Privacy Policy

What we collect

When you create an account, we store your email address and display name. When you create guides, we store the content you add — place names, notes, categories, and coordinates. We also collect basic usage data like page views and feature usage to understand how the product is used.

How we use it

Your data is used to run the service. Your email is for authentication and essential notifications. Your guide content is displayed on your public or unlisted guide pages. Usage data helps us fix bugs and improve the product. We don't sell your data. We don't use it for advertising. We don't build profiles to target you.

Third parties

We use a small number of third-party services to operate Favindex: hosting infrastructure, map tile providers, and basic analytics. These services process data only as needed to provide their function. We don't share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.

Cookies

We use cookies for authentication — keeping you logged in across sessions. We may use a simple analytics cookie to count visits. We don't use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

Your rights

You can export your guide data at any time. You can delete your account and all associated data. You can update your email and profile information from your account settings. If you're in the EU, you have additional rights under GDPR — contact us and we'll handle your request promptly.

Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect your data — encrypted connections, secure authentication, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to keep your information safe.
