The short version
- No accounts, no logins, no newsletter.
- The yard finder runs in your browser. Your browser sends your address to outside map companies. They find the address and draw the map around it. We never receive your address.
- We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are read.
- Buy links are Amazon affiliate links, and Amazon sets its own cookies when you click one.
- We do not sell personal information.
The yard finder
Everything the finder does happens in your browser. Your phone or computer asks outside map companies for the pictures and ground heights the yard finder needs. So those services see your address, or your map position, and your IP address.
Which companies get asked depends on what you are doing at the time. Mapbox or OpenStreetMap Nominatim turn an address into a place on the map. Overpass, a service that shares OpenStreetMap data, sends your browser the shapes of buildings. A US government service sends ground heights, and Esri sends the satellite photos. Each has its own privacy policy.
We do not receive, log or store the address, the outline you draw, or the result.
Analytics
We run Google Analytics 4. It records page views and a rough location, down to the city. It also records your device and the page you came from, and it uses cookies. We only count visits on mowitrobot.com itself.
We use it to see which pages are useful. We do not use it to identify you, and we do not run advertising.
Affiliate links
Buy buttons send you to Amazon with a code that tells Amazon you came from us. Amazon sets cookies so it can credit a purchase to us. Amazon's privacy notice covers those cookies. This policy does not cover them. You pay the same price, and these links do not affect our ratings.
Hosting
Cloudflare hosts the site and delivers it. It sees basic details about your visit, your internet address included, so it can send the page and block attacks.
If you email us, we have your address and whatever you wrote. We keep it while it helps us answer you, then we delete it.
Your choices
You can block cookies, or use a browser extension that stops the Google Analytics code from running. The site still works with cookies and analytics blocked. You can ask what we hold about you, or have it deleted. Email hello@mowitrobot.com with that request.
Local law may give you further rights. In the UK and EU that is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In the US it may be a state privacy law. We will follow those laws. Use the same email address.
Children
We write this site for adults. It is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update the date below and post the new version here.
