Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Rate My Ride collects, uses, and protects user information. We prioritise the confidentiality of your data.

1. Local Data Processing

Our service functions as an interactive calculator. All calculations are performed directly in your browser:

• We do not collect, store, or transmit to third-party servers any technical parameters or route data you enter.
• To save settings (language preferences, form parameters), the browser's local storage (LocalStorage) is used.

2. Google AdSense Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the site.

• Google, as a third-party provider, uses cookies to display ads based on your previous visits to this or other sites. Learn more in Google advertising policies.
• The use of advertising cookies allows Google and its partners to show ads tailored to users' interests in accordance with Google Privacy Policy.
• You can turn off personalized ads in Google Ad Settings.
• You can learn more about how Google processes information on the Google Partner Policy page.
• European users can opt out of behavioral advertising using the Your Online Choices service.

3. Third-Party Services (Maps)

For mapping functionality, route building and trajectory calculation, the Leaflet library, OpenStreetMap data, and the OpenRouteService service are used. When interacting with the map or requesting a route, your browser sends technical requests (including your IP address and route point coordinates) to the servers of these providers.

CDN Services. Some static resources of the website (icon libraries, map-related CSS) are loaded via third-party CDN networks: Cloudflare (cdnjs.cloudflare.com) and unpkg (unpkg.com). When the page loads, your browser sends technical requests to the servers of these providers, which may include your IP address.

Cloudflare: All incoming traffic is routed through Cloudflare networks for protection against malicious attacks, bot filtering, and performance optimization. During routing, Cloudflare processes technical request metadata. Cloudflare Privacy Policy

Netlify: This website is hosted on Netlify, Inc. Their servers automatically log standard request data (including IP addresses and browser parameters) for operational purposes.Netlify Privacy Policy

5. EEA User Consent (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, the management of your consent to personal data processing is governed by Google's certified Consent Management Platform (CMP), which is displayed on your first visit to the site.
