Privacy Policy
Short version: we don't store your precise coordinates, we don't sell data, and we use server-side analytics with truncated location data for aggregate reporting only. Full details below.
This privacy policy explains what data we collect, what we don't, and how it's handled. Last updated: 2026-05-27.
1. What we collect
Server logs include your IP address, browser user-agent, referring page, and a session identifier — the standard data any website receives. We use this for security monitoring, debugging, and aggregate analytics.
2. Location data
When you click the locate button and grant permission, your browser sends your coordinates to our reverse-geocoding proxy. The proxy truncates coordinates to ~100 meter precision before any logging. We never store your precise position.
3. Cookies
We use a small set of cookies for theme preference (light/dark mode), session identification (analytics), and a privacy-friendly visitor tracker. No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics cookies.
4. Third parties
Reverse geocoding uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Elevation and weather use Open-Meteo. Map tiles come from OpenStreetMap. IP-based fallback uses ipwho.is. We send minimal data — typically just coordinates — to these services.
5. Data sharing and sale
We do not sell user data. We do not share user data with advertisers. Aggregate, anonymized usage statistics may be shared in case studies or blog posts.
6. Your rights
You can clear cookies anytime in your browser settings. You can request removal of any personally identifying information from our logs by emailing [email protected].
7. Children
This service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
