Privacy & cookie policy
This page explains what data Where I Can Live (https://whereicanlive.com) collects, why, and the choices you have.
Who is responsible
The site is run by Omar Elharthi ("we"). Contact: contact@whereicanlive.com.
What we collect
We do not ask for your name, email or any account. The passport, priorities and filters you pick are stored only in your own browser (local storage) so the site remembers them. They are never sent to us.
Server logs. Our host, Hostinger, keeps standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, page requested, time) for security and to keep the site running. These are kept for a limited time and are not used to identify you.
Fonts, flags and data are served from our own server, so loading a page does not send your data to third parties.
Advertising
We show ads to keep the site free. Ads are provided by Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.
