Privacy policy
Last updated: 15 November 2026
In short: no account and nothing used for advertising. Your routes and settings stay in your browser. We use Google Analytics to see how the map is used (in Europe only if you accept), and our server receives anonymous usage counts, plus a route and map view when you create a short share link.
1. Who is responsible
IsraelVFR (israelvfr.com) is run by SnackSafe Inc., a Delaware corporation that also makes the ZuluCheck app. You can reach us at support@zulucheck.com.
2. No account; Google Analytics
You do not need an account to use IsraelVFR. We use Google Analytics 4 to learn how the map is used: pages viewed, actions such as building a route or opening a chart, device type, approximate location (country or city) and how you reached the site. Google Analytics sets its own cookies for this. Google signals and advertising features are off, nothing is used for advertising, and data is kept for 14 months. Google processes it under its data processing terms.
If your device is set to a time zone in the EU/EEA, the UK or Switzerland, analytics cookies stay off until you choose Accept in the banner; until then Google Analytics receives only cookieless signals. A browser that sends Global Privacy Control is treated as Decline. To change your choice, clear the site data in your browser and the banner returns. There are no advertising trackers on israelvfr.com.
3. What stays on your device
The site keeps the following in your browser’s local storage (localStorage), on your device only:
- your current route and your saved routes;
- layer and display settings;
- the GPS track of a flight, if you turn on GPS;
- the fact that you accepted the disclaimer.
This data is not sent to us. You can delete it at any time by clearing the site data for israelvfr.com in your browser settings.
4. GPS location
The site reads your location only after you turn on GPS. Your location stays in your browser and is never sent to us.
5. Anonymous usage counts
To learn how the site is used and what to improve, the page sends small events to our own server (zulucheck.com, hosted on AWS). They cover:
- page visits and time spent on the page;
- which features were used;
- aerodrome-to-aerodrome pairs that were planned;
- which aerodrome charts were opened;
- device type;
- the domain of the site that sent you here (the referrer domain).
To count visitors without identifying them, we use a daily hash of your IP address and browser, mixed with a secret value (a salt) that changes every day. When the day is summarised, the salt and the hashes are deleted, so visits cannot be linked from one day to the next. We do not store IP addresses with these counts.
6. Short share links
When you create a short link, we store the map view and the route on our server so that the link works. Anyone who has the link can open it, so share it only with people you want to see that route.
7. Other services your browser contacts
Some parts of the page load from other companies. Your browser connects to them directly, which means they receive your IP address and normal browser information:
- Google Fonts, for the fonts;
- cdnjs, for some scripts;
- Google Map Tiles, Esri or EOX, only when you turn on satellite imagery.
Each of these services has its own privacy policy.
8. Server logs
Like most websites, our hosting (AWS CloudFront and Lambda) keeps technical logs. These may hold IP addresses for a short time, and we use them only for security and to keep the service running.
9. Children
IsraelVFR is not directed to children under 16.
10. Your rights and choices
You can clear everything the site stores on your device by clearing the site data in your browser. For any privacy question or request, including questions about a short link you created, write to support@zulucheck.com.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows the latest version.
