AERIALELast updated 29 October 2026
Privacy policy
Aeriale (aeriale-game.com) is a free geography game. This page explains what personal data is processed when you play, why, who receives it and what your rights are, as required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and Italian privacy law (D.Lgs. 196/2003).
In short: there are no accounts, your game progress stays in your own browser, and we don't sell data. Some technical data (mainly your IP address) necessarily reaches the services that host the site and serve the satellite images.
Who is responsible
The data controller is [OWNER NAME], Italy. Contact: [CONTACT EMAIL]. Use this address for any privacy question or request.
What is processed, and why
| What | Why, and on what legal basis | Who receives it | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your IP address, browser type and the pages requested (technical log data) | To deliver the website and protect it from abuse and attacks. Legitimate interest (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)). | Cloudflare, Inc. (hosting and security) | According to Cloudflare's retention, usually a few days |
| Your IP address and the map area being shown, when satellite images and map data load; anonymous map-load counts | To show the satellite photos the game is built on, and so that the map provider can count usage for billing. Legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f)): the game cannot work without it. | Mapbox, Inc. (map imagery) | According to Mapbox's privacy policy |
| Suggestions you send (the city, country and message you type) and, only if you choose to give it, your email address | To read your suggestion and, if you left an email, to reply. Your request (art. 6(1)(b)) and, for the email, your consent (art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time. | Google (Google Sheets / Apps Script, where suggestions are stored) | Up to 24 months, or until you ask us to delete them |
| Your game progress, settings and a daily count of suggestions sent | To remember your stats and options between visits. Stored only in your own browser (local storage); it is never sent to us. No consent is needed because it is strictly necessary for features you use. | Nobody: it stays on your device | Until you clear your browser's site data |
The game checks, inside your browser, whether an ad blocker is hiding parts of the page. This check sends nothing anywhere.
We don't use analytics or advertising cookies at the moment. If we add advertising or analytics in the future, they will only run after you agree through a consent banner, and this page will be updated first.
Transfers outside the EU
Cloudflare, Mapbox and Google are based in the United States. Transfers to them rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses included in their data processing terms.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format (GDPR art. 15–22). Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Write to the contact address above. Most game data lives only in your browser: you can erase it yourself by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, or with the authority in your own EU country.
Children
Aeriale is suitable for all ages and collects no account data. Players under 14 (the age of digital consent in Italy) should not send their email address in the suggestions form without a parent's permission.
