Privacy

The short version: your identity is a random ID in a single cookie, plus the log you build. We count visits with our own analytics, running on our own server — no third party, no cookies, nothing that follows you anywhere else. No ads, no selling or sharing of data.

What we store

• A random visitor ID, kept in one first-party cookie (ppid) on your device. It’s strictly necessary to run the log you asked for, which is why there’s no cookie banner.
• Pages with forms also set a standard security cookie (csrftoken) that protects them from cross-site forgery. It identifies no one and tracks nothing.
• Your log: which experience, and when.
• Optionally, later, an email address — only if you attach one for account recovery. Never for marketing. You must be a legal adult where you live to attach an email.
• Correction reports you send us, with an optional email if you include one.
• If you log experiences while offline, those entries wait in your browser’s local storage until you’re back online, then sync and clear.

Counting visits

We use Umami to count visits. It runs on our own server, not a third party’s — nobody else receives your data, and it is never combined with anything from another site.

It records the page you looked at, roughly where in the world you are (country level, worked out from your network address and then discarded), and what kind of device and browser you used. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data, which is why there is still no cookie banner. It cannot tell who you are, and it is not connected to your log or your email.

We look at it to work out which parks to add next, in the places people are actually using this. If your browser blocks analytics, nothing on the site breaks.

Showing where you are

The map can show where you are. Your device works that out and your browser draws it — ParkPercent never receives it, never stores it, and it never touches your log or our analytics.

Your browser may ask Apple or Google to turn nearby Wi-Fi into a position. That’s between you and your browser; we’re not in that conversation.

Photos you submit

If you send us a photo of an experience, we store the image, the name you asked to be credited as, an email address, and the random visitor identifier your device already has (the same ppid cookie described above). If you have no cookie yet, no identifier is recorded with the submission.

We strip the hidden data your camera attaches before we save the photo. Photos can carry the location they were taken and details about the device that took them — none of that survives in what we keep. Whatever we receive while handling your upload is discarded as soon as the request ends.

You keep the copyright to your photo. You’re letting us show it on ParkPercent, credited to you. We do not license it to anyone else and we do not sell it, and you can ask us to take it down any time — send us a report naming the photo and we will remove it.

Your rights

• export: download everything we have about you as JSON, any time, from your data page.
• delete: erase everything we have about you — your log, any email attached to your account, any photo you’ve submitted, and the identifier tying it all together — permanently, from the same page. No grace period, no soft delete.

These pages satisfy access, portability, and erasure rights under the GDPR and California’s CCPA/CPRA without needing to email anyone — but you can also reach us for any privacy request.

Children

ParkPercent is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. There is deliberately no age question and no child account type: a parent or guardian tracks the family’s park day on their own device. If you believe a child has provided personal information, send us a report and we will delete it.

California notice

Categories collected: a random identifier and usage data (the log) you create; optionally an email you provide; and aggregate visit counts, described under Counting visits above, which identify no one. We do not sell or share personal information. We have no advertising partners, and our analytics run on our own server rather than a third party’s.
