Privacy Policy

Overview

ISS-over.me (accessible at https://iss-over.me) is a free tool for checking upcoming ISS and Tiangong passes, Moon phase, and meteor shower activity for cities around the world. This page explains what information is collected when you visit, how cookies are used, and how to contact us with questions.

Information we collect

We do not require accounts, logins, or personal details to use this site. If you use the "Use My Location" feature, your browser's geolocation is used only to find nearby cities and is processed in your browser — it is not stored on our servers.

Our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical information for security and reliability, such as IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This is not linked to your identity.

Cookies and local storage

This site may use cookies and browser local storage to remember your display preferences (such as units and clock format) and, where enabled, to measure site traffic. If analytics cookies are in use, you will see a cookie banner letting you accept or decline them; you can change your choice at any time via "Manage Cookies" in the footer.

Advertising

ISS-over.me may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These third parties may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, a consent prompt is shown before any personalized ads are served, in line with Google's EU User Consent Policy.

Third-party services

ISS-over.me has no access to or control over cookies set by third-party advertisers or analytics providers. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites linked from this site (including data source attributions on our Credits & Data page). We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or CCPA (California) to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. Since we do not operate user accounts and store minimal personal data, most requests can be resolved by clearing cookies in your browser or declining the cookie banner. For any other request, contact us using the details below.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with the "Last updated" date above revised accordingly.
