Overview
Park Finder ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website.
Information We Do NOT Collect or Store
Location Data: When you use the "Find Near Me" feature, your location is processed entirely in your browser. We do not send, store, or save your location data on our servers. The location is only used to calculate distances to parks and is discarded immediately.
- We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers
- We do not store your search queries or park preferences
- We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising
- We do not sell or share any data with third parties
Information We May Collect
We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how our website is used and to improve the user experience. This may include:
- Anonymous Usage Data: Page views, referring websites, browser type, and device type
- Geographic Region: General location (city/country level only) derived from IP address, not precise location
- Technical Information: Screen size, operating system for optimization purposes
All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. We cannot identify individual users.
How Location Data Works
When you click "Find Near Me":
- Your browser asks for your permission to share your location
- If you grant permission, the location is used only in your browser to calculate distances to parks
- The location coordinates may appear in your browser's URL bar for your convenience
- Your location is never sent to our servers or stored in any database
- You can clear location data at any time by clicking "Find Near Me" again or closing your browser
Third-Party Services
Our website is hosted on Vercel and uses Turso for park data storage. These services may collect standard server logs and technical information. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies:
