Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 24, 2024

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Summary

  • We don't collect or store your geographic data
  • All coordinate conversions happen in your browser
  • We use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics
  • We don't sell your data to anyone

Data Processing

Client-Side Processing

The core functionality of Coordinates Online runs entirely in your browser:

  • Coordinate conversions between reference systems
  • GeoJSON parsing, transformation, and visualization
  • TLE parsing and satellite position calculations
  • Reference frame conversions

This data never leaves your device. We cannot see, access, or store the coordinates or geographic data you work with.

Server-Side Data

We do maintain a database of satellite orbital elements (TLEs/OMMs). This is publicly available data from sources like Space-Track.org and is not associated with individual users.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how our tools are used. This helps us improve the service. Any analytics we use:

  • Do not track you across websites
  • Do not use cookies for tracking
  • Do not collect personally identifiable information
  • Do not sell data to third parties

Cookies

We use minimal cookies only for essential functionality:

  • Preferences: Storing your UI preferences (theme, units)
  • Session: Maintaining state for interactive features

We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Third-Party Services

Our site may include third-party content:

  • OpenStreetMap tiles: Map imagery loaded from OSM servers
  • EPSG.io: Custom coordinate system definitions
  • CDN assets: JavaScript libraries and images

These services have their own privacy policies. We select services that respect user privacy.

Data Retention

Since we don't collect your geographic data, there's nothing to retain or delete. Any data you enter into our tools exists only in your browser's memory and is cleared when you close the page.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

  • Right to access your personal data
  • Right to delete your personal data
  • Right to opt out of analytics

Since we don't collect personal data, these rights are automatically respected.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a notice on our site.
