Privacy policy.
Last updated: October 20, 2026
At MyAreaData, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you:
- Contact us through our contact form
This includes your name, email address, and anything you write in your message. City searches and the City Matcher run in your browser and are not saved.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs of each request, which include:
- IP address
- Browser and operating system
- The page requested
- The referring website address
If a page fails to load properly, we also record the page address and browser type so we can fix the problem.
We also use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to see which pages are visited and how fast they load. These record the page, the referring site, your general location (country), and your browser, operating system and device type. They do not use cookies and do not identify you personally.
Anonymous Page View Counts
We keep a simple daily count of how many times each city, guide, state, comparison, ranking and map page is viewed, so we can show which places are most popular. Each count records only the page and the day. No IP address, cookie, account or other detail about you is stored with it, and automated visits from search engines and bots are not counted.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our website
- Improve the website and fix errors
- Respond to your messages
- Show which places are most popular, using the anonymous counts described above
- Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We do not currently use cookies or similar technologies to track you or to show ads. If that changes, we will update this policy first. You can always set your browser to refuse cookies or to tell you when one is being sent.
Third-Party Services
We use third-party services to help us operate and improve our website:
- Vercel - For website hosting, plus cookie-free visitor statistics (Web Analytics) and page speed measurement (Speed Insights)
- OpenFreeMap - For the street maps on our pages. Your browser loads map images directly from their servers, which see your IP address like any website you visit
These third parties have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them.
Data Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:
- The right to access your personal information
- The right to correct inaccurate information
- The right to request deletion of your information
To exercise these rights, please contact us at db@myareadata.com
Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
