Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 3, 2026
Cyberstrux LLC ("Cyberstrux", "we", "us") operates cyberstrux.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect when you use the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect automatically
Like most websites, our server records basic technical details about each visit. For the home page and the tools on this Site we log:
- Your IP address and the approximate location, internet service provider, and network (ASN) associated with it, derived from a local geolocation database. No third party receives your IP for this lookup.
- Your browser type and version, operating system, device class, preferred language, and screen size.
- The page you visited, the page that referred you (if any), and the date and time.
- For the QR code generator: which buttons you used (view, download, copy) and the settings you chose (size, colours, style). The text or link you encode is never sent to our server and is never stored.
- For the flight tracker: the map area you are viewing and any aircraft identifier you search for, so that we can fetch that data from the upstream sources.
- For the weather tool: the ZIP code you enter, so that we can look up its location and forecast.
We use this information to understand how the Site is used, to keep it running reliably, and to detect and block abuse.
2. Information you give us
If you use the contact form we collect the name, email address, phone number (optional), and message you provide, together with the technical details listed above. This is emailed to us so that we can reply. We do not add you to any mailing list.
If you have an account on the Site (staff only), we store your name, email address, a hashed password, and sign-in history.
3. Cookies
The Site sets one session cookie that keeps track of your visit while you are here. It contains no personal information and expires when you close your browser. Third-party services listed below may set their own cookies under their own policies.
4. Third-party services
- Google reCAPTCHA protects the contact form from spam. It may collect hardware and software information and send it to Google for analysis. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
- Google AdSense may display advertising on the Site. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.
- OpenStreetMap supplies the map tiles for the flight tracker. Your browser requests those tiles directly from OpenStreetMap servers, which will see your IP address. See the OSMF Privacy Policy.
- airplanes.live and adsb.lol supply aircraft position data for the flight tracker. Our server requests this data on your behalf; your IP address is not sent to them.
- Zippopotam.us and Open-Meteo supply ZIP code locations and weather data for the weather tool. Our server requests this data on your behalf; your IP address is not sent to them.
- Cloudflare / CDN hosts some script and stylesheet files (for example the map library). Your browser will request those files directly from the CDN.
5. How long we keep information
Visit logs are kept for as long as they are useful for statistics and security, typically no more than 24 months, after which they may be deleted or aggregated. Contact form messages are kept in our email for as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
6. How we protect information
The Site is served over HTTPS. Logs and account data are stored on a server we control, with access limited to Cyberstrux staff. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes.
7. Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We may disclose it if required by law, to protect our rights, or to investigate abuse of the Site.
8. Your choices and rights
You can use the Site without submitting any personal information. You can block cookies in your browser, though the contact form may not work without the session cookie. Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to its use. To make such a request, contact us.
9. Children
The Site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
11. Contact
Questions about this policy can be sent through our contact form or by email to webmaster@cyberstrux.com.
