Privacy

Short version: no account, no cookies, and we can’t identify you from a report.

What we store

Ratings and speed tests you submit. The place, the score or speeds, connection type, optional carrier, rough timeframe, and a one-way hashed fingerprint of your IP address used only to limit spam. We cannot recover your IP from it, and we store nothing else about you.
Nothing else. Browsing the map creates no account, no profile, and no advertising identifier.

Map tiles load from OpenFreeMap and our tile host, which see the standard web request (IP, user agent) needed to serve them.
Search queries go to Photon (komoot.io) to turn what you type into places.
Speed tests run against M-Lab only when you start one, after an explicit consent step. M-Lab publishes results, including the tester’s IP address, as open research data under its privacy policy. That’s the deal that keeps a global measurement network free, and it’s why we ask first.
Traffic counting uses Google Analytics in cookieless mode: analytics storage is switched off before it loads, so it sets no cookies and builds no advertising profile. It gives us anonymous, aggregate counts of visits, pages, and countries. Google sees the standard web request needed to receive those pings.

None, including from analytics. If that ever changes, this page changes first.
