What this site does not collect
People look things up on a map like this one about their own street, their own school, their own family. That should not be a record anyone can pull. This site is therefore built to know as little about you as possible, and to leak nothing to anyone else.
There is nothing to log in to
No accounts, no sign-ups, no email addresses. No cookies are set. No local storage is written. Nothing you do here is tied to a return visit.
No analytics, no third parties
There is no analytics script, no tag manager, no advertising pixel, no embedded video, no social widget, no hosted font. The page loads nothing from anyone but this server - and the browser is told to enforce that, with a Content-Security-Policy of connect-src 'self'.
The map tiles come through this server
A map normally fetches its tiles straight from a tile company, which then sees your IP address and, from the tiles you request, roughly where you were looking. Here every tile, font and label is fetched by this server and passed on to you. The upstream basemap sees this server and nothing else.
Searching for your area
If you type an address, it is sent to this server, which forwards the text of it to a public geocoder - the US Census Bureau's geocoder for street addresses, OpenStreetMap's Nominatim for place names. Those services see the address but never your IP address, and the query is not written to any log or database here. It is held in memory briefly so that repeated searches do not need a second lookup.
If you use my current location instead, your coordinates stay in your browser. They are not sent to this server at all: the distance filtering runs on your own device, against data already downloaded.
Nothing sensitive goes in the URL
The address bar carries only which event is open and which filters are on, so a shared link reveals nothing about where you are. Your location and your searches are never put in the URL, where they would end up in browser history and server logs.
Following a source link
Citation links carry Referrer-Policy: no-referrer, so the site you land on is not told that you came from here, or which entry you were reading.
What this site still cannot promise
Being honest about the limits: any web server, and any network provider between you and it, can see the IP address a request came from. This application writes no request logs and stores nothing about visitors, but whoever hosts it may keep its own infrastructure logs, and that is outside the application's control.
If you need stronger protection than that - because of who you are, where you work, or who you live among - use the Tor Browser or a VPN you trust. Nothing on this site is harder to use that way: there is no login to fail, and no bot check to pass.
