Privacy

Short version: no accounts, no cookies, no tracking across other sites, and nothing that identifies you personally. Last updated 9 November 2026.

What we collect

• Which venues appear in plans, and which ones get swapped away or kept when a plan is shared or routed. These counts are tied to a venue and an area, never to you, and they help better places come up more often.
• Visit statistics from Cloudflare Web Analytics, such as page views and which country visits come from. It doesn’t use cookies or follow you across sites.

What stays on your device

Your last area, preferred layout and the venues you’ve seen recently (so plans don’t repeat) are saved in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device, and clearing your browser data removes them.

Other services

• Cloudflare hosts the site. Like any web host it processes your IP address to deliver pages and to stop abuse. We don’t store it.
• OpenStreetMap serves the map images, so their servers see a request from your browser.
• Google Maps opens only when you tap Maps or Route. From then on, Google’s privacy policy applies.
• Google Fonts provides the typefaces.

Shared plans

A plan’s details live in its link. Anyone you send the link to can see the plan, and nothing else.

Your rights and contact

Because we don’t hold personal data about you, there’s usually nothing to access or delete. For any question or request, email hello@getowlabout.com. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
