Data Governance
AeroSky, India's Flight Intelligence Network, demands the highest standards of data stewardship. Here is how AeroLytics protects, governs, and responsibly uses the data that powers AeroSky.
Our Governance Principles
Sovereignty First
All data is hosted within Indian borders. No information leaves sovereign boundaries, ensuring full jurisdictional control.
Transparency by Design
Every data collection, processing, and sharing practice is documented and accessible. No hidden pipelines or undisclosed usage.
Privacy as a Default
Personal data is anonymised at the point of collection. Individual identities are never exposed in analytics or intelligence outputs.
Collective Benefit
AeroSky's aggregated insights benefit the entire aviation ecosystem - airports, airlines, regulators, and passengers - while protecting individual privacy.
Local Hosting & Data Sovereignty
AeroLytics operates AeroSky on 100% India-hosted infrastructure. Every byte of data - from raw ADS-B receiver telemetry to processed flight intelligence outputs - remains within Indian sovereign boundaries. This is not a policy choice; it is an architectural guarantee.
India-Hosted Infrastructure
All servers, databases, and processing pipelines operate within Indian data centres. Zero cross-border data transfers.
Regional Redundancy
Multi-region deployment across Indian availability zones ensures high availability without compromising data residency.
Sovereign Aviation Data
AeroSky operates on India-hosted infrastructure for aggregated aviation intelligence, keeping all flight tracking and airspace analytics data processing within national boundaries.
Jurisdictional Control
Data governance policies are enforced at the infrastructure level, ensuring compliance with Indian regulatory requirements by default.
DPDP Act Compliance
AeroLytics is designed for full compliance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Our data handling practices align with the Act's requirements across every stage of the data lifecycle.
- Lawful Processing
- All personal data processing is grounded in clear legal bases - consent, legitimate interest, or regulatory obligation - as defined by the DPDP Act, 2023.
- Data Minimisation
- Only data necessary for the stated purpose is collected. Passenger experience insights are derived from anonymised, aggregated signals.
- Rights of Data Principals
- Individuals can access, correct, or request deletion of their personal data. Mechanisms are in place for timely response to data principal requests.
- Data Fiduciary Obligations
- AeroLytics operates as a responsible data fiduciary with documented security safeguards, breach notification procedures, and regular compliance audits.
- Encryption Standards
- AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit protect all data throughout its lifecycle.
- Audit Trail
- Full audit logs for all data access, model predictions, and processing activities ensure accountability and traceability.
Community-Powered Intelligence
AeroSky builds intelligence from its community-powered ADS-B network. When aviation enthusiasts host ADS-B receivers and airports, airlines, and researchers contribute anonymised signals, the entire ecosystem benefits from richer, more accurate flight tracking and airspace analytics - without any single entity's data being exposed.
ADS-B Community Network
Community members host ADS-B receivers that feed anonymised flight data into AeroSky. Individual receiver data is aggregated to build comprehensive airspace coverage across India.
Shared Flight Intelligence
AeroSky's predictive models trained on collective ADS-B data deliver better accuracy for every participant. More receivers mean sharper flight tracking and delay prediction for all.
Privacy Preserved
No participant can reverse-engineer another's data from shared outputs. Differential privacy techniques ensure individual contributions remain confidential.
