Privacy

What stays on your device

• Your project — spots, marker, shape and styling — is saved in this browser's local storage so you can close the tab and come back.
• A marker image you upload is resized in the browser and stored the same way. It is never uploaded anywhere.
• The exported poster is drawn on a canvas on your machine and saved straight to your downloads.
• If you use locate me, your browser asks for permission and the position is only used to move the map. It is not stored or sent anywhere.

Clearing your browser data deletes all of it, and we cannot recover it. Use Save project to keep a copy as a file.

What leaves your browser

• Map tiles are requested from OpenStreetMap and CARTO. Those requests tell them which part of the world you are looking at, along with the usual things any web request carries.
• Place search sends what you type to Nominatim, run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Clicking the map sends those coordinates to the same service to find a name for the place.
• The city list and the emoji artwork are files served with the app itself — using them involves no third party.
• Advertising. The last step of the editor shows one ad from Google AdSense, which pays for the map tiles and the hosting. Google may set cookies or read a device identifier to choose and measure that ad; what it collects is covered by Google's own policy, not this one. Your project, your spots and your poster are not shared with it.

Each of those services has its own privacy policy, which we do not control. If you would rather not use search at all, the coordinate and city-list inputs work without contacting anyone.

What we do not do

No analytics of our own, no tracking pixels, and no account to create. Apart from the ad described above, nothing on this page profiles you. We do not collect your locations, and we could not read them even if we wanted to — they never reach us.
