Privacy policy

orbit.ing-now.com does not collect personal data. There is no registration, no login, no forms, and no account system. We do not know who you are, and we cannot identify you from anything this site records.

The only data we store from your visit is anonymous page-view counts: when you open a satellite page, a counter for that satellite (NORAD id and date) is incremented. This powers the "Popular right now" section on the homepage. The counts contain no IP address, no user agent and no personal identifier — they are aggregate numbers, nothing more.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. This site uses cookies in the following ways:

• Advertising & analytics — via Google Tag Manager, Google AdSense and (once configured) Google Analytics 4, cookies may collect information about your visit (pages viewed, links followed, browser and device type, IP address) so that advertising shown on this and other websites can be relevant to you.
• Consent — your advertising and analytics preferences are managed by Google's own consent message, which appears automatically for visitors in the EU/EEA/UK. Nothing sets cookies before you respond to that message, and your choice is remembered.

You can set your browser to refuse cookies, and allaboutcookies.org explains how to remove them. You can also review or withdraw your advertising choices at any time using Google's Ads Settings or the consent message on this site. In a few cases some site features may not function as a result.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation you are entitled to the following rights:

• The right to access — request copies of your personal data (provided free of charge).
• The right to rectification — request that we correct information you believe is inaccurate.
• The right to erasure — request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to restrict processing — request that we restrict how your data is processed, under certain conditions.
• The right to object to processing — object to our processing of your data, under certain conditions.
• The right to data portability — request that we transfer your data to another organisation, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond. As we hold no personal data, most of these rights will be satisfied trivially — but the rights still apply, and we will honour them.

This site contains links to other websites. Our privacy policy applies only to orbit.ing-now.com — if you follow a link to another site, please read its own privacy policy.

If you have any questions about this policy, the data we hold on you, or would like to exercise one of your data protection rights, please contact us at contact@orbit.ing-now.com.

Should you wish to report a complaint, or feel we have not addressed your concern satisfactorily, you may contact the Information Commissioner's Office.

This policy is kept under regular review and updates are posted on this page. Last updated: 30 August 2026.
