At The World Reference, we prioritize your privacy. This document outlines how we handle your data and our relationships with third-party partners.
Our tool uses your browser's Geolocation API to calculate distances relative to your position. We do not store, log, or transmit your location data to our servers. All calculations happen locally on your device (Client-Side) using JavaScript. Your coordinates are processed instantly for the purpose of the calculation and then discarded.
We use third-party vendors, including Google, which use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
The World Reference participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may get paid commissions on products purchased through our links to retailer sites (such as Booking.com, Expedia, or others). This comes at no extra cost to you and helps support the maintenance of this free tool.
Our site contains links to external sites (e.g., Wikipedia, Google Maps). We are not responsible for the privacy content or practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites.
We may use standard web analytics tools to track basic, anonymous traffic data (such as page views, country of origin, and browser type) to improve user experience. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
If you have questions about this policy, please contact us via the email listed on our About Page.
