Consent can be revoked at any time.

General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

METARMAP UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
represented by its managing director Torben Ukena
Coppistraße 49
04157 Leipzig
Email: hi@metarmap.eu

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your terminal device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is also based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in this privacy policy.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

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 controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, Deletion, and Correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – apart from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files and do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.

Cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you about this separately within the framework of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

Flight Radar and Location Data

Our "flight radar" (/tools/radar) shows air traffic around a place. You choose the place yourself: either you pick an airfield from our list, or you click "Use my location". Only in the second case does your browser ask whether it may share your location with our website. Without your permission we receive no location data.

If you share your location, your browser sends the coordinates to our server. There they are rounded to about 100 metres and used exclusively to select the aircraft within the chosen radius. We do not store the coordinates, do not link them with other data and do not put them in the address bar, so a shared link does not contain your location either. While the page is open, your browser requests fresh data about every five seconds.

We obtain the flight data from the open receiver network adsb.lol (servers in Germany), which the radar names as its source. Our server requests aircraft there for a large area of up to 250 nautical miles, centred on a coarse grid or on the middle of Germany. Neither your location nor your IP address is transmitted to adsb.lol.

The legal basis for processing your location is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG), which you give by clicking and granting permission in your browser. You can revoke it at any time in your browser settings, or use the radar with an airfield instead.

Cloudflare

We use the Content Delivery Network (CDN) of Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, c/o Mindspace, 80331 München Deutschland (Cloudflare), to increase the security and delivery speed of our website. This corresponds to our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). A CDN is a network of servers worldwide that is capable of delivering optimized content to website users. For this purpose, personal data can be processed in server logs by Cloudflare.

Cloudflare is a recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor on our behalf. This corresponds to our legitimate interest in Art. 6(1) S. 1 lit. f GDPR, i.e., not operating a Content Delivery Network itself.

Through Cloudflare, content can be loaded faster and attacks can be prevented more easily. Bots and automated queries can also be detected without CAPTCHA.

You have the right to object to the processing. Whether the objection is successful is to be determined in the context of an interest balancing.

The processing of the data specified under this section is neither statutory nor contractual. The functionality of the website cannot be guaranteed without processing.

Your personal data are stored by Cloudflare as long as it is required for the purposes described.

Further information on objections and elimination options against Cloudflare can be found under: Cloudflare DPA

Cloudflare has implemented compliance measures for international data transfers. These apply to all worldwide activities in which Cloudflare processes personal data of natural persons in the EU. These measures are based on the EU standard contractual clauses (SCCs). Further information can be found under: https://www.cloudflare.com/cloudflare_customer_SCCs-German.pdf

OpenStreetMap Maps

On the home page and under "METARs for Germany" (/tools/metar) we show maps based on OpenStreetMap. The map is drawn by the open-source library Leaflet, which we serve ourselves. The map tiles, however, are loaded by your browser directly from the tile server tile.openstreetmap.de, operated by FOSSGIS e.V., Bundesallee 23, 10717 Berlin, Germany.

In doing so, your browser necessarily transmits your IP address to the tile server, along with the usual details of any server request: browser type and version, operating system, the address of the referring page (referrer), and the date and time. The tile server does not set cookies. Your browser draws the airfields and their weather onto the map itself; this information is not sent to FOSSGIS. For what data FOSSGIS stores and for how long, please refer to its privacy policy: https://www.fossgis.de/datenschutzerklärung

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in presenting the airfields clearly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The list under "METARs for Germany" contains the same airfields and weather data and can be used without the map.

Google Tag Manager

We use the service called Google Tag Manager from Google. "Google" is a group of companies and consists of Google Ireland Ltd. (provider of the service), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as well as Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, and other affiliated companies of Google LLC.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google. The Google Tag Manager is a support service and processes personal data only for technically necessary purposes. The Google Tag Manager ensures the loading of other components, which in turn may collect data. The Google Tag Manager does not access these data. Further information on the Google Tag Manager can be found in the privacy policy of Google.

Please note that American authorities, such as intelligence services, may potentially gain access to personal data that are unavoidably exchanged with Google when this service is integrated, due to the Internet Protocol (TCP).

reCAPTCHA

To protect input forms on our website, we use the service "reCAPTCHA" of the company Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereafter "Google". Through the use of this service, it can be distinguished whether an input form is human or machine-driven.

The legal basis for the use of Google DoubleClick is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1). S. 1 lit. a DS-GVO, provided that you have given us this consent when you first accessed the page.

Since no adequacy decision of the European Commission exists for the transmission of personal data to the USA, we have concluded standard data protection clauses in the sense of Art. 46(2)(c) DSGVO with Google.

The functionality is implemented by transmitting your referrer URL, IP address, the behavior of website visitors, information about the operating system, browser, and session duration, cookies, presentation instructions, scripts, information about the user's input behavior, and mouse movements in the area of the "reCAPTCHA" checkbox to "Google".

Google uses the information obtained in this way, among other things, for digitalization and optimization of its own various services.

The IP address transmitted in the context of "reCAPTCHA" is not merged with other data from Google unless you are logged into your Google account at the time of using the "reCAPTCHA" plugin / i.e., at the time of visiting our website. If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data by "Google" about you and your behavior on our website, you must log out of "Google" before accessing our page.

The terms of use of the service "reCAPTCHA" can be found here: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Ajax-GoogleApis

On our internet pages, we use the Javascript library jQuery of the company Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, 94043 Mountain View (hereinafter "Google").

To increase the loading speed of our website and to enable you a better user experience, we use the CDN (content delivery network) of Google to load this library. The probability is very high that you have already used jQuery from the Google CDN on another page. In this case, your browser can fall back to the cached copy and it does not have to be downloaded again.

If your browser does not have a copy in the cache or for other reasons the file from the Google CDN cannot be downloaded, then again data from your browser are transmitted to Google Inc. (“Google”).

The legal basis for the use of Ajax-GoogleApis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1). S. 1 lit. a DS-GVO, provided that you have given us this consent when you first accessed the page.

Further information on the data processing by Google can be found in the privacy policy of Google, currently available under: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google-Apis by deactivating script execution in your browser or by installing a script blocker in your browser (you can find it, for example, under www.noscript.net or www.ghostery.com).

Facebook Custom Audiences

We use Facebook Custom Audiences on our website, a server-side event tracking tool. The service provider is the American company Meta Platforms Inc. For the European market, the company Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) is responsible.

Facebook processes data from you, among other things, also in the USA. Facebook or Meta Platforms is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. More information on this can be found on https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.

Furthermore, Facebook uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. Abs. 2 and 3 DSGVO). Standard contractual clauses (Standard Contractual Clauses – SCC) are templates provided by the European Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also comply with European data protection standards even if they are transferred and stored in third countries (e.g., in the USA). Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses, Facebook is committed to complying with the European data protection level when processing your relevant data, even if the data are stored, processed, and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on a Commission Implementing Decision. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de

The Facebook data processing conditions, which refer to the standard contractual clauses, can be found under https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/dataprocessing

More information about the data processed by the use of Facebook Custom Audiences can be found in the Privacy Policy on https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimize our website and advertising measures.

Google Analytics is provided to us by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes the data for website usage in our order and is contractually obliged to take measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the processed data.

During your website visit, the following data are recorded:

Accessed pages
Orders including the turnover and the ordered products
The achievement of "website goals" (e.g., contact inquiries and newsletter registrations)
Your behavior on the pages (e.g., session duration, clicks, scroll behavior)
Your approximate location (country and city)
Your IP address (in shortened form, so that no unique identification is possible)
Technical information such as browser, internet provider, device, and screen resolution
Source of your visit (i.e., via which website or via which advertising medium you came to us)

Personal data such as name, address, or contact details are never transmitted to Google Analytics.

These data are transmitted to servers in the USA. We point out that in the USA, data protection law does not guarantee the same level of protection as within the EU.

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID, with which you can be recognized on future website visits.

The recorded data are stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. These user-related data are automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remain in aggregated form indefinitely.

If you do not agree to the collection, you can prevent this by installing the browser add-on for deactivation of Google Analytics once or by rejecting the cookies via our cookie settings dialog.

Google Ads and Google Merchant Center

We advertise through Google Ads and present our products through the Google Merchant Center. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). On our website we use the Google tag (gtag.js) with the IDs of our Google Ads account and our Merchant Center account for this purpose.

The Google tag is only loaded once you agree to the "Marketing Cookies" category in our cookie banner. Before that, no data is transmitted to Google and no Google cookies are set. We use Google's consent mode, which passes your choice on to the Google tag.

Conversion tracking. If you reach our website via a Google ad or a Google product listing, the link contains a click identifier (e.g. "gclid"). The Google tag stores this identifier in a cookie on our domain metarmap.eu, so that our checkout at checkout.metarmap.eu (operated by Shopify, see above) can read it as well. If you complete an order there, Shopify's "Google & YouTube" app reports the order, including its value and the products ordered, to Google. This tells us how many orders result from our ads. We do not learn your identity in the process.

Enhanced conversions. When you place an order, the customer data entered at checkout (email address, name, phone number and address) is additionally transmitted to Google in hashed, i.e. irreversibly encoded, form. Google matches these hash values against signed-in Google accounts so that an order can be attributed to an ad even where no cookie is present. Google only provides us with aggregated reports.

Remarketing and Merchant Center. The Google tag also records which pages and products you view on our website. Google uses this data to show you relevant ads for our products on other websites and to provide us with reports on how our product listings perform in the Merchant Center.

The data processed includes in particular: the ad's click identifier, the pages viewed, online identifiers from cookies, your IP address, information about your browser and device, and the date and time of your visit. On our domain the Google tag sets the cookies "_gcl_au" and "_gcl_aw" (each stored for 90 days); Google itself may set further cookies on its own domains (e.g. doubleclick.net).

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG). You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future by deselecting Marketing Cookies under "Cookie Preferences" in the footer. We then delete the cookies named above from our domain and pass the withdrawal on to the Google tag.

Google also processes data in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, on the basis of which the EU Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection (Art. 45 GDPR). In addition, Google uses standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR).

You can find further information in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and at https://business.safety.google/privacy/. You can also restrict personalised advertising from Google at https://adssettings.google.com.

Meta Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel on our website. For this, we have implemented a code on our website. The Facebook Pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code that loads a collection of functions, with which Facebook can track your user actions, if you have come to our website via Facebook Ads. If, for example, you purchase a product on our website, the Facebook Pixel is triggered and stores your actions on our website in one or more cookies. These cookies enable Facebook to match your user data (customer data such as IP address, user ID) with your Facebook account data. Then Facebook deletes these data again. The data collected are anonymous for us and not accessible and are only usable for advertising purposes within the framework of advertising measures. If you are a Facebook user and logged in, the visit to our website is automatically linked to your Facebook user account.

We want to show our services/products only to those people who are also genuinely interested in them. With the help of Facebook Pixel, our advertising measures can be better tailored to your wishes and interests. So Facebook users (if they have allowed personalized advertising) see appropriate advertising. Furthermore, Facebook uses the collected data for analysis purposes and its own advertising measures.

In the following, we show you those cookies that were set when the Facebook Pixel was integrated on a test page. Please note that these are only example cookies. Depending on the interaction on our website, different cookies are set.

Note: The above cookies relate to an individual user's behavior. Specifically with regard to the use of cookies, changes at Facebook can never be excluded.

If you are logged in to Facebook, you can change your advertising settings under https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/advertisers/ yourself. If you are not a Facebook user, you can generally manage your usage-based online advertising on https://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/ and thereby deactivate providers. There you have the option to deactivate providers or to activate them.

Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS, or macOS-operated device by charging a payment card registered with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security functions that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. For this reason, the input of a previously specified code as well as the verification via the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" – function of your device is required.

The information you provided during the order process is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form together with the information about your order. Apple encrypts these data again with a developer-specific key before the data are transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card registered with "Apple Pay" for the purpose of payment. The encryption ensures that only the website from which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number as well as a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website for confirmation of the payment result.

If personal data are processed in the context of these transmissions, processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple maintains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, as well as the indication of whether the transaction was successful. By anonymization, a person reference is completely excluded. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase that you made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel to the Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of these information in a format that can identify your person. You can disable the possibility of using Apple Pay on your Mac in the settings of your iPhone. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay", and deactivate "Allow payments on Mac".

Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following Internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

Google Pay

If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), the payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application of your mobile device with at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) operated and equipped with an NFC function by charging a payment card registered with Google Pay or a verified payment system (e.g., PayPal). For the release of a payment in an amount of more than 25,- €, the prior unlocking of your mobile device by the respective set verification measures (e.g., face recognition, password, fingerprint, pattern) is required.

The information you provided during the order process is transmitted to Google together with the information about your order. Google then transmits your payment information registered with Google Pay in the form of a once-issued transaction number to the originating website, with which a successful payment can be verified. This transaction number does not contain any information about the actual payment data of your payment card registered with Google Pay, but is created as a one-time valid numerical token and transmitted. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary for the settlement of the payment process. The execution of the transaction takes place exclusively in the relationship between the user and the originating website by charging the payment card registered with Google Pay.

If personal data are processed in the context of these transmissions, processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect certain specific transaction-specific information, to store and evaluate it, for example, date, time, and transaction amount, merchant location and description, a description of the goods or services provided by the merchant, photos attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and receiver, the payment method used, your description for the reason of the transaction, as well as the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in correct invoicing, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google reserves the right to merge the processed transaction data with other information collected by Google when using other Google services.
