Privacy Policy
The short version: your coordinates are processed in your browser and never stored on our servers; helper lookups are proxied so third parties never see you; history and saved places live only on your device; analytics run only if you say yes, and even then coordinates are truncated to ~110 m.
What we process, and where
- Your position: read by your browser's Geolocation API with your permission, rendered on your screen. Not transmitted to us, not stored by us.
- Helper lookups (address, weather, what3words): your coordinates are sent to our own server, which queries the upstream service and returns the answer. Upstreams see our server, not you. Our proxies truncate any logged coordinates to 3 decimals (~110 m).
- IP lookups: to answer “what is my IP location”, our server consults IP databases with the IP your connection presents. Nothing is retained.
- History & saved places: stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. We cannot read them. Clearing site data deletes them.
- Analytics: only with your explicit consent via the banner; first-party only; coordinates truncated; honoring Do Not Track. Declining changes nothing about how the tools work.
- Developer API signups: name, email, and a hash of your key are stored (SQLite on our server) to operate the service — the one place we keep personal data, used solely for abuse control and breaking-change notices.
What we never do
- We never sell your data, and we never share your location, your saved places or your search history with anyone.
- No cross-site tracking and no fingerprinting.
- No cookies beyond the strictly-functional ones described above, plus any advertising cookies you consent to — see Advertising below for exactly what that means today.
Questions or deletion requests (API signups): contact us. GDPR/CCPA: local-only data is under your control by design; for API signup data, email us for access or erasure.
Advertising
This site carries no ads and no ad networks. No third-party JavaScript runs on these pages at all — the only external resource your browser fetches is OpenStreetMap map tiles, and only when you view a map.
If that ever changes, this section changes with it: it is generated from the site's live configuration rather than written by hand, so it cannot fall out of date.
