Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2026

This policy describes how PhotoBlinks ("we", "us") handles data when you use this website. It covers what the site actually does today — it does not describe features that aren't available yet.

Information We Collect

Browsing PhotoBlinks doesn't require creating an account or providing any personal information. We don't currently offer sign-in, user accounts, reviews, or any way to submit personal data through the site.

The site does process a small amount of information automatically:

  • Standard web traffic data — like any website, our hosting infrastructure processes basic request information (such as IP address and browser type) needed to serve pages.
  • Location, only if you choose to share it — some pages offer a "My Location" option to sort results by distance. This uses your browser's own location permission prompt; we only receive your coordinates if you actively enable it, and we don't store them.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used (for example, which pages are visited). Google Analytics sets its own cookies and processes data according to Google's Privacy Policy.

Embedded Third-Party Content

Location pages may include content hosted by other providers:

  • Mapbox — some pages show an embedded map. See Mapbox's Privacy Policy.
  • YouTube — where a location has a video, we embed it directly from YouTube. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Maps — the "Go to Location" button links out to Google Maps for directions. This opens Google's own site and is covered by Google's Privacy Policy, not this one.

These providers may set their own cookies or collect data when their embedded content loads, independently of PhotoBlinks.

What We Don't Currently Collect

We don't currently offer Google Sign-In or any other sign-in method, user accounts, reviews or ratings, or payment processing — so no data related to any of these is collected, because these features don't exist on the site yet. If that changes, this policy will be updated to reflect it.

Admin Access

PhotoBlinks has a private admin area used by our team to manage location listings, which requires a sign-in. This is not available to the public and doesn't involve visitor data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site changes. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do.
