<h2 class="mt-4">Privacy</h2>
<p>Spothole collects no data about you on a permanent basis. All spots and alerts are "timed out" and deleted from
    the system after a set interval, which by default is one hour for spots and one week for alerts.</p>
<p>Settings you select from Spothole's menus are sent to the server, in order to provide the data with the requested
    filters. They are also stored in your browser's local storage, so that your preferences are remembered between
    sessions.</p>
<p>The data you provide can optionally include your login credentials for QRZ.com and HamQTH. You can provide these
    in the "Your Data" menu of most pages. If you do, Spothole will augment the data it produces with lookups from
    these
    services, which can for example provide more accurate markers on the map tab, and operator names when you mouse
    over a DX callsign. Spothole will still work fine if you don't provide these. The values you enter are sent to
    Spothole via HTTPS so are protected in transit, though of course you do have to trust Spothole with this
    sensitive data in order to use this feature.</p>
<p>Any data you send as part of a query, such as your QRZ or HamQTH credentials, is used only for the lifetime of
    that
    query and is not saved anywhere apart from your own device.</p>
<p>Spothole uses no trackers, no ads, and no cookies.</p>

<p><strong>Caveat: </strong> The owner of this server has chosen to inject their own content into the "spots" page.
    This is designed for a "donate" or "support this server" button. The functionality of this injected content is
    the responsibility of the server owner, rather than the Spothole software.</p>

<p>Spothole is open source, so you can audit <a href="https://git.ianrenton.com/ian/spothole">the code</a> if you
    like.</p>

<h2 class="mt-4">Legal</h2>
<p>This server is run by an amateur radio operator with callsign {{ server_owner_callsign }}. You should contact them
    with any questions about privacy or legal matters relating to this server, or if you have any issues with the
    website.</p>
<p>Spothole exists as an aggregator of data from many other sources. To the best of the Spothole developers' knowledge,
    all these sources either:</p>
<ul>
    <li>State licence terms that make their data acceptable for use on a non-profit website like this one, or,</li>
    <li>Require you to ask permission before using their data, which has been done, or,</li>
    <li>Have an open API and are happy with third-party use.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you represent one of these data sources and would like it removed, there are two options. The owner of this
    server, {{ server_owner_callsign }}, can disable it on this server straight away. To have it removed from the
    Spothole software itself, so that future versions of Spothole no longer support it on any server, please contact
    Spothole's developer, <a href="https://ianrenton.com">Ian Renton, M0TRT</a>.</p>
<p>Spothole does not produce any real data of its own. Information such as spots and alerts that Spothole displays are
    entered by users, often of other websites. The data may be the property of the user or the other website, depending
    on their terms and conditions.</p>
