Privacy policy

Short version: Launch Window has no accounts and no database. Location is optional and never stored; launch data is fetched through our edge worker where possible — see “Data we fetch for you” below. The one third party that sees anything is Google, because the site carries ads.

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no newsletters and no contact forms. We do not set our own cookies.

Measurement. The site records anonymous, cookieless page views and interaction counts (which filter you used, which link you followed) so we can see which pages are worth keeping. It is not tied to you, there is no profile, and nothing you enter is included.

Local storage

The tool keeps your choices in your browser's local storage so the page remembers them on your next visit. That data never leaves your device, and clearing your browser's site data removes it.

Location

If you use the "near me" feature, your browser asks your permission and hands us approximate coordinates. They are used to work out what is visible from where you are and are not stored on our servers or shared with anyone. Declining the prompt leaves the rest of the site fully usable.

Data we fetch for you

Live figures come from The Space Devs launch library. Normally your browser asks our edge worker and the worker asks the upstream source, so the upstream sees our address rather than yours. That is not a guarantee: the upstream limits free traffic per address, and when our worker is rate-limited or unreachable the page falls back to asking The Space Devs directly from your browser. On that fallback they do see your IP address, as any site you visit does. We are not told when it happens and we receive nothing extra either way.

Advertising

This site shows ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set or read cookies on your device, and may use the address of the page you are on, to serve and measure ads. We do not control what Google collects and we never see it.

You can review and turn off personalised advertising in Google My Ad Center, and read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Hosting and logs

The site is served by Cloudflare, which keeps short-lived operational logs (including IP addresses) to deliver traffic and block abuse. That is Cloudflare's processing, under their privacy policy; we do not query those logs to build any profile.

Your rights, and children

Because we hold nothing that identifies you, there is no personal record here for us to show you, correct, or delete. For anything Google holds about your advertising profile, use the Google links above. This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect anything from them.
