Privacy policy.

Celebplanes is a celebrity jet tracker built on public ADS-B broadcasts. You don’t need an account to browse the site. We don’t sell visitor data, and we don’t run our own tracking analytics. Cookies set by your visit fall into two groups. We control a small set: your theme preference, an optional newsletter session and an optional admin session. Google AdSense sets the rest to serve and measure ads.

We store a theme preference(light or dark) in your browser’s localStorage. That stops the site flashing the wrong colour when a page loads. It never leaves your device.

If you subscribe to the newsletter at /subscribe, we keep your email address. We use it only to send you the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in any email.

Our servers log standard HTTP request data (IP address, user agent, path and timestamp) for security and rate-limiting. We keep these logs for a short time before they rotate out. They are never joined to any advertising identifier.

We use Google AdSenseto show ads on the site. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads. Those ads are based on a user’s prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.

To opt out of personalised advertising by Google, visit Google Ads Settings. To opt out of personalised advertising by other third-party vendors, go to aboutads.info/choices.

Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services here: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google’s consent management platform will show a banner on your first visit. It asks how you want ads to be served: personalised or non-personalised. Your choice is stored as a cookie. You can change it at any time using the same banner.

The live map at /map loads map tiles from OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap. Those providers see standard HTTP request metadata for the tiles your browser asks for. We don’t pass them anything beyond what your browser already sends. Fonts come from Google Fonts. That request is anonymous, and the font files are cached for a long time.

We don’t run our own tracking analytics, so there’s no Google Analytics or Mixpanel here. We don’t fingerprint visitors. We don’t share or sell any data we collect. The celebrity flight data on the site comes entirely from public ADS-B broadcasts and public registries. See /methodology for sources.

Email info@celebplanes.com for any privacy request. You can ask what data we hold about you, ask us to correct it or delete it, or opt out of any of the processing described above. We reply within seven days.

If we materially change how we handle visitor data, we’ll update this page and change the date at the top. There is no mailing list for policy changes, so bookmark this page if you want to check back.
