Privacy Policy

Summary

CityWalk Plan is a free city walking-itinerary planner, available as a website and as an Android app. You do not need an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, or other personal details to use it. This policy explains the limited data the service does and does not handle.

What we do not collect

We do not require registration or sign-in. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or precise device location. We do not show third-party ads or use advertising trackers.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how the service is used so we can improve it. This records anonymous usage events, an approximate location derived from your IP address (typically city or country level), and basic device and browser information. It is not linked to any personal identity. Google processes this data as our analytics provider.

Consent. Every page starts with Google Analytics storage turned off. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland — and whenever we cannot tell where you are — we ask first, and analytics cookies are set only if you choose Accept. Elsewhere, analytics cookies are used unless you choose Reject in Cookie settings. To decide which applies, the page asks our server for your country (taken from the network connection; it is not stored or logged). We never use advertising storage or personalisation.

While analytics is not allowed, Google Analytics can still receive cookieless pings (for example, that a page was viewed) without setting or reading analytics cookies; Google may use these to model aggregate statistics.

When a new itinerary is successfully generated, we also increment our own aggregate counter. It stores only the UTC date, catalog city, interface language, requested day count, and a random event ID that expires after 48 hours to prevent duplicate counting. It does not store the itinerary, places, coordinates, notes, cookies, or a user identity. A keyed, short-lived hash of the request IP is used only to limit abusive writes and expires after one hour.

For our public MCP server (used by AI assistants), we count how many times each tool is called per day. We store only the tool name and the count, not the request, its result, or anything about the client.

Shared itineraries

If you choose to use the Share feature, the itinerary you created is stored on our servers so the share link works. Shared itineraries are automatically and permanently deleted after 90 days. If you never tap Share, your itinerary stays only on your own device.

Partner links

Some links — for example to flights, hotels, tours, or tickets — are affiliate links. If you tap one, the partner may set its own cookies and process your activity under its own privacy policy. These optional links support the service at no extra cost to you, and you never have to use them.

On some guides we also load a small script from our hotel partner Stay22 (“Let Me Allez”) that keeps booking links working and attributes bookings. It stores a few identifiers in your browser’s local storage (such as sid22 and visitor_id_id22). It loads only under the same rule as analytics above; if you refuse, the hotel links still work as ordinary links.

The Android app

The Android app is a thin wrapper that displays the CityWalk Plan website. It requests no special device permissions, does not access your location, contacts, camera, or files, and contains no advertising or tracking SDKs beyond the anonymous analytics described above. It needs an internet connection because the place catalog is served online.

Children

CityWalk Plan is a general-audience travel tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Your choices

You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of any page, or here: Cookie settings. Choosing Reject turns analytics off, removes the Google Analytics cookies and the Stay22 identifiers from your browser, and reloads the page if needed. Your choice is remembered in your browser for up to 12 months.

Because we do not hold an account or personal profile for you, there is nothing to log in to or delete. You can also block analytics with your browser or an extension at any time, and the planner will still work.

Changes & contact

We may update this policy as the service evolves; the date above reflects the latest version. Questions about privacy can be sent to [email protected].
