Privacy Policy

CavokSky does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information to use our services. You can freely access all features of the platform, including aviation weather data (METAR, TAF), NOTAMs, SIGMETs, GAMETs, airport information, and live flight tracking, without registering or identifying yourself.

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information. Since there is no registration or login process, there is no personal data stored in our database associated with individual users.

When you visit CavokSky, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure. This is standard for any website and may include:

• IP Address: Your IP address may be temporarily logged by our hosting provider for security, performance monitoring, and abuse prevention purposes.
• Browser and Device Information: Basic details such as your browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and device type may be collected to help us optimize the user experience.
• Page Visit Data: We may collect anonymous, aggregated information about which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and general usage patterns. This data is not linked to any individual user.
• Referral Source: Information about how you arrived at CavokSky (direct visit, search engine, external link) may be logged for analytical purposes.

This information is used solely to maintain the security and performance of our platform and to understand general usage trends. We do not use this data to identify, track, or profile individual visitors.

CavokSky aims to minimize the use of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or any third-party marketing cookies. Here is a clear summary of how cookies and local storage may be used on our platform:

• Essential Cookies: Our hosting provider may set minimal cookies necessary for the proper functioning and security of the website. These are strictly technical and do not track your behavior across other websites.
• Local Storage: CavokSky may use your browser's local storage to save user preferences (such as theme settings or preferred airports) to improve your experience. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will not prevent you from using CavokSky.

We may use privacy-friendly analytics tools to understand how our platform is used. Any analytics we employ are configured to:

• Collect only anonymous, aggregated data
• Not use cookies for tracking purposes
• Not share data with third-party advertisers
• Not build profiles on individual visitors

Our hosting provider (Vercel) may also collect performance and usage metrics as part of their standard infrastructure monitoring. This data helps us ensure the platform remains fast and reliable. Vercel's privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy.

CavokSky integrates data from several third-party sources to provide aviation information. These include, but are not limited to:

• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): For NOTAMs and aviation weather data.
• OurAirports: For airport information, frequencies, runways, and navaids.
• ADS-B Data Feeds: For live flight tracking information.
• Google Maps: For map rendering and geolocation features.

When you interact with these features, some data requests may be sent to these third-party services. Each of these services operates under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them if you have specific concerns.

CavokSky may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. Once you leave our platform by clicking an external link, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.

CavokSky is designed as an informational and educational platform. Since we do not collect personal information from any user, we do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will take the appropriate steps to address the concern.

We take reasonable measures to protect the security of our platform, including:

• Serving all content over HTTPS (encrypted connections)
• Hosting on Vercel, which provides enterprise-grade infrastructure security, DDoS protection, and automatic SSL certificates
• Not storing any personal user data, which eliminates the risk of personal data breaches
• Regularly reviewing and updating our code and dependencies for known vulnerabilities

While no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your experience on our platform.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights under data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because CavokSky does not collect personal data, many of these rights are inherently satisfied:

• Right to Access: Since we do not collect personal data, there is no personal information to provide upon request.
• Right to Deletion: We do not store personal data, so there is nothing to delete.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be treated differently for exercising your privacy rights.

If you have any questions about your rights or wish to exercise them, please reach out to us through our Contact page.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Your continued use of CavokSky after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions about this Privacy Policy, or if you would like to know more about how CavokSky handles data, please do not hesitate to reach out to us through our Contact page. We welcome your feedback and are always happy to hear from our visitors.
