Privacy Policy

At ZeroTurb, we are committed to protecting your personal data and right to privacy.

In this section we present you the different data types that we collect from our users. If you still have questions or concerns after reading this, please contact us at contact@zeroturb.com.

Data Collection

ZeroTurb is designed to minimize data collection. We do not require user accounts, collect personal information, or track individual users. All route searches and favorites are stored locally in your browser only.

What We Store Locally

  • Route Search History: Your last 10 route searches are stored in your browser's local storage (not on our servers). This helps you quickly access your recent searches.
  • Favorite Routes: Routes you mark as favorites are stored in your browser's local storage (not on our servers).
  • Cookie Preferences: Your cookie consent choices are stored to remember your preferences.

You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or using the clear buttons provided in the application.

Route Sharing Links

When you create a shareable link for a route forecast, we store the route information (departure and arrival airports) on our server for 24 hours only. After 24 hours, the link expires and the data is automatically deleted. These links do not contain any personal information.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files generated by websites and placed in the user's computer. They contain data on how the user interacts with websites. They are an important tool for website developers, since it allows them to understand the preferences of their audience and to offer them a more customized experience.

Cookies can cause privacy concerns for some users. Therefore, at ZeroTurb you can disable all non-necessary cookies and we will maintain this setting for further accesses. After 1 year, you will be prompted for consent again.

If you have previously accepted the cookies and now wish to modify your choice, erase your browser cookies and we will ask again for consent when you enter our page. To do this, select your browser type from the links below and follow the instructions:

Types of Cookies We Use

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are needed for the proper and secure functioning of the site, such as remembering your privacy settings or storing security tokens. They do not contain any personal information and are not shared with any third-parties. You can block these cookies through your browser settings. But if you do, we do not guarantee the proper functioning of our website. Your cookies for privacy settings expire after 1 year, security cookies expire when you close the browser.

Performance Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect data on how users interact with our website. We have enabled IP Anonymization, meaning that only a section of each IP is stored in Google's servers and thus cannot be used to identify a specific user. The collected data gives us useful statistics on which pages are visited more often, what time of the day is the most busy, which countries produce the most traffic, etc. This information is used to adapt and improve the website to the observed users activity. Google's privacy policy is available at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. We have set these cookies to not expire.

Targeting Cookies

We use Google Analytics Advertising Features of Demographics, Interests and Remarketing. This requires the use of third-party cookies from DoubleClick or country-specific Google domains. We use this data to (i) get a better understanding of the age group, gender and affinities of the people using our website and to (ii) send personalized advertising to people with similar profiles. You can block third-party cookies in your browser settings. We have set these cookies to not expire.

Bot Protection

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect our service from automated abuse and bots. When you submit a route search, Turnstile verifies that you are a real person. This service may process your IP address and browser information. Cloudflare's privacy policy is available at: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
