Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 16, 2026
This privacy policy explains how Waypoint Navigator ("we", "us", or "the site") handles information when you use the website at waypointnavigator.live and the web application hosted on it. Our guiding principle is simple: a navigation tool should not collect more than it needs, and your location belongs to you.
Location data
The navigation tool uses your device's location through your browser's standard Geolocation API, only after you grant permission. This location data is processed entirely on your device to calculate bearings, distances, speed, and your position on the map. We do not transmit, collect, or store your location on our servers.
Data stored on your device
Waypoints, routes, unit preferences, and other settings you create are saved in your browser's local storage on your own device. This information is not sent to us. You can export it or remove it at any time by clearing the site's data in your browser settings.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate, anonymous usage of the site, such as which pages are visited and general device types. This helps us improve the product. Analytics does not include your navigation coordinates or saved routes.
Advertising and cookies
The informational pages of this website (such as the home page, guide, FAQ, and about pages) display advertising provided by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
The navigation tool screen itself does not display advertising.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
