Your Privacy

This page explains how FlyGRAK Ghost Hub handles information provided by users of the site.

Who runs this site

FlyGRAK Ghost Hub is an unofficial community site run by FlyGRAK. To reach the site owner, you can contact me@flygrak.co.uk.

What information is collected

When you upload a ghost file or interact with the site, the following information may be collected:

  1. Your chosen username.
  2. Your email address, used for upload verification and site moderation.
  3. The ghost file you upload, including information contained in that file such as package name, score and time where available.
  4. The upload date and related leaderboard information.
  5. Report actions.
  6. A hashed version of your IP address and browser user agent for basic duplicate vote/report prevention.
  7. Standard server logs, which may include IP address, browser details, date/time and requested pages.

Why this information is used

The information is used to operate the site, display community ghost uploads, verify uploaders, prevent obvious spam or duplicate actions, respond to reports, and keep the site safe and useful.

Public information

Your username, uploaded ghost file, extracted score/time where available, upload date and download count may be shown publicly. Your email address is not shown publicly.

Email verification

If your email address has not been verified before, the site sends a verification link before your upload appears publicly. Verification tokens are temporary and are used only to confirm that you control the email address used for the upload.

Reports and moderation

If someone reports a ghost upload, the report reason and relevant upload details may be emailed to the site owner for moderation. Reports are not displayed publicly.

Cookies

This site may use essential session cookies needed for basic site functions, such as showing confirmation messages after uploads, verification or reports. The site may also remember your username and email address in your browser so the upload form is pre-filled next time. These cookies are not used for advertising or tracking.

How long information is kept

Public ghost uploads may remain on the site until removed by the site owner or by request where appropriate. Email addresses are kept for as long as needed to protect usernames, verify uploads, handle moderation and prevent abuse. Server logs are kept according to the hosting provider’s normal retention periods.

Who information is shared with

Information is not sold. Data may be processed by the website hosting provider, email provider or other technical services needed to run the site. Information may also be disclosed if required by law or to deal with abuse, security issues or legal claims.

Your rights

You can contact me@flygrak.co.uk to ask about your data, request correction, request deletion where appropriate, or object to processing.

Unofficial site

FlyGRAK Ghost Hub is an unofficial community site. It is not affiliated with Microsoft, Asobo, or the Microsoft Flight Simulator team.
