If you are signed in and have an active subscription, eligible study progress may also sync through our cloud service so that your progress can follow you across devices. Synced data may include lesson progress, flashcard progress, quiz-related progress, last active course, account metadata, and update timestamps.
7. Analytics and Diagnostics
We use analytics services to understand how the app is used and to improve the app. Analytics events are intended to describe app behavior, not sensitive personal content.
We use diagnostics services to collect crash reports, non-fatal errors, diagnostic logs, app version, build number, operating system version, and related technical information. This helps us find and fix issues.
We use configuration services to deliver app configuration. These services may process installation, device, and technical information necessary to provide that service.
8. Subscriptions and Purchases
Subscriptions are purchased and managed through Apple's App Store. Apple handles payment information, and we do not receive your full credit card or payment account number.
We use a subscription provider to verify entitlements, restore purchases, and determine whether your subscription is active. When you sign in, we may associate subscription records with your app account and, when available, your email address to help provide account-based access and support.
Deleting your HelicopterSchool account does not cancel your App Store subscription. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple account settings or through the app's subscription management screen.

Subscriptions
App Store subscriptions are managed by Apple. You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple account settings or from the app's subscription management screen.
