Privacy

Your flights stay on your PC.

Last updated October 30, 2026

This page explains what the application and this website do with information about you. In short: your flights stay on your computer, this website does not track you, and the trial and the license work with a code that stands for your PC, never with your flights.

The FSim Replay application

• No account. You never create an account, and the trial asks for neither your name nor your e-mail address.
• No tracking. FSim Replay has no analytics, no telemetry and no advertising.
• The simulator and the panel. FSim Replay talks to Microsoft Flight Simulator through SimConnect, on the same computer by default (an advanced setting can point it to a simulator on another PC of your local network). Its toolbar panel reaches it at 127.0.0.1, an address only your own computer can use, and requests from any other origin are refused. With the Fenix A319, A320 and A321, it also uses the aircraft’s own local interface, on your computer, to set the aircraft state.
• Satellite imagery. When you zoom in on the map, FSim Replay requests satellite images from Esri. Esri receives the requests, which reveal the area you are looking at, and your IP address. Your flights are not sent. Images are kept on your computer only for as long as Esri allows, currently one day. See Esri’s privacy statement.
• What is stored, and where. Your flights (position, attitude, speeds, controls and aircraft state, 20 times per second), your settings and the application logs are kept in FSim Replay’s folder in your Windows user profile. Reels are saved to Videos\FSim Replay. The handle you choose for reels is stored in your settings and only appears in the videos you create.
• You stay in control. You can delete any flight at any time. Uninstalling removes the application; your flights are kept unless you choose to remove them too.
• Exports and reels are yours. CSV, GPX and KML exports and reels are ordinary files on your disk. They are shared only if you share them.

Trial and license

The trial and the license talk to our server, a small service hosted by Cloudflare. They need no name and no e-mail address, and your flights never go through it.

• What the application sends. A code derived from your Windows installation, and your license key or activation token once you have one. The code is a one-way hash: the Windows identifier itself never leaves your PC and cannot be worked out from the code. The token holds only that code, whether it is a trial or a license, and its dates. Each request also carries the application’s version number and, like any connection, your IP address.
• When. When you start the trial, activate a PC, renew its activation or release it. A copy with a token also contacts the server at each start, then every 6 hours while it runs, to receive the satellite imagery key or have it withdrawn.
• What our server keeps. For a trial, the code and the trial’s dates, so that it runs once per PC, even after a reinstall. For a license, a hash of the key and the order number, then for each activated PC its code, its activation reference and the dates of activation and last renewal. Your key and your e-mail address are not stored there. The 6-hour check adds nothing to this. These records are kept for as long as the trial limit or the license needs them, and releasing a PC erases its activation record.
• Who else is involved. Cloudflare hosts the server and receives your IP address with each request. The country it deduces from that address is used, without being stored, to refuse the imagery key where Esri’s terms exclude it. Creem receives your key and a shortened version of the code when you activate a PC, then your key to renew or release that activation. These services may process this information outside your country.
• Buying. FSim Replay is sold through Creem, its merchant of record: Creem takes the order and the payment, sends the receipt and the license key, and handles refunds. It collects your name, e-mail address, billing address and payment details under its own privacy notice. We can see your order in Creem’s tools so that we can help you; our server keeps only the order number and the hash of the key.

Updates and support

• Checking for updates. When you open the settings window or click Check for updates, FSim Replay reads a small file from this website. Cloudflare receives your IP address and the application’s version number. Nothing else is sent.
• Diagnostic logs. Only when you click Upload diagnostic logs and confirm, FSim Replay sends our server its recent logs, with your PC’s code and the application’s version number. These logs describe what the application did and name the airports and aircraft of your flights. Your Windows user name is masked, and your flights themselves and your license key are not sent. We use them only to look into your problem, and the server erases them after 30 days.
