Your Privacy Matters to Garmin

Garmin stores information such as your name, email address, and password so you can sign in. It also helps us verify your account if you call customer support.

We ask for information about your aircraft’s make, model, and serial number, Garmin avionics products, and other details so we can give you a great organizational tool for your aircraft and to help with maintenance.

When you use Garmin Pilot to create flight plans and file them with aviation authorities, we process your name and address, aircraft details, date and time of the flight, and associated flight details so you can, in fact, file those flight plans.

When you use Garmin avionics products with the position reporting feature, we process your aircraft’s tail number, latitude, longitude, estimated time en route, and associated flight details. If you use a Garmin avionics wearable, this data is uploaded to your Garmin Connect account. We use this information to help you keep track of important flight details and so you can share your aircraft’s position with others during your flights.

When you use the pilot logbook feature on the flyGarmin website or desktop app or in the Garmin Pilot app, we process information about your flights, such as the takeoff and landing airports, dates and times, and other notes, so you have a tool to maintain your required records in your pilot logs.

When you buy products, like aviation databases, or subscriptions from a Garmin website or through the Garmin Pilot app, we ask for information such as your name, address, and phone number so we can process and fulfill your order. We have a third party process your payment information, but Garmin does not store your payment card details.

When you use Connext phone and text messaging, we process the to-and-from phone numbers and time and date for incoming and outgoing calls and text messages, as well as phone call duration and payment information for billing purposes.

We know you might want to stay off the grid, but we may collect things such as your contact, device, or subscription information during support calls to ensure that you get the help you need.

When we have something important to tell you about your products, apps, subscriptions, or account — such as vital safety information, app updates, new products or deals, and updates to our privacy policy — we use collected contact information to reach you.

When you visit our sites or use our apps, we collect information — such as your IP address, location, times that you visit, and more — to let us know how people navigate our sites and apps and how we can improve them.

We use things such as cookies, pixel tags, and similar tools to help us provide better, more relevant content on our sites.

We also use these tools to see how effective our ads are and to identify any problems that we need to fix. All in all, we just want to give you websites worth browsing.

Garmin is global, which means your personal data may be stored locally or in another country or transferred between Garmin companies. No matter where your information is within Garmin, it is still secured under this privacy policy.

We share personal data with third parties who provide services — such as fulfilling orders, processing payments, and sending emails to customers — for us.

Garmin will share your personal data when required to by law enforcement and in other legal matters.

When you use Garmin Pilot to create and file flight plans, your flight plans and associated information are submitted to the applicable aviation authorities.

Using Connext, you can invite people to track the position of your flight via a web-based provider such as FlightAware.com.
