. While we strive to provide accurate data, Wbando is not responsible for the actions taken by pilots while using the application. Pilots are solely responsible for adhering to local aviation regulations, flying safely, and maintaining control of their aircraft at all times.
10. Contact and Complaints
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please contact us at hello@wbando.com.
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů (The Office for Personal Data Protection), the Czech Republic's supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.uoou.cz). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the authority, so please contact us in the first instance.
