Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to provide and improve FyndFinder.

Account Information

When creating an account, we may collect:

• Email address
• Username or display name
• Password (stored securely in encrypted or hashed form)

User Content

If you choose to use platform features, we may store:

• Uploaded images
• Location descriptions
• Contact information you choose to publish
• Created routes
• Favorites and saved content

Local Storage

If you interact with location-based features, FyndFinder may store your selected position locally in your browser using local storage. This information stays on your device and is not shared with third parties.

We also use local storage to improve user experience by preventing duplicate actions, such as ensuring that a location or route is only counted as viewed once per browser.

This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to third parties. It is used only for functional purposes within the platform.

This functionality is explained to users when selecting a position or interacting with location features.

2. Cookies

FyndFinder uses a very limited number of cookies.

Session Cookie

When you log into your account, we use a session cookie to keep you authenticated and securely signed in while using the platform.

Language Cookie

If you use localization or language settings, we store your selected language preference in a cookie so the platform can remember your choice.

FyndFinder does not use advertising cookies or sell personal data to advertisers.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide and maintain the platform

• Store favorites and created routes
• Display uploaded content
• Improve platform functionality and security
• Respond to reports or abuse cases

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

FyndFinder does not sell personal information and does not hand over personal information to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

We only share information when:

• Required by law
• Necessary to protect the platform or users
• Needed to investigate fraud, abuse, or illegal activity

Some technical infrastructure providers may process data on our behalf strictly for hosting, storage, or security purposes.

5. Password Security

FyndFinder takes account security seriously.

Passwords are never stored in plain text. Passwords are securely hashed or encrypted using industry-standard security practices.

While we work to protect user data, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to:

• Provide the service
• Maintain platform integrity and security

• Request deletion of your information
• Object to certain processing activities
• Request a copy of your stored data

Requests may be subject to identity verification and legal limitations.

8. Children’s Privacy

FyndFinder is not intended for children under the age required by applicable law to create online accounts without parental consent.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child unlawfully, we may remove that information.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as FyndFinder evolves or legal requirements change.

The latest version will always be available on the platform.
