- Searches stay with you Your recent searches are saved in your own browser.
When you search a flight
Your browser sends the flight number to our server, which looks it up and answers. Like any web server, it sees your IP address with each request. We use it only to keep the service fair:
- to limit how many searches one address can make in a minute;
- to limit how many paid schedule lookups one address can cause in a day;
- to tell which flights several people are following.
These are kept in the server's memory for at most 24 hours, and may appear in its short-lived logs. They're never stored in a database, sold or shared.
The services behind the answers
Our server, not your browser, asks the flight data services (adsb.fi, The OpenSky Network, adsb.lol, adsbdb, AeroDataBox and aviationweather.gov). They see our server's address, not yours.
The flight map loads its map tiles from OpenFreeMap directly in your browser, so OpenFreeMap receives your IP address and the part of the map you're looking at.
The services that host this site and deliver its pages also see your IP address, as part of delivering them.
On your device
Your recent searches are saved in your own browser (local storage) so you can repeat them with one tap. They never leave your device; the "Clear" button next to them deletes them.
If you email us
If you write to flighttracker02@gmail.com, we see your email address and whatever your message says, and use them only to reply. Messages stay in our inbox, which is hosted by Gmail (Google), and we'll delete them if you ask.
No ads, no tracking cookies
There are no advertisements, analytics or tracking cookies. If that ever changes, this page will be updated before it does.
Your rights
Wherever you live (including under the GDPR in Europe and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act), you can ask what we hold about you or ask us to delete it. Apart from the short-lived records above and any emails you send us, there's nothing to hold: no accounts or names. Get in touch with any question.
