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
