What the website keeps in your browser

Draft, not legal advice. This page is a placeholder written to show the structure. The final text will be written or reviewed by a lawyer before the iPhone app ships. Questions in the meantime: hello@whatsnuevo.com.

The short version

The website doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. It keeps your lists and settings in your browser's local storage so they work without an account. You can clear them any time.

What we keep in your browser

These stay in this browser only, unless you sign in, in which case your lists also sync to your account.

WhatWhy
Your Want to go, Been and Following listsSo your saves are here next time
Sign-in session (only if you sign in)Keeps you signed in and your lists in sync
Changes waiting to syncSo nothing is lost if you go offline
When you last opened UpdatesTo show how many updates are new
Your last 6 searchesQuick access to recent searches
Your last known location (only if you allow it)Distances and "Near me"
Install banner dismissedSo we don't keep asking

The website also keeps a small offline page (with a "service worker") to show when you have no connection. It doesn't store anything about you.

Analytics

We count page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which works without cookies and doesn't identify you or follow you to other sites.

Outside services the website loads

Like any website, these receive your IP address and browser details when they send their part of the page. They aren't used for ads.

  • Supabase: listings, sign-in and synced lists.
  • Vercel: hosting and page-view counts.
  • Google Fonts: the Inter typeface.
  • CARTO, Esri and OpenStreetMap: map tiles on the map page.
  • unpkg: the map's open-source code.

How to clear it

Signing out clears your lists from this browser (they stay in your account). To clear everything, use your browser's settings to clear site data for whatsnuevo.com. Your lists will be gone from this browser unless you're signed in.

The iPhone app

The app doesn't use cookies. It keeps the same things on your phone; see the Privacy Policy and You → Privacy & data in the app.
