I’m curious what people’s opinions are on allowing your flight data to be uploaded to Parrot. When I got my Anafi in February I registered it on Parrot’s website and agreed to allow them to host my flight data. I was quite surprised that it was optional but I figured there might be more pros than cons of doing this.
So, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on this, and in particular…

- Have you found any advantages of having Parrot receive your flight data? I see that in ‘My Account settings’ where I have said Yes to receiving newsletters and Yes to managing my flight data, it says “By agreeing to sync your flight data with My.Parrot (technical data, geolocation), you will enjoy many exclusive benefits, tips and tricks about your product, additional functions and personalised support”. But I haven’t ever received a single email about anything from Parrot
- I’ve read in several threads about the sad demise of a few people’s Anafis dropping out of the sky and Parrot’s inconsistent response to requests for replacements. Does anyone think they might use your flight data (from flights prior to the disaster obviously) to decide whether you fly sensibly or have had many crashes? Do you think that if you refuse to share your flight data, then you are more likely to get an immediate NO to any request for help after an accident?
- Do you think it likely that if you (inadvertently or otherwise) flew your drone somewhere that you shouldn’t, then having your flight data stored could be used by Parrot to deny any warranty claim… does anyone have any experience regarding this?
