departure.day is a small interactive web experience. This page explains what information is stored or shared when you use it.
What you provide
If you create a message, we receive the name, recipient name, and message you submit. Shared messages are stored with a short code so the recipient can open them. Website suggestions may include a URL, tags, an optional description, and your email address.
Local storage and location
We use browser storage to remember functional preferences, cache the visitor's weather location, keep local previews when the API is unavailable, and remember your privacy choice. If you allow location access, coordinates are used to request local weather and sunrise or sunset information and are kept in your browser cache.
When you submit a message or website suggestion, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that the request comes from a person rather than an automated bot. Cloudflare may process technical browser and network signals for this security check.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is loaded only after you choose “Allow analytics”. It helps us understand visits and improve the experience using page views, general interactions, browser and device information, referrer information, approximate location, and performance diagnostics. We do not send message contents, names, email addresses, submitted website URLs, or precise location coordinates to Google Analytics. Advertising features are not enabled.
Google may process Analytics data on its own systems. More information is available in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
