Data and cookies
Short and specific: what the site stores, what for, and how to get rid of it. If something here doesn't suit you, that feature can be left alone or the account deleted.

Your account
Needed only to add places, vote and send messages. The whole site reads fine without one.
- Email and password — the password is stored only as a hash, and cannot be recovered, by us either.
- Name and username — other people see these; that is the point of them.
- Karma and moderation history, so the rules apply the same way to everyone.
What you publish
Legends, photos and comments are public and indexed by search engines — that is what a catalogue is for.
- The coordinates and photographs of a place you add.
- Uploaded images are screened automatically before they appear.
Strictly necessary cookies
Always on and exempt from consent — the site does not function without them, which the law provides for directly.
- Your sign-in session; without it every page would log you out.
- Your chosen language, your theme, and the record of the decision you made on this page — all kept in your browser.
Analytics
Nothing loads until you press Accept. Refusing breaks nothing — the site behaves identically.
- Vercel Web Analytics: anonymous page-view statistics — which pages get opened and which site a visitor arrived from. No cookies, no visitor profile, no tracking across other sites.
- You can withdraw at any time via "Cookie settings" at the foot of the page; collection stops immediately.
Your rights
What is stored about you stays under your control.
- Delete your account, and your data goes with it.
- Withdraw analytics consent from one link at the foot of any page.
- Your data is not sold, and not shared with third parties for advertising.
