MoonBrief Privacy Policy
Sublimate LLC ("Sublimate," "we," "us" or "our") provides the MoonBrief mobile application (the "App"). MoonBrief is an aviation and astronomical planning tool. Most of the information you enter, including selected dates, times, locations, thresholds and saved favorites, is processed and stored on your device. We do not create MoonBrief user accounts and do not operate a MoonBrief cloud database for this information.
The App uses third-party services for advertising, Apple services for device features and purchases and the Aviation Weather Center for weather data. Those services may process information as described below and in their own policies.
Information You Provide Or The App Uses
Location And Planning Information
You may enter an airport identifier, latitude/longitude, MGRS grid, date, time, illumination thresholds or flight-plan data. If you choose "Use Device Location," the App requests permission to access your device's location. MoonBrief uses this information to calculate astronomical conditions, identify a nearby airport, determine an applicable time zone and display location-based information.
Your saved favorites, planning settings, selected locations and imported .fpl flight-plan data are stored locally on your device unless you choose to share an item using iOS sharing features. We do not upload these items to a MoonBrief server.
MoonBrief may use Apple location and reverse-geocoding services to determine a time zone or location-related information. Apple handles information processed by its services under its own privacy policies.
Weather Requests
To display aviation ceiling information, the App requests METAR and TAF data from the Aviation Weather Center at aviationweather.gov. These requests may include an airport identifier and, when necessary, a nearby geographic area derived from the selected airport. The Aviation Weather Center and the network providers involved in the request may receive technical information such as your IP address.
Feedback
When you choose to send feedback, MoonBrief opens your device's mail application with a prepared recipient and subject line. You control whether to send the email and what information to include. If you send an email to us, we receive the information in that email, including your email address. We use that information to respond to you or address the feedback.
Purchases
MoonBrief offers optional in-app purchases that remove advertising. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. Sublimate does not receive or store your full payment-card information. Apple handles purchase information under its own privacy policy.
Advertising And Google AdMob
The free version of MoonBrief may display banner advertisements provided through Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). Google and its advertising partners may collect or receive information such as device identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, ad interactions, app interactions, performance information and diagnostic information to provide, measure, secure and improve advertising and related services.
MoonBrief does not request App Tracking Transparency permission or access the Apple advertising identifier (IDFA) for cross-app tracking. Google may nevertheless process information according to its own privacy policy and applicable settings. You can learn more at policies.google.com/privacy.
You may purchase an ad-free option in the App to stop MoonBrief from requesting banner advertisements. This does not control information that third parties may have collected before the purchase.
How We Use Information
- Calculate and display astronomical, aviation and weather-related information.
- Retain your on-device favorites and preferences.
- Provide optional in-app purchase access.
- Respond to feedback you choose to send.

When Information Is Shared
We do not sell personal information directly. Information may be processed by the following categories of third parties when you use the related App features:

- Google AdMob: advertising, advertising measurement, diagnostics and performance information for ad-supported users.
- Aviation Weather Center: weather-data requests for selected airports or nearby airport areas.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights, safety and security or in connection with a corporate transaction involving Sublimate LLC.
Your Choices
- You can deny or revoke location permission in your device settings. Some location-based features may then be unavailable or less accurate.
- You can edit or delete saved favorites and remove the App to delete locally stored App data from your device.
- You can choose not to send feedback emails.

Data Retention
Local App data remains on your device until you delete it, remove the App or reset your device. Feedback emails and related correspondence are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain records, resolve issues and meet legal obligations. Third-party services retain information under their own policies.
Children
MoonBrief is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to us, contact us at info@sublimatellc.com.
International Users
MoonBrief and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the App or applicable law changes. We will post the updated policy on our website and revise the effective date above. Your continued use of MoonBrief after an update is subject to the updated policy.
