Privacy

wayside.tours is the pre-launch website for Wayside, a self-guided audio walking tour app in development. Wayside is not yet incorporated; this notice will be updated with the operating company’s details when it is formed. Questions: privacy@wayside.tours.

This notice covers the website only. The Wayside app is not yet available; a full privacy policy covering the app will be published here before it launches.

What this website collects

Very little. It is a static site with no accounts and no advertising.

• No cookies. The site sets no first- or third-party cookies, which is why there is no cookie banner.
• Theme preference. If you switch light/dark mode, the choice is stored in your browser’s local storage (wayside-theme) so the site remembers it. It never leaves your browser and can be cleared in your browser settings.
• Analytics. We use Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool, to measure how the site is used: visits and basic interactions, such as which pages are viewed and whether a download button is tapped. It is cookieless and stores nothing on your device. It uses your IP address only momentarily to count the visit and does not keep it, it keeps no identifier that could single you out, it produces only aggregate statistics, and it does not track you across other websites. We rely on our legitimate interest in measuring and improving the site; because nothing is stored on your device, no consent or cookie banner is required.
• Interactive map on tour pages. Each tour page embeds a route-preview map whose tiles come from CARTO, using OpenStreetMap data, loaded when you scroll the map into view. As with any resource your browser fetches from another server, CARTO receives your IP address when the map loads. This delivers the map images only; it is not a tracker, sets no cookie, and stores nothing on your device. See CARTO’s privacy policy and the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy.
