Privacy

What we collect

Browsing WHERE needs no account. If you sign in we store your email address, the sign-in methods you have linked, and your sessions. If you submit or report something we store what you sent and which account sent it.

Technical data

We keep request logs, including IP addresses, for up to 90 days to fight abuse and enforce rate limits, then keep only a hashed form. Devices using the apps are identified by a hardware-backed key, never by an advertising identifier.

Cookies

Sign-in cookies keep you signed in, and where_region remembers which country's listings you want. After a new website account signs in for the first time, a private signup receipt cookie lasts for up to 15 minutes and is removed when checked.

App recommendations

WHERE uses Swapply to recommend other apps. Your browser loads its widget and recommendations from swapply.app. Swapply can store a dismissal preference and cache recommendations in your browser. If you arrive with a Swapply referral identifier, Swapply's attribution script can remember it locally for seven days. After a verified new website signup, its conversion script can report that anonymous referral identifier and WHERE's widget key to Swapply. These tags do not include your WHERE account identifier, email or sign-in details. Browser storage or network restrictions may prevent attribution.

Browser extension drafts and viewing tips

When you choose to save a source link, the WHERE extension reads the current tab's URL and lets you edit it and add a note. One draft stays in extension storage on this browser until you discard it or remove the extension. Page contents aren't read, and the draft isn't uploaded, submitted or connected to your WHERE account. Opening the guide or your account visits WHERE as a normal browser page. With permission to access where.my, the extension can ask an open WHERE tab to check your current sign-in and whether your account is active. The check stays on WHERE and returns no email, account identifier or login token. This status is not saved in extension storage. Sign in on WHERE and keep its tab open to use the check.

If you choose Capture selected text on an allowed source, the extension reads only your selected public text and the page title and URL. A separate viewing-tip draft stays on this browser until you discard it or remove the extension. You can edit the excerpt and choose its game, country and channels before explicitly sending. Sending uses your signed-in WHERE account and stores the source reference, excerpt and optional note privately with your submission for moderation. It does not publish games or viewing claims automatically. A saved request and receipt support safe retries after a lost response. Discarding the browser copy does not remove a submitted tip; use My submissions or contact us for your account data.
