1. Who we are
Sky1 is a brand of Aerial Kinetics Private Limited, an Indian company headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. In this policy "we", "us", and "our" refer to Aerial Kinetics. We act as the data fiduciary for personal data collected through sky1.ai.
For privacy questions, write to sales@sky1.ai.
2. Data we collect
We only collect the data we need to do what you've asked of us.
- Contact / enquiry form — when you submit the form at
/contact, we collect the fields you provide (name, official email, phone or WhatsApp number, company / production house, the product you're interested in, and your message). For SkyBlitz drone-show enquiries this also includes event date, city / venue, and a budget tier. We additionally record your IP address and submission timestamp on the server for fraud and abuse prevention. - Server logs — our nginx and API services log request paths, status codes, and IP addresses. Logs are retained for up to 60 days for security and capacity-planning purposes.
- First-party analytics — we operate our own visit-tracking on sky1.ai. Each page view records the path you visited, the time of the visit, your two-letter country code (derived server-side from your IP at the moment of the request), a device / browser classification (e.g. mobile, desktop, or automated client, plus the browser family), your screen resolution, your browser language, the referring URL, and a salted one-way hash derived from your IP address and browser identifier. The hash lets us estimate unique visitors within a single day without storing your IP or browser identifier; because the date is part of the hash input, it cannot be linked across days. Your IP address itself is processed in memory and then discarded — it is not stored in our analytics records. No cookies, no cross-site tracking. The
/adminarea is excluded. - Email list — if you subscribe to our newsletter or request a datasheet or pricing guide, we store your email address, which list or document you asked for, the submission time, and your IP address (for fraud and abuse prevention). We use it only to send you what you asked for. Unsubscribe anytime by emailing sales@sky1.ai.
- Cookies — sky1.ai sets one functional cookie,
sky1_session, only on the authenticated/adminarea used by Sky1 staff. We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. - Error monitoring — we use Sentry to capture client and server errors. Replays on the public site mask all text and block media; the entire
/adminarea is excluded from session replay.
3. How we use it
- To respond to your enquiry — typically within 24 hours during business days.
- To follow up on drone-show, FleetOS, or Axion opportunities you've raised.
- To send you the newsletter, datasheet, or pricing guide you requested.
- To investigate security incidents, abuse, or operational issues.
- To improve site reliability, performance, and content.
We do not use your data for advertising profiling, and we do not train AI models on personal data submitted to us.
4. Sharing
We don't sell your data. We share it only with the infrastructure providers that host or process it on our behalf:
- DigitalOcean — hosts the sky1.ai web and API servers.
- Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) — error and performance monitoring.
- Cloudflare / Let's Encrypt — TLS certificates and DDoS protection (where applicable).
We disclose data to law-enforcement only where legally compelled.
5. Data retention
Contact-form submissions are retained for up to 24 months from the date of submission, after which they are deleted unless an active engagement requires longer retention (in which case retention is governed by our agreement with you). Server logs are retained for up to 60 days. Raw first-party analytics events are retained for up to 90 days; anonymised daily aggregates (no personal data) are retained indefinitely. Email-list records are retained until you unsubscribe, after which they are deleted within 30 days.
6. Your rights
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act") and, where applicable, the EU GDPR, you have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct or update inaccurate data.
- Ask us to delete data we no longer need to retain.
- Withdraw consent for any processing that depends on it.
- Lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India (or your local supervisory authority).
To exercise any of these rights, email sales@sky1.ai. We respond within 30 days.
7. Security
All traffic to and from sky1.ai is encrypted with TLS 1.2+. Data at rest is stored on access-controlled servers with no public network interface other than the API itself. Admin authentication uses HTTP-only, SameSite=Strict, Secure cookies with short expiry; passwords are hashed with bcrypt. We rate-limit public form submissions to prevent abuse.
8. Children
sky1.ai is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted data, contact us and we'll delete it.
9. International transfers
Some of our infrastructure providers are based outside India. Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on contractual safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) and on the providers' published security commitments.
10. Changes
We may update this policy as the site evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be flagged on the site for at least 14 days.
