Privacy

BeniSnous is designed to answer location questions without building a profile of the visitor.

Privacy, in plain language

Your current location

Browser geolocation is requested only after you press “Use my location.” The coordinate is used to create the requested report and is not attached to an account or permanently stored as your location.

Search and server logs

The optional database records only aggregated, hashed search events and the resolved place—not raw IP-linked search histories. Ordinary hosting security logs may temporarily contain IP addresses. Retention is controlled by your hosting provider.

Saved places and history

Favorites are stored on this device only, including coordinates. History is off by default; when enabled, it keeps up to 20 named places for 30 days. Coordinate reports are excluded from history. No account or synchronization.

Cookies

Ordinary read-only visits do not start a PHP session. No advertising or analytics cookies are set by default.

External providers

A submitted place name or coordinate may be sent through the server to OpenStreetMap-related services, Open-Meteo or Wikimedia. Their own privacy terms apply.
