This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible from https://atcadvisor.com
Service is the https://atcadvisor.com website operated by Grey Rock Innovations Ltd.
Personal Data means data about a living individual who can be identified from those data (or from those and other information either in our possession or likely to come into our possession).
Usage Data is data collected automatically either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).
Cookies are small files stored on your device (computer or mobile device).
Data Controller means the natural or legal person who (either alone or jointly or in common with other persons) determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal information are, or are to be, processed.
For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, we are a Data Controller of your Personal Data.
Data Processor (or Service Provider) means any natural or legal person who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller.
We may use the services of various Service Providers in order to process your data more effectively.
Data Subject is any living individual who is using our Service and is the subject of Personal Data.
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.
The Service does not require you to create an account, and you can browse all airspace and air traffic control information without providing any personal information to us.
Personal Data is collected only if you choose to submit a review of an air traffic control unit. In that case we collect:
We do not ask for your email address, and reviews do not accept file or image uploads.
Reviews, together with the display name submitted with them, are published publicly on the Service and are kept indefinitely. Please choose a display name you are content to see published permanently, and do not include anything in a review that you would not wish to be publicly visible.
Like almost every website, our web server automatically writes an entry to its access log each time a page or file is requested. These log entries are the only usage information we collect. They are produced by the server itself, not by any tracking code running in your browser.
Each entry records:
We use these logs solely to keep the Service secure, to detect and block abusive traffic, and to diagnose technical faults. We do not use them to build profiles, to measure the behaviour of individual visitors, or for any marketing purpose. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable service.
Access logs are held for 30 days and are then deleted automatically.
Cookies are small files stored on your device by a website. Other tracking technologies include beacons, tags, scripts and browser storage.
This Service sets no cookies at all. We use no analytics platform, no advertising, profiling or tracking technology, no session recording or heatmap tool, and we store nothing in your browser’s local storage.
Because nothing whatsoever is stored on your device, there is nothing for you to accept or decline, and this Service therefore displays no cookie consent banner.
Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. uses the collected information for various purposes:
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.
Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. may process your Personal Data because:
Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Server access logs are retained only for the security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting purposes described under “Usage Information” above. They are deleted on a rolling basis and are not used to analyse visitor behaviour. We may retain a specific log entry for longer where it forms part of an ongoing security investigation, or where we are legally obliged to do so.
Reviews are treated differently. A review is published content and forms part of the lasting public record of the Service, which exists so that drone operators and pilots can benefit from the experience of others. We therefore retain reviews, and the display names submitted with them, indefinitely. This is necessary for the purpose for which the information was provided, namely publication.
You may ask us to remove or anonymise a review you submitted at any time, using the contact details at the foot of this page. We will do so unless we have a compelling legitimate reason not to, and we will tell you if that is the case.
Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside United Kingdom and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to United Kingdom and process it there.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. will take all the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organisation or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.
Some of the third party providers listed under “Third Party Services Used to Deliver the Service” below are established in the United States and will receive your IP address when your browser requests files from them. Where a provider is certified under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework we rely on that framework. Otherwise we rely on an International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
If Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
Under certain circumstances, Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We do not support Do Not Track (“DNT”). Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked.
You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. Grey Rock Innovations Ltd. aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete or limit the use of your Personal Data.

You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. In the United Kingdom this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk). If you are in the European Economic Area, please contact your local data protection authority.
We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”), provide the Service on our behalf, perform Service-related services or assist us in analysing how our Service is used.
These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics or website tracking service on this Service. We do not build profiles of visitors and we do not measure the behaviour of individual users.
To display our pages and maps, your browser requests files directly from the providers listed below. When it does so, those providers necessarily receive your IP address, your browser type and the address of the page you are viewing. We do not receive visitor data back from them, and we do not control what they do with it. We rely on our legitimate interest in delivering a fast, functional and secure website.
You can prevent these requests by using browser settings or extensions that block third party content, although the maps and some page styling will not then display correctly.
Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”).
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
Material changes will be signalled by updating the version number and date at the foot of this page. We do not hold a mailing list for this Service, so we are unable to notify you directly.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
