Privacy Policy
Last update: March 2026. This policy explains how we handle your data with transparency and respect.
Identity
Data Controller
Flightsimradar is operated by a small independent team based in the Netherlands. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being clear about the data we collect to keep the radar running.
Usage
Data Acquisition
Flight Data
We process public data from the VATSIM network to show aircraft positions and flight info. This data is transient and used only to facilitate the radar service.
Payment Info
Payments are handled by Stripe. We do not see or store your credit card details; we only receive a confirmation that your FSR Premium is active.
Security Logs
Our servers log technical data like IP addresses for 30 days. This is a standard security measure to prevent abuse and keep the platform stable.
Account Data
If you create an account, we only store the minimum info needed (like email) to manage your FSR Premium status and preferences. We use local browser storage purely to remember your radar settings (like active filters), not for ad tracking.
Transfers
Third-Party Partners
To provide a fast and secure radar, we use trusted partners. Some data may be processed outside the EEA with high security standards:
- MapboxMap Visualization
- Cesium3D Map Data
- VATSIMNetwork Data Feed
- IVAONetwork Data Feed
- StripePayment Provider
Your Rights

Request a copy of the data we have linked to you.
Request to delete your account or technical logs.
Oppose data processing for specific situations.
