ADSB.im

Data handling and privacy.

This Privacy Notice is to inform EU and U.K. citizens who use ADSB.im how their personal information is used.

The only information this site receives from you before you configure your system are the local IP address of the network your ADS-B Feeder is connected to, and the public IP address of the system from which you access this server. These two addresses are associated with each other in order to enable the forwarding service to your board during installation. The data is automatically deleted after 60 seconds.

Once the adsb.im feeder image is up and running, it will connect to the adsb.im server when displaying the feeder homepage. It sends the current version of the adsb.im feeder image, the board name, and a random identifier to the backend server in order to enable the update notifications and very coarse statistics. Again, the server retains no user or system identifiable data based on this information, no actual logs of the access, neither the IP address used, nor any other user / system specific data. Instead, it simply hashes the data in order to provide the developers a rough idea of the number of users per board / platform / version.

Since the update feature is one of the core values of the feeder image, the user cannot opt out of this data being sent (other than simply not using the image.

The site is run on a server located in the US, managed by an individual located in the US. Contact for questions about data handling and privacy is dirk@dh-consulting.io.

With the GDPR compliance out of the way, here is the summary that applies to everyone (since we don't actually track where you are from): It’s simple. We do not use your data. We do not care who your friends are. We do not intend to market to you or to do anything else that’s annoying. There is no monetization and no other use or processing of your data - we only store it very briefly with the purpose of simplifying the setup of your device. All user specific data outside the above mentioned anonymous statistics is deleted after at most 60 seconds.

Obviously, your ADS-B Feeder image will connect to other cloud services, including but not limited to any aggregator that you enable, the Debian APT repositories for the underlying OS, Github.com, and container registries. These services are unrelated to adsb.im and they are provided under their own license or use terms, privacy policies, and data use policies.
