Privacy Policy

Overview

Mountain Landmarks Near Me ("we", "the app") is a browser-based tool that identifies nearby mountain summits using your device's GPS and compass. This page explains what data we handle and how third-party services on the site use cookies.

Location and sensor data

When you enable GPS or the compass, your browser shares latitude, longitude and device-orientation values with the app. This information is used only on your device to compute distances and bearings to nearby peaks. It is not transmitted to our servers, and we do not store it.

ZIP-code and address lookups

If you enter a ZIP code or address, the app may send that text to third-party geocoding services (Zippopotam.us and OpenStreetMap Nominatim) to resolve coordinates. Their usage is governed by their own privacy policies.

Cookies and local storage

The app uses your browser's local storage to cache ZIP lookups and remember your unit preference. No personal identifiers are stored.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info/choices. For details on how Google uses data when you use our site, see Google's partner-sites policy.

Children's privacy

The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
