<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>
