Short version: we barely know you exist.

Saved venues, lineups, your theme choice, and small niceties like “don't show me that install banner again” are stored in your browser's local storage — on your device, readable only by this site. They never reach our servers, because there's no account to attach them to. Clear your browser data and they're gone (we can't recover them, because we never had them).

“Near Me” asks your browser for your location so we can sort venues by distance. That happens entirely on your phone: your coordinates are used in-page for the math and are never stored, logged, or transmitted anywhere. Decline the prompt and everything still works — you just sort by neighborhood instead.

We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to see which pages get visited and how fast they load. It's cookieless and aggregated: no cross-site tracking, no advertising identifiers, no profile of you. We see “the wings page was popular on Friday,” not “you looked at wings on Friday.”

Venue photos and data are served from our database host (Supabase) and delivery network (Vercel), which see the ordinary technical stuff any web server sees — IP addresses in transient logs. The map's basemap tiles load from a tile provider, which likewise sees standard tile requests.

If you submit a venue or email us a correction, we get exactly what you put in that email — typically your email address and what you wrote. We use it to follow up on the venue and for nothing else. Shared lineup links carry the lineup itself (stop names and times) encoded in the URL you chose to share; there's no tracking attached.

Questions, corrections, or want something deleted? Email hello@thelocalround.com and a human — the same one who scores the venues — will handle it.
