Privacy Policy

WhichPhase is designed to be a practical utility site, not a personal data collection platform. This page explains what information may be used, what may be stored locally on your device, how trip-planning features may function, and how third-party technologies may interact with your visit.

Information WhichPhase Does Not Directly Collect

WhichPhase does not require account creation, usernames, passwords, or direct submission of personally identifiable information to use its core features. We do not intentionally collect personal identity data such as your name, mailing address, or financial details through normal site use.

Location Permissions

If you choose to allow location access, your browser or device may provide approximate or precise geographic data so WhichPhase can calculate weather, moon phase, sun timing, elevation, and related planning information for your area.

Location access is optional and can typically be disabled through your browser or device settings.

Local Device Storage

WhichPhase may store certain preferences locally on your device, such as:

This local storage is generally used to improve user experience and may remain on your device until cleared by you.

Because WhichPhase prioritizes privacy, speed, and account-free convenience, saved trips, locations, planner settings, and preferences stored locally on your device may not automatically transfer between browsers or devices.

Clearing browser cache, local storage, or site data may erase saved trips, saved locations, planner settings, and related preferences.

Trip Sharing

WhichPhase may allow users to share trip-planning information through user-initiated sharing tools, including editable or read-only sharing options where available.

Shared trip information is generally created and controlled by user action rather than by personal account infrastructure. Users should use discretion when sharing destination or planning details with others.

Cookies & Third-Party Technologies

WhichPhase may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies directly or through third-party providers for functionality, analytics, trip-planning convenience, or advertising.

Third-party services, including advertising partners such as Google AdSense or analytics providers, may collect information such as:

These technologies may be used to improve services, analyze traffic, or display relevant advertising.

Advertising

WhichPhase may display advertising from third-party advertising networks. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to personalize ads or measure ad performance based on user activity across websites.

You can learn more about Google’s advertising policies and controls through Google’s own privacy and ad settings resources.

Affiliate Links

Some pages may contain affiliate links to relevant products or services. If users choose to interact with these links, third-party providers may apply their own tracking or privacy policies.

Affiliate participation does not increase product cost to users unless explicitly stated.

Data Accuracy & External Services

WhichPhase may rely on public or third-party data systems for weather forecasts, moon and light calculations, geolocation, alerts, trip-planning tools, and elevation or snow-related estimates.

While WhichPhase aims to provide useful planning tools, data may vary, change rapidly, or contain inaccuracies due to forecasting limitations, technical issues, or source-system changes.

Your Control

Users can typically control cookies, local storage, location permissions, and related browser settings through their own browser or device privacy controls.

If you prefer not to share location, store trips, save planner settings, or retain site preferences, you may disable those permissions or manually clear browser data.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically as WhichPhase evolves, adds features, expands trip-planning tools, adjusts sharing functionality, or changes advertising and technology providers.

Continued use of the site may indicate acceptance of updated policies.
