Privacy Policy
How WildlifeChase handles your data: no accounts, no tracking cookies, location used only in your browser.
The short version
WildlifeChase has no user accounts, no sign-up forms, no advertising trackers and no tracking cookies.
Location
Features like "Near me", "Distance from my location" and "Use my location" ask your browser for your position. The calculation happens entirely in your browser; your location is not sent to our servers or stored.
Local storage
We store your light/dark theme preference in your browser's local storage. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings.
Third-party services
To draw maps and forecasts, your browser loads resources directly from third parties, which receive standard request information (such as your IP address) under their own privacy policies:
- Map tiles: USGS The National Map, Esri (ArcGIS Online), OpenStreetMap
- Weather forecasts: National Weather Service (api.weather.gov) — the forecast request includes the coordinates of the place you're viewing, not your own location
- Map library: cdnjs (Cloudflare); fonts: Google Fonts
Server logs
Our hosting provider may keep standard, short-lived server logs (IP address, pages requested) for security and reliability.
