App Privacy Policy
AV Assistant (AVA) requests and retains your organization details and contact information internally within the app, including your email address. Your location and your test location are used to provide you with a localized map and location-based data (aids to navigation) from the U.S. Coast Guard Light List and Local Notice to Mariners. Your photos are used to document observations of aids to navigation. This information is compiled into a report consisting of an email with several attachments. All emails from the app (reports, settings, light sets) are sent only to the email address you provide in Settings. No data is transmitted to the developer other than what Apple provides in crash data reports and app services.
