Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 11, 2026 • DXNetHub Platform
At DXNetHub, the physical safety of radio operators is our absolute highest priority. Under no circumstances are operators, members, or contacts ever pinpointed to an exact house, street address, or physical spot. All station coordinates are automatically generalized or fuzzed by approximately 1km using standard Maidenhead Locator sub-square quantization.
1. Information We Collect
DXNetHub collects minimal information necessary to provide real-time radio logging, live map visualization, and event management:
- Account Information: When you register or sign in via Google OAuth, we receive your email address and display name. If you use a local account, we store salted and cryptographically hashed passwords (using PBKDF2 with SHA-256).
- Radio Profile Details: Your callsign, operating handle, country region, and approximate generalized QTH town/Maidenhead grid square (e.g. IO83).
- On-Air Check-In Logs: When participating in radio nets, controllers log first names, callsigns, signal reports (RST), and approximate general areas.
- Personal Daily Logbook: Personal QSO records you create in your private logbook. These are strictly isolated and accessible only to your account.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To plot approximate station pins and as-the-crow-flies signal distance paths on our real-time Leaflet map.
- To authenticate your operator session and verify email ownership for security.
- To notify you of upcoming scheduled nets, expiring hilltop radio presences, or security alerts.
- We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal data to any third party or marketing network. DXNetHub is 100% ad-free.
3. Google OAuth Data
When using "Sign in with Google", DXNetHub requests only basic
profile information (openid,
profile, and
email). This data is used solely to authenticate your identity and
populate your operator display name. We do not access Google Drive,
contacts, calendars, or other private Google services.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We use essential first-party HTTP-only, secure cookies (RadioNet.Auth) to maintain logged-in operator sessions. We use local browser
storage only to remember your map theme preference (dark/light) and
dismissed notification alerts. We do not use third-party tracking or
advertising cookies.
5. Data Retention & Rights
You retain full control over your data. You may update your profile, handle, callsign, and password at any time via your account preferences. You may permanently delete contacts from your personal daily logbook. For complete account deletion requests, contact our administration team.
