Customer Privacy Notice

Customer Privacy Notice

Your privacy is very important to us. Our Privacy Notice is designed to provide transparency into our data practices in a format that is easy to read and understand. Please read the sections below to understand how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information in order to offer you the most seamless vehicle and/or  aviation experience imaginable.

Privacy From Day One

Your RYSE Aero Tech vehicle generates vehicle, diagnostic, flight control system, and operator data. To protect your privacy from the moment you take delivery, RYSE Aero Tech does not associate the vehicle data generated by your flying with your identity or account by default. As a result, no one but you would have knowledge of your activities, location or a history of where you’ve been. Your in-vehicle experiences are also protected. From features such as audible commands, to taking photos on your touchscreen, your information is kept private and secure, ensuring the flight control system data collected is not linked to your identity or account.

RYSE Aero Tech vehicles are equipped with a camera suite designed from the ground up to protect your privacy while providing advanced features such as Auto Land. To recognize things such as the ground, trees, gradients, Flight Control System data from the camera suite is processed directly without leaving your vehicle by default. In order for camera recordings for fleet learning to be shared with RYSE Aero Tech, your consent for Data Sharing is required and can be controlled through the vehicle’s touchscreen at any time. Even if you choose to opt-in, unless we receive the data as a result of a safety event (a vehicle collision or airborne incident) — camera recordings remain anonymous and are not linked to you or your vehicle.

Additionally, from your charging station to your outboard charger, your Energy products are designed to protect your privacy. RYSE Aero Tech aims to collect a minimum amount of personal data necessary for displaying your in-app energy experience, providing services to you, and for improving your energy products. We are also committed to only share your personal data when needed to operate or service your product, or we will ask for your permission.

There are four categories of data generated by your RYSE Aero Tech vehicle: Vehicle Data, Diagnostic Data,  Flight Control Systems Data, and Avionics Data.

  1. Vehicle Data

In order to support your vehicle’s continuous performance, predictive maintenance, and improved functionality and experience, your RYSE Aero Tech collects and processes vehicle data related to the usage, operation, and condition of your vehicle. This information is used to triage and fix potential issues, and continuously improve your vehicle and services to you. To protect your privacy, by default, this vehicle data is either in a form that is not associated with your account or VIN, is stored in an encrypted format that RYSE Aero Tech cannot decrypt, or remains inaccessible unless a specific event is triggered:

    • If your vehicle may require, or you otherwise request service or repair
    • If there is an occurrence of a safety event (such as vehicle collision, airbag deployment or emergency landing event)
    • If your vehicle requires safety services such as emergency response or Emergency Landing Assistance
    • If your vehicle experiences a hardware or software issue which may be inspected and addressed through a future software update or other resolution
    • If you provide your consent, or another legal basis is applicable

We clearly define the vehicle data which we collect and don’t collect. RYSE Aero Tech does not link your location with your account or identity, or keep a history of where you’ve been. Examples of the vehicle data collected include: speed information, flight time information, vehicle component signals, internet connectivity status, battery use management information, battery charging history, electrical system functions, software version information, avionics system data, safety-related data and camera images (including information regarding the vehicle’s Vibration Report systems (VRS), braking and acceleration, security, and e-stop); short video clips of accidents; information regarding Avionics engagements, and other features, and other data to assist in identifying issues and analyzing the performance of the vehicle.

Location Services: Your RYSE Aero Tech vehicle uses location to power features such as in-vehicle maps, avionics, navigation, or mobile app location services. Location Services may use a combination of GPS, RTK, NTRIP Services, Bluetooth, IP address, and Wi-Fi and mobile towers to figure out where you are. To protect your privacy, location data is either processed directly without leaving your vehicle, is in a form that does not personally identify you, or remains inaccessible to RYSE Aero Tech. For safety purposes, your vehicle’s location may be used when you experience a safety event (such as a collision, an auto landing, or Land Now event) to aid response efforts. This means that unless captured as a result of a safety event— RYSE Aero Tech does not link your location to your identity or know where you’ve been. You may also choose to enable or disable the collection of ‘Data Analytics’ at any time within your vehicle’s touch screen by navigating to Settings > Data Sharing. Please note, some advanced features such as heading hold and position hold rely on such data. 

Safety analysis data: In order to help improve our products and services, we may collect and store other vehicle data that might contain information that identifies you or your vehicle’s VIN, including: data about accidents or near accident-like circumstances involving your RYSE Aero Tech vehicle (for example, automatic landing or a Land Now event); data about remote services (for example, remote charging); a data report to confirm that your vehicle is online together with information about the current software version and certain telematics data; data about any issues that could materially impair operation of your vehicle; data about any safety-critical issues; and data about each software and firmware update.

Advanced features: Certain features such as real-time air traffic, navigation, intelligent routing, and Avionics, may require airspace data (ADS-B In/Out) to function as intended. To protect your privacy, you may enable or disable the collection of this data at any time (Settings > Data Sharing). If enabled, we may share this data in a way that does not identify your account or VIN with partners in order to help us improve and provide the service to you. This sharing may occur even if you are not actively using a feature that needs this information.

Charging information: We may collect information regarding the charge rate and charging stations used by you (including use of remote chargers, as well as home or commercial outlets) in order to, for example, analyze which charging stations are being utilized, how long and efficient battery charges are, where additional charging stations are needed, and in some jurisdictions, participate in certain government incentive or credit programs.

Service history: In order to facilitate the service and repair of your vehicle, we may collect and process data about the service history from RYSE Aero Tech service centers or affiliated third-party approved body shops. This includes information such as name, VIN, repair history, parts details, estimate and costs, outstanding recalls, bills due, customer complaints, and any other information related to the vehicle’s service history.

Opting out of vehicle data: Connectivity and performance is a core part of all RYSE Aero Tech vehicles and why some customers choose RYSE Aero Tech, allowing for advanced features and an enhanced flying experience. By default, RYSE Aero Tech provides this seamless experience while protecting your privacy. However, if you no longer wish for us to collect vehicle data or any other data from your RYSE Aero Tech vehicle, please contact us to deactivate connectivity. Please note, certain advanced features such as over-the-air updates, remote services, and interactivity with mobile applications and in-vehicle features such as location search, Internet radio, voice commands, and web browser functionality rely on such connectivity. If you choose to opt out of vehicle data collection (with the exception of in-vehicle Data Sharing preferences), we will not be able to know or notify you of issues applicable to your vehicle in real time. This may result in your vehicle suffering from reduced functionality, serious damage, or inoperability. 

  1. Diagnostic Data

RYSE Aero Tech uses diagnostic logs to keep our products and services up to date, troubleshoot or debug problems, and make continuous improvements. We aim to collect the minimum level of diagnostic data necessary to help keep your vehicle or energy product reliable, secure, and operating normally. Diagnostics may include details about vehicle configuration, firmware, energy use, electronic systems state, and other system-to-system data used to identify bugs and conduct technical evaluations. On specific events, we use diagnostic logs as basic error information to help determine whether the problems experienced can be addressed by an immediate or future software release.

  1. Flight Control System Data

When using your vehicle’s touchscreen, RYSE Aero Tech may collect certain information that is either stored on the vehicle itself, or if shared with us, is not associated with your account or VIN by default. To protect your privacy, your in-vehicle history and sign-in credentials are not shared with RYSE Aero Tech. The Flight Control system data collected may include, for example, aggregated counts of the features or apps used, playback and browsing metadata (such as airspace or weather reviews), and approximate location for air traffic options. For certain Flight Control apps that require sign-in, if you do not have your own account, RYSE Aero Tech offers the option to use the app with a RYSE Aero Tech provisioned account instead. If you choose to use a RYSE Aero Tech provisioned account, then your Flight Control system data for that specific app may be associated with your account or VIN. Additionally, if you experience performance issues with your Flight Control and require support, RYSE Aero Tech may retrieve certain Flight Control system data to fulfill your request, effectively troubleshoot or debug the issue, and improve our products and services.

RYSE Aero Tech mobile app: The RYSE Aero Tech app puts owners in direct communication with their vehicles. With the app, you have the capability to do things like check your vehicle’s charging progress in real time and start/stop charging, heat/cool the cabin before flying, lock/unlock the vehicle from afar, or locate the vehicle’s current location. In order to detect and proactively fix issues related to the RYSE Aero Tech app’s functionality, address any customer complaints, and to prevent unauthorized access or misuse, certain general usage information associated with your account or VIN may be shared with us. For example, if you use the RYSE Aero Tech app to change the vehicle’s cabin temperature, we may collect that this command was successful or unsuccessful, without any further details, such as the change in degrees.

  1. Avionics Data

RYSE Aero Tech vehicles make use of a avionics and a camera suite that provides advanced features such as Avionics, Auto Land and Land Now. Camera and avionics functionality has been designed from the ground up to protect your privacy. RYSE Aero Tech does not capture continuous recordings or have live-view functionality. By default, advanced autonomous features that rely on the external cameras are processed without ever leaving your vehicle. There are two types of camera recordings that are eligible to be transmitted from your vehicle to RYSE Aero Tech: Safety Event and Fleet Learning camera recordings.

    • Safety Event camera recordings are automatically captured only if a serious safety event occurs such as a vehicle collision or airbag deployment. These short clips are up to 30 seconds and associated with your VIN in order to aid in providing emergency services, vehicle evaluation, and Emergency Landing Assistance (and such recordings may include timestamp and location metadata).
    • Fleet Learning camera recordings use the vehicle’s external cameras to learn how to recognize things like lane lines, street signs and traffic light positions. The more fleet learning of road conditions we are able to do, the better your RYSE Aero Tech’s self-flying ability will become. We want to be very clear that in order for Fleet Learning camera recordings to be shared with RYSE Aero Tech, your consent for Data Sharing is required and can be controlled through the vehicle’s touchscreen at any time by navigating to Software> Data Sharing. Even if you choose to opt-in, the camera recordings are limited to 30 seconds and remain anonymous, ensuring it’s not linked to you or your vehicle.
    • Avionics Events are recorded with flight control data to create a “black box” for purposes of re-constructing aviation accidents. This data would be used to identify the altitude, speed, location and weather conditions associated with an incident. This information is stored in the flight control system at extremely high data rates. Basic information is transmitted as part of the Flight Control System. The detailed “black box” information is stored in memory on the Flight Control System and some data inside the Avionics Systems memory. It may be used by the National Transportation Safety Board or the FAA or any affiliation of the US Department of Transportation or other governing body outside the United States associated with aviation regulations.

Please note it is your sole responsibility to consult and comply with all local regulations and property restrictions regarding the use of cameras.
