Website privacy policy

Last updated: October 23, 2026

How this website handles request data and browser preferences.

1. Scope

This policy covers the OpenMapX website at openmapx.org. The application at openmapx.com has a separate privacy policy covering accounts, saved places, location use, and data providers. Other OpenMapX instances are operated independently and have their own privacy notices.

Following a link to GitHub, the documentation, the map application, or another website takes you to a separate service. Its operator and privacy policy apply there.

2. Controller and contact

The controller responsible for this website is:

Florian Rachmann
Bergstr. 25
52062 Aachen, Germany
Email: privacy@openmapx.org

We are not required to designate a data protection officer for this website. Send data-protection questions or requests to the address above.

3. Request data and hosting

This is a static website. Serving it involves processing your IP address and request details, such as the time, requested URL, referrer when supplied, and browser user-agent. Request logs help operate the site and investigate errors or abuse. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: our legitimate interest in providing and securing the website.

We delete request logs after 30 days.

4. Browser storage and assets

The site uses local storage for functional preferences, including your light or dark theme choice. You can remove these preferences by clearing this site's browser data. This website does not offer user accounts or store the places you save in the OpenMapX application.

Fonts, scripts, and images are served with the site. We do not load third-party analytics or advertising scripts, set analytics or advertising cookies, or build advertising profiles from visits to this website.

5. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or receive a portable copy of your personal data, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. These rights apply subject to the conditions in the GDPR. You also have the right to complain to a data-protection supervisory authority.

Contact privacy@openmapx.org to make a request about this website. For data held by an OpenMapX application instance, contact that instance's operator using its privacy notice.

6. Security and changes

We use technical and organizational measures to protect the website and request data. No internet service can guarantee complete security.

When this policy changes, we update the date shown above.
