AeroGaze Privacy Policy

Effective date: 3 August 2026 · v1.2

1. Who We Are

AeroGaze ("we", "us", "our") operates the AeroGaze aircraft tracking service available at aerogaze.com. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

AeroGaze is operated by High Peak Pro Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 11682424). Registered office: Bartle House, 9 Oxford Court, Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, M2 3WQ.

The data controller for your personal data is High Peak Pro Ltd (details above). For data protection enquiries, contact us at privacy@aerogaze.com.

2. Data We Collect

AeroGaze does not require an account, and we do not collect names, email addresses, or payment details. We process:

• Location data: your device's GPS coordinates, used only in-session to identify nearby aircraft. We do not store your location history.
• Usage data: standard server logs (IP address, request timestamps) for security and debugging.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:

• Location data — Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)): processing is necessary to provide the core service you requested, i.e. identifying aircraft near your location.
• Server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamps) — Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)): necessary for security monitoring, abuse prevention, and debugging.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

• Provide and improve the AeroGaze service
• Comply with legal obligations

5. Third-Party Services

AeroGaze uses the following third-party processors:

• adsb.lol — real-time ADS-B aircraft data
• adsbdb.com — flight route and airline data

Each processor operates under their own privacy policy and data processing agreements.

6. Location Data

Your device location is requested only when you open the tracker and is used solely to query nearby aircraft. Location data is transmitted to our API server for each query and is not stored in our database or logs.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers may process your data outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA).

8. Data Retention

We do not maintain user accounts, so we retain no personal profile data. Server logs are kept only for a short period for security and debugging. Location data is never stored.

9. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection law (including UK GDPR), you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing
• Data portability

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@aerogaze.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK's supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). You can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk or by phone on 0303 123 1113.

10. Cookies

AeroGaze does not currently display interest-based or personalised advertising, and does not set any first-party cookies. User preferences (such as language selection) are stored in your browser's local storage and are never transmitted to our servers.

11. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption and limited data retention. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

12. Children

AeroGaze is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

In certain European Economic Area countries, the age of digital consent may be higher (up to 16). If you are located in such a country and are under the applicable age of digital consent, please do not use the Service without parental or guardian consent.
