FindNearCity ("we", "our", "us") operates the website www.findnearcity.org. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service.
Location data: When you search for a city or use "My location", your coordinates are sent to third-party APIs (TomTom, Open-Meteo, OpenStreetMap/CARTO) to provide nearby places, weather, traffic and routing data. We do not store your location on our servers.
Usage data: Google AdSense and similar services may collect anonymized usage data including IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior through cookies.
No account data: We do not require registration and do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers.
We use your browser's localStorage to remember your preferences. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to any server:
Favorites: Places you save are stored locally in your browser. You can remove them at any time.
Language preference: Your chosen language (EN, NL, FR, DE, ES) is remembered between visits.
Dark mode: Your light/dark theme preference is saved locally.
Cookie consent: Your cookie preference is stored to avoid repeated prompts.
You can clear all local data by clearing your browser's site data for findnearcity.org.
When you use the Share feature, a URL is generated containing the map coordinates, search radius, selected category and display preferences. This link does not contain personal data, only map parameters.
We use the following third-party services:
TomTom (tomtom.com) - Places search, traffic data and routing. Your search coordinates are sent to TomTom to find nearby places, calculate routes and display traffic. Subject to TomTom's privacy policy.
Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) - Weather data. Open-source. Coordinates are sent to retrieve current weather. No personal data collected.
OpenStreetMap / CARTO - Map tiles. Your viewport coordinates determine which map tiles are loaded. Subject to their respective privacy policies.
OpenStreetMap Nominatim - Geocoding (converting city names to coordinates). Your search text is sent to find the location.
Google AdSense (google.com/adsense) - Advertising. Google may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history. You can manage ad preferences at adssettings.google.com.
Essential cookies: Cookie consent preference, stored via localStorage.
Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements. You can choose "Essential only" in the cookie banner to disable personalized ads.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.
We do not store any personal data on our servers. All searches are processed in real-time through third-party APIs and are not logged by us. Cached results are stored only in your browser's memory and are cleared when you close the tab. Favorites and preferences persist in localStorage until you clear them.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port your personal data, and to object to processing. Since we do not store personal data on our servers, most of these rights are automatically fulfilled. For advertising-related data, please contact Google directly. To erase locally stored data, clear your browser's site data.
Our service is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
