The short version: Mapper has no advertising and no profiling, and we never sell or share your data. The only analytics is Google Analytics, which runs only if you opt in on the consent banner — decline and nothing is sent to Google. Everything below is the detail.
Mapper (mapper.now) is a free flight-path mapping tool published by PNM Now. For any privacy question or request, contact andrew@kunesh.nyc. PNM Now is the data controller for the limited processing described here.
Mapper uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate usage (such as which pages are viewed and general device/browser type) so we can improve the tool. It runs only after you click "Accept" on the consent banner. Until then — and if you "Decline" — no Google script is loaded, no analytics cookies are set, and your browser never contacts Google at all.
If you opt in, Google Analytics sets cookies (e.g. _ga,
_ga_<id>) and sends pseudonymous usage data to Google LLC in the
United States. Google Analytics 4 does not log full IP addresses, and we have not
enabled any advertising or cross-site features. Legal basis: your consent,
which you can withdraw at any time via Cookie
settings (also in the site footer).
Mapper saves a functional preference in your browser's local storage
(mapper_showLegs, whether per-leg distances are shown) and your analytics
choice (mapper_consent). These stay on your device and don't identify you.
Google Analytics cookies are stored only if you opt in. You can clear all of it any time
by clearing your browser's site data.
When you build a route, the airport codes and approximate distances you entered are sent to our own server, which forwards them to Anthropic's API to estimate realistic flight times. Airport codes are not personal data and are not linked to you. Anthropic processes the request to return an estimate and does not use API inputs to train its models. If estimates are unavailable, Mapper falls back to a simple distance-based calculation and contacts no one.
The site is hosted on Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel may briefly process your IP address and request metadata in server logs to operate and secure the service (our legitimate interest). We don't use those logs to identify or profile visitors, and we keep no separate copy.
Our hosting (Vercel), AI provider (Anthropic), and — if you opt in — Google Analytics are based in the United States. Where applicable, transfers rely on their respective safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
We hold no user database. The on-device preference persists until you clear it. Host server logs are retained only for our provider's standard short period and then deleted.
If you're in the EEA or UK, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to, or port your personal data. Because we don't maintain accounts or a user database, we typically hold no personal data tied to you — but you can still reach us at andrew@kunesh.nyc, and you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
We'll post any changes here and update the date above.
