IceFireAir Virtual Flying Club (“we,” “our,” or “us”, or “VFC”) is a non-commercial, hobby-based project dedicated solely to providing information about community events and news.
1. Information We Collect
For security reasons, the webserver logs requests of the website resources and information about the visitor, including browser software and IP addresses of visitors, which are temporarily stored by our web server. This is done solely to protect against unauthorized access or misuse of our website and is not used for tracking or analysis purposes.
Additionally, if you use our comment forms, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, optionally the website address, and message content. This data is solely used to process and display your comment on the website. We do not use this information for marketing purposes, nor do we share it with third parties.
We also use WP Statistics to gather anonymized statistical data about website visits. This data helps us understand general usage patterns, such as the number of visitors and frequently accessed pages, without tracking individual users. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected, stored, or shared through this process.
2. Cookies & Local Storage
We are using minimal means of browser storage which are necessary to enable some of the features of the website, like consent options for external platforms.
3. Comments
If you use our comments feature, the information you provide (such as your name, email address, website address and message content) is stored in the website database and used solely for display on the website. This data is not used for marketing or analytics purposes. By submitting a comment form, you consent to the processing of your provided information as described. If you wish to have your submitted data deleted, you can request its removal by contacting us.
4. Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, or distribute your information to third parties. The only external services used on our website are OpenStreetMap (OpenTopoMap) to display maps within the virtual airline environment, which operates independently of our site’s data, as well as YouTube embeddings. For both of these external services to be displayed on the website the user has to give prior consent.
5. External Platforms
To organise, present and communicate we are also using third party platforms like Discord, Twitch and YouTube. These platforms are each gathering information about their users in different ways and have their own privacy policies and terms of services. So if you’re unsure whether it’s safe for you to use these external platforms, please consider to read their policies first. Again, we do not share information about users of this website with external platforms. And the use of embeds of external platforms on this website needs prior consent of the users via a “consent banner”.
