Privacy policy

Last updated

Short version: you don't need an account, we don't sell or share personal data, and your ZIP code and location stay in your browser.

What happens when you look up a ZIP

  • The lookup runs in your browser. Your ZIP code is never sent to us; it only appears after the # in the page address, a part browsers do not send to any server.
  • To answer, your browser downloads one data file covering all ZIP codes that start with the same three digits (for example every ZIP from 605xx). That request reveals only those three digits.
  • "Use my location" asks your browser for your position, works out the nearest ZIP on your device, and sends the location nowhere. Your browser asks your permission first.
  • "Turn the dial with my phone" reads your phone's compass on the device only.

Maps

Maps load only when you open one. The map tiles, fonts and the map code come from our own storage, not from a mapping company, so no map provider learns which area you are looking at.

Hosting and server logs

The site and its data files are served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic request details (page or file requested, time, browser type) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We don't use these to identify you. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Cookies and storage in your browser

  • We set no cookies of our own and show no ads.
  • Your light or dark theme choice is saved in your browser so it sticks between visits.
  • Pages you have visited may be kept in your browser's cache so the site still opens when you are offline. Clearing your browser data removes them.

Analytics

We do not use any analytics or tracking service at the moment. If that changes, this page will say so first.

When you contact us

If you email us (for example to report a wrong channel), we use your message and email address only to reply and to fix the data, and keep them only as long as needed for that. We don't add you to any mailing list.

Children

The site is for a general audience and collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Your choices and rights

Because we don't keep personal data tied to you, there is usually nothing to access or delete. If you have emailed us, you can ask us to delete that correspondence at any time.

Changes and contact

We'll update this page when anything changes and show the date at the top. Questions: [email protected].
