Privacy Policy

What this covers

This policy covers calmradar.com and everything served from it: the landing page, the Delta Fare Watch preview at /delta, the bag guarantee helper at /delta-bags, the Woot-Off Checker museum at /woot/, and the Film Log Database archive at /filmlog/.

The tools that live on their own subdomains are separate applications and are not described here. See the private apps on subdomains below.

What CalmRadar does not do

On this site there is:

• No account system, login, or profile — nothing to register for.
• No advertising, no cross-site tracking, and no fingerprinting scripts.
• No cookies set by CalmRadar.
• No database of visitors, and no server-side record of anything you type.
• No selling, renting, or sharing of personal information, because none is gathered to sell.

What the site does run is Cloudflare Web Analytics, a page-load counter that Cloudflare adds to every page. It sets no cookies and gives you no identifier that follows you from page to page. Exactly what it reports is under Who else sees a request.

The Film Log archive once reported to Google Analytics, back when it was a running application. That snippet survives in the archived source but is commented out, so it does not load and does not run.

Page by page

Every page below carries the same Cloudflare Web Analytics script, described under Who else sees a request. What follows is what each page does beyond that.

The landing page /

Nothing else is collected. There are no forms, no storage, and no other scripts that report anywhere.

Delta Fare Watch preview /delta

A working interface running on invented data — none of the fares, routes, or trips shown belong to a real person. The only thing it remembers about you is how you set its Appearance controls — style, accent colour, light or dark, corner radius, and text size — one browser storage key each, named under Browser storage below.

Bag Guarantee helper /delta-bags

The only page here that asks for personal details: your first and last name, SkyMiles number, flight date, departure and arrival airport codes, and confirmation number.

All of it stays in this browser, on this device, under the storage key calmradar.deltaBags.v1. It is never transmitted to CalmRadar or to anyone else. The page exists to get your details straight and the deadline right before you go to Delta; when you are ready it opens delta.com/bag-guarantee in a new tab, and you enter the claim there yourself. From that point Delta handles your information under their privacy policy, not this one.

Clearing site data for calmradar.com erases what the page saved. So does using a private window, where the browser discards it when the window closes.

Woot-Off Checker museum /woot/

A static archive of a 2006 tool, including audio clips that play when you press them. Nothing else is collected and nothing is stored.

Film Log Database archive /filmlog/

A read-only preservation of an application that stopped in 2015. The login box, comment fields, and rating controls are inert markup left in place for accuracy — there is no server to submit them to. The only trace a press leaves is the one every page’s Web Analytics report carries: which element took the slowest tap or keypress, and whether a pointer or keyboard made it.

The archived pages still reference two third-party scripts, one of which the browser actually loads, and the archive holds other people’s writing. Both are covered below.

Who else sees a request

Loading any web page means asking some machines for files. These are the ones that are not CalmRadar:

Cloudflare

Hosts and serves this entire site. Every request passes through it, which means it processes your IP address, your user agent, and the URL you asked for, and may keep limited request metadata for security and abuse prevention. That handling is governed by Cloudflare’s own terms.

Cloudflare Web Analytics static.cloudflareinsights.com

Cloudflare adds a small script to every page as it serves it, loaded from static.cloudflareinsights.com. After the page loads, and again when you leave or switch away from it, the script sends a short report to calmradar.com/cdn-cgi/rum, which Cloudflare answers. The report holds the address of the page and of the page you came from, each with its query string and anything after a # removed; how long the page took to load and draw; and the Core Web Vitals scores, which name the page elements involved — the largest one drawn, the one that shifted most, and the one behind the slowest tap or keypress — by their place in the page’s code, never by what you typed into them.

Each report carries a random number made up for that one page load and never saved, so the script gives you no identifier that lasts beyond it. The report still arrives, like every request here, with your IP address and user agent, which Cloudflare handles as described above. The script sets no cookies and writes nothing to your browser’s storage. From the request itself Cloudflare works out a country, and from your user agent a browser, operating system, and device type. CalmRadar sees the results only as totals in Cloudflare’s dashboard: page views and visits by page, referring site, country, browser, and device, and how fast the pages were.

Google Fonts fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com

Loads the typefaces on /delta-bags. The request tells Google your IP address and user agent. It does not tell Google anything you typed into the page.

Google-hosted jQuery ajax.googleapis.com

Loads on Film Log archive pages, from the same public CDN address the application used in 2011. Preserved rather than rewritten so the archive stays faithful.

Google +1 button apis.google.com

Referenced by Film Log archive pages, and the one entry here that is disclosed for completeness rather than because it happens. The archive asks for it over plain http, as pages did in 2011, so on this site — which is served over https — browsers refuse it as mixed content and the request never leaves. Google also retired the service in 2019, so nothing would run if it did. It is listed because the reference is still in the archived markup, and a browser that stopped blocking mixed content would start disclosing your IP address and the page you are reading.

Sites you click through to

The archives link out to IMDb, TMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, the Internet Archive, and delta.com. Following one of those links is a visit to that company, under their policy rather than this one.

None of these is an advertising network, a data broker, or a payment processor, and apart from the Web Analytics report above, no information about you is sent to any of them beyond what a browser discloses in the act of requesting a file. Film Log posters, despite the volume of them, are not third-party requests: CalmRadar serves them itself from its own storage.

If you would rather the Google requests or the Web Analytics report did not happen, a content blocker will stop them. Every page works the same without the analytics script. The bag guarantee page is designed to work without its web fonts. The Film Log archive depends on that jQuery file for its interactive parts, so blocking it leaves those pages readable but static.

Browser storage and cookies

CalmRadar sets no cookies. Two pages save values in your browser’s local storage, which stay on your device, never travel with a request, and cannot be read by CalmRadar:

• calmradar.deltaBags.v1 — your name, SkyMiles number, and last route, so the next claim at the carousel starts already filled in.
• delta-style, delta-accent, delta-mode, delta-radius and delta-scaling — how you set the Appearance controls on the fare watch preview, so it opens looking the way you left it.

All of them are removed when you clear site data for calmradar.com. Both pages are written to work when storage is unavailable or blocked, so refusing them costs you convenience and nothing else.

Cloudflare may set its own cookie on some requests as part of security and bot management. That one belongs to the host, not to CalmRadar. Its Web Analytics script sets none and stores nothing.

The people in the Film Log archive

The Film Log Database preserves a private film log kept between 2010 and 2015 by fifteen people who rated and reviewed films together. It is the one place on this site holding personal information about anyone other than you.

Before it was republished it was anonymized:

• Display names were replaced with pseudonyms.
• Profile photographs that used to load from Facebook were replaced with a single placeholder image served by CalmRadar, so no request goes to Facebook and no face is republished.
• The site’s test suite checks that the removed names and the Facebook image addresses stay out, so a future change cannot quietly put them back.

What remains is pseudonymous: film ratings, review text, viewing dates, and the lists people made. If you kept a log there and want your entries corrected or removed, write to privacy@calmradar.com, say which pseudonym is yours, and it will be taken care of. You do not need to explain why.

Your choices and requests

• Erase what a page saved. Clear site data for calmradar.com in your browser settings, or use a private window.
• Stop the third-party requests. A content blocker, or a browser setting that blocks third-party requests, prevents the Google requests and the Cloudflare Web Analytics script described above.
• Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. The Cloudflare Web Analytics script does not check either signal, so page loads are counted whether or not you send them. It sets no cookies and builds no profile, so there is no tracking for them to switch off. To stay out of the page-load count, use a content blocker.
• Access, correction, export, or deletion. Because there are no accounts and no visitor records, and the Web Analytics totals are not tied to anyone, there is normally nothing held about you to hand over or erase — what exists is on your own device, under your control. The exception is the Film Log archive above.

Whatever your jurisdiction gives you the right to ask, ask it at privacy@calmradar.com and you will get a direct answer, including when the honest answer is that nothing is held.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Beyond that, the strongest thing that can be said about security here is structural rather than procedural: this site keeps no personal information at rest, so there is no store of visitor data to breach, sell, subpoena, or lose.

The private apps on subdomains

The landing page links to tools that run on their own subdomains. Delta Fare Watch (delta.calmradar.com), Job.exe (jobs.calmradar.com/app), and Privacy Sweep (sweep.calmradar.com) are private, single-operator applications gated at the edge by Cloudflare Access. If you open one without an invitation you meet a login screen and go no further; that gate is the point. The public previews at /delta and jobs.calmradar.com exist so the interfaces can be seen without that.

Those applications, and Simple Privacy Search at privacy.calmradar.com, are separate from this site and handle information under their own arrangements. This policy describes calmradar.com and does not speak for them.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13, and no personal information is knowingly collected from anyone here — children included, since what is collected here is page-load totals, not information about anybody.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes with it. The site is built in public, so every previous version of this page and every change to the code it describes stays visible in the project’s commit history rather than being replaced quietly.
