What WillowMap stores

WillowMap is a single-user app. Your maps and pins are stored in our database and identified by a server-issued cookie. We do not ask for an email, name, or password.

Your browser also keeps a local list of recent search and AI queries (under willowmap:history:v1 in localStorage) so you can re-run them quickly. Entries older than 90 days are pruned automatically the next time the app loads, and you can clear the list at any time from the recent-queries panel.

Third parties contacted on page load

  • Vercel hosts the app. Standard request logs (IP, user agent, path) are kept for operational purposes.
  • OpenFreeMap serves the base map tiles. Tile requests are made directly from your browser; no API key is required.
  • Google Maps Platform (Places)powers search, autocomplete, and place details. All Places traffic is proxied through WillowMap's own server (/api/places/*) — your browser does not contact googleapis.com directly, and no Google API key is exposed to the client. Reverse-geocode calls round the viewport center to ~110 m before they leave your device.
  • Anthropic handles AI search. Your prompt is sent server-side from WillowMap; we do not pass identifiers.

Fonts and icons

Material Symbols (the icon font) and Inter (the UI font) are self-hosted from WillowMap's own origin. Your browser does not contact fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com.

Cookies

WillowMap uses one HTTP-only cookie to keep your maps editable across sessions on the same browser. We do not run analytics or advertising cookies.
