Data processing on Flightradars.online
a) Personal data – provision and consequences of non-provision
As a natural person, you are not obliged to provide “personal” data without your consent. Flightradars.online does not collect any personal data from you, except for the contact form, which is provided for you to protect your personal interests if you request contact with us. The embedded aircraft radar from Radarbox24.com also does not automatically collect any personal data from you. Radarbox only requests personal data from you upon your request, for example, if you clearly wish to register for a membership with Radarbox24.com out of curiosity. Such a membership is based on an increase in the services offered, for a fee and on a voluntary basis. The non-provision of personal data has no impact on the services we provide to you, as we do not require it for the operation of Flightradars.online.
b) What other data is collected and stored?
Flightradars.online collects and stores information only in server log files to ensure the optimal operation of this website. The following information helps us with troubleshooting, optimizations, and the delivery of our services:
- IP address – truncated (anonymized), i.e., the server automatically truncates the last two digits of all IP addresses accessing Flightradars.online.
- Date and time of the request
- Which document/page is requested or accessed
- Which browser is used, e.g., Safari / Firefox / Chrome
- Which operating system with version number is used, e.g., Windows 10
Flightradars.online stores this data in the server log for a period of 90 days from the first access, after which the server log files are automatically deleted.
c) Who else can access this data?
The hosting provider of this site, which regularly maintains its servers. Also, backup copies for Flightradars.online could be created, which may have access to server log files or personal data under certain circumstances. The hosting provider does not pursue its own purposes in dealing with this data. The hosting provider only works “on behalf and on the instructions” of Flightradars.online. This could be the case, for example, if Flightradars.online ever needs to obtain personal data from you, e.g., via the contact form by email, and requests the hosting provider to create a backup of this website, including server log files and email mailbox.
Note on the aircraft radar on Flightradars.online
As it is an “embedded” aircraft radar, you can also inquire about and ensure your data protection with the provider at Radarbox24.com to ensure that our service in connection with Radarbox24 is compliant and secure. If there are any changes in the future that violate the preservation and legality of your data protection, we are always committed to offering solutions and listing them here. Or, we may restrict the service.
“Embedded” means that Flightradars.online implements and displays the content of another page on its own page.
Mandatory information
Revocation of your consent to data processing – Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority – In the event of breaches of data protection law, as the data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to data portability – You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion – You have the right at any time within the scope of the applicable legal provisions to receive free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct, block or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the imprint.
SSL or TLS encryption – For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties.

Contact form – Data transmitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored to process your request or to be available for follow-up questions.
