Privacy Policy

The short version

• We do not sell, rent, or share personal data, and we run no third-party analytics or advertising/tracking SDKs on either surface.
• All orbital and Earth-science data we display comes from public sources (see our data & methodology).
• Website donations are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
• The Website stores a few small preferences in your browser's localStorage (e.g. your marker render style). These never leave your device.
• The Quest App uses the Meta Platform SDK only to verify that you own the App (an entitlement check). We collect and store no personal data beyond that.

1. The Website (spacejunkview.com)

1.1 Donations (Stripe)

The Website offers an optional, voluntary donation. Payments are handled entirely by Stripe using Stripe's hosted checkout. When you choose to donate, you enter your payment details on Stripe's pages — Third Space LLC never receives, sees, or stores your full card number or other card data. Stripe processes that information as an independent controller under its own terms; see Stripe's Privacy Policy. We receive only what we need to recognize a donation occurred (for example, that a payment succeeded), and we do not use it to build a profile of you.

1.2 Local preferences (your browser only)

The Website saves small preferences in your browser's localStorage — for example, your chosen marker render style (Glow vs Sharp) and whether you've dismissed the controls hint. These stay on your device, are not transmitted to us, and can be cleared at any time from your browser settings. They are strictly-necessary preference values, not advertising or tracking identifiers.

1.3 No analytics or tracking

We do not currently run third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking on the Website (no Google Analytics, no advertising pixels, no third-party cookies). As with any website, our hosting/CDN provider may generate transient server access logs (including IP address and user-agent) to deliver pages and for basic security; these are operational and short-lived, and we do not use them to identify or profile you.

1.4 Public data

Everything the Website displays — satellite and debris positions, breakup events, Earth imagery — is derived from public data sources such as CelesTrak (orbital elements) and NASA (imagery). See About & methodology for the full list and how propagation works in your browser.

2. The Meta Quest app ("Space Junk View VR")

2.1 Entitlement / ownership check (Meta Platform SDK)

Because the App is a paid title, on launch it asks the Meta Platform SDK whether your Meta account is entitled to (owns) the App. Meta processes your platform user identifier and returns an ownership result (owned / not owned). We use that result only to decide whether to start the experience. Third Space LLC does not store the platform identifier, build a profile, or link it to anything. Meta's handling of your account and identifier is governed by Meta's own privacy policy for Meta accounts and Quest devices.

2.2 No personal data, no analytics

Beyond that platform entitlement check, the App collects and stores no personal data. There are no in-app analytics or tracking SDKs, no advertising, and no microphone, camera, contacts, location, or biometric collection. The App downloads the same public satellite/Earth-science data as the Website over standard HTTPS requests; like any internet request these necessarily expose your device's IP address to the server, which is used only to deliver the response and for basic operational security — not to identify or profile you.

Any preferences the App saves (e.g. comfort options) are stored locally on your headset and are not transmitted to us.

3. Your rights (GDPR / CCPA and similar)

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or California's CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Because we do not maintain user profiles and store no personal identifiers about our users on our servers, in most cases we hold no personal data to act on. We do not sell or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not use your data for targeted advertising. For the entitlement processing performed by Meta, please also use Meta's own privacy controls. To exercise a right or ask a question, contact us at joshua@thirdspaced.com.

4. Children

Our products are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Use of Meta Quest hardware is additionally subject to Meta's own age requirements and policies.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our products evolve. Material changes (for example, adding analytics or accounts) will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date before the change takes effect. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
