Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you visit LatLng Hut (latlnghut.top), who processes it and what choices you have. LatLng Hut is a small independent website that offers free online tools. It has no user accounts, no registration and no newsletter.
1. Summary
- We do not ask for your name, email address or any other contact details to use the tools.
- Coordinate conversion and distance calculations run locally in your browser. Address search and address lookup use the online services described below.
- Some features need an online service to work (place search and address lookup, map tiles); what is sent and why is explained in section 2.
- The site is hosted on Cloudflare and shows ads served by Google AdSense, which uses cookies as described in section 5.
2. How our tools handle your data
Coordinate conversion and distance calculations run locally in your browser. Address search and address lookup use the online services described below.
Place search and address lookup: When you search for a place, click the map or use "My Location", the search text or the selected coordinates are sent to our own endpoint (/api/geocode, running on Cloudflare), which forwards the request to the OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding service and returns the result, such as the nearest address. We do not store these queries. Nominatim is operated by the OpenStreetMap Foundation; see the OSMF Privacy Policy.
Map tiles: The map images are loaded by your browser directly from OpenStreetMap tile servers (tile.openstreetmap.org). Like any web request, this reveals your IP address and the map area being viewed to those servers.
Location: the "My Location" button asks your browser for permission to read your device location. If you allow it, the coordinates are used to place the marker on the map and, like a map click, are sent through our geocode endpoint to Nominatim to look up the nearest address. We do not store your location.
3. Code and content loaded from third parties
To run the tools, your browser downloads open-source libraries from the following content delivery networks. These requests contain standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the page that requested the file, but not the content you work with:
unpkg.com– the Leaflet map library and its stylesheet
4. Cookies and local storage
We use a small number of cookies and browser storage entries:
cf_countrycookie – set by our hosting layer on each visit. It contains only a two-letter country code that Cloudflare derives from your IP address (for exampleUS) and is used to choose the default interface language (English or Chinese). It expires after 1 day and is not used for advertising or tracking.lang(browser local storage) – remembers the interface language you selected (English or Chinese). It stays in your browser and is never sent to our servers.- Advertising cookies – set by Google and its partners when ads are shown; see section 5.
You can delete cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings (usually under "Clear browsing data" or the site settings). The tools keep working if you block them; the interface may simply fall back to English and forget your preferences.
5. Advertising (Google AdSense)
LatLng Hut is free to use because it displays ads served by Google AdSense. In connection with these ads:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or 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. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
- If you opt out you will still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you. Non-personalized ads may still use cookies for frequency capping, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention.
To learn how Google collects and uses information when you visit sites that show its ads, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Google's own practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
6. Consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland
Where the law requires it, including for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we ask for your consent through a consent message before cookies are used for personalized advertising. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the privacy or cookie settings link provided by that message, or by clearing your cookies. If you do not consent, Google may show non-personalized or limited ads instead.
7. Hosting and server logs
This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver pages, keep the site secure and protect it against abuse, Cloudflare processes technical data for every request, such as your IP address, the requested URL, your browser's user agent, the referring page and the time of the request. We do not add separate analytics or tracking scripts to our pages; we may look at aggregated traffic statistics that Cloudflare provides. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for details.
8. Data retention and security
We do not keep a database of visitors, and we do not store the files, text or values you use in the tools. Requests handled by our own server endpoints are processed in memory to produce a response and are not saved by us. Cloudflare and Google keep the data they process according to their own policies. All pages are served over encrypted HTTPS connections.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or US state privacy laws such as the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not run accounts or collect contact details through the tools, we usually hold no personal data that identifies you. For data processed by Google or Cloudflare you can use the controls those companies provide, and you can always contact us with a request or question.
10. Children's privacy
LatLng Hut is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA and the UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the site, its tools or the services it relies on change. The effective date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised, and significant changes will be highlighted here.
