The purpose of this policy is to describe how vFSP collects, uses, and shares personal information.
This policy applies to any current or former user of vFSP who has authenticated with vFSP using a VATSIM Certificate Identification (CID) number via VATSIM Connect.
Use of vFSP does not require registration with vFSP services. Users must have registered with, and provide, a VATSIM CID to authenticate with vFSP. VATSIM maintains its own Privacy Policy which can be found on its website.
vFSP may collect information provided by VATSIM, including but not limited to, users’ CIDs and names, for users that authenticate with vFSP via VATSIM Connect. vFSP will not share, sell or rent this information to other parties.
In compliance with GDPR, we process data under the following lawful bases:
Under GDPR and CCPA (California Residents), users of vFSP have the following rights:
You can exercise any of these rights by contacting [email protected].
In the normal course of authenticating with vFSP via VATSIM Connect, certain personal statistical information may be collected. This information includes, but is not limited to, name, CID and time of connection. This information will not be shared publicly or with 3rd parties, but statistical information may be aggregated and shared in an anonymized manner.
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Data related to user accounts, exams, logs, and support is retained for up to 24 months after inactivity unless required otherwise by law or upon user request.
Your data may be stored and processed in the United States, United Kingdom, or European Union. We apply appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to ensure lawful international data transfers under GDPR.
Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13. Access requires a VATSIM account, which is restricted to individuals aged 13 or older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under this age.
If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately at [email protected] to request deletion.
vFSP may use cookies on its site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive which is used to track you through our site and for network security.
The vFSP website contains links to third-party sites. vFSP is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such other sites. vFSP encourages its users to be aware when they leave its website and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the vFSP website or by authenticating via vFSP.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any significant changes will be communicated on our platform or by email where applicable. Continued use of our services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
