Privacy
We count visits, but we don't track you. No accounts, no cookies, no ads, and your full IP address is never stored or shared.
What we record when you visit
Each page you open sends one small report to this site. It's added to our visit statistics with:
- The page, like
/about/. Never the part of the address after?or#, which is where the map keeps the area you're looking at. We never record map positions or coordinates. - The page's title.
- The page that linked you here, if your browser shares it (many only share the site's name).
- Your browser's user-agent string, which says which browser and operating system you use, and their versions.
- Your screen size and language setting.
- Your approximate location: country, state if you're in the US, and a rough guess at a nearby city. It comes from a fake version of your IP address (see below).
- The date and time.
We also count these actions on the page, but never which camera or where it is:
- Opening a camera's details on the map. Only what kind of point it was (like "not yet mapped") and whether it's a plate reader or gunshot detector.
Your IP address
We never save your IP address or pass it on. Before a visit goes into our stats, our server swaps it for a fake address from the same area, so we still see roughly where visits come from. The fake address changes every day, so we can't tell when someone comes back.
Opting out
If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we don't count your visit. Turning off JavaScript does the same.
What your browser loads from other sites
- Map images come from OpenStreetMap. They see your IP address and which part of the map you're looking at. Their privacy policy.
- Search uses Photon, run by komoot. They get what you type (after 3 letters), the area you're looking at, and your IP address. Their privacy policy.
Everything else (the page, fonts, and camera data) comes from this site.
Your location
Only used if you tap the locate button. It stays in your browser and is never sent to us. The map then loads images for that area from OpenStreetMap, like it does anywhere you look.
What's saved on your device
Only your light or dark choice, if you pick one in the menu bar.
Server logs
Our web server keeps no access logs. Its error log never includes IP addresses or request details.
