Privacy

Without an account

• There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking cookies of our own.
• The site is hosted by Vercel, and its data service runs on Amazon Web Services. Like any web host, they keep short-lived request logs (such as IP address, browser and the page asked for) to run the service and keep it secure.
• "My location" in the distance filter uses your browser's location only inside your browser, to work out distances. It isn't sent to us or stored.
• If you search near an address, the address is sent to our data service and to the US Census Bureau's geocoder to find its coordinates. We don't store it, though the response for that address may be cached for up to a day.
• Pages load fonts from Google Fonts and the sign-in script from Clerk, so those services see your IP address and browser, under their own policies. Clerk may set cookies needed for sign-in.

With an account

Sign-in is handled by Clerk. When you sign in with Google, Clerk receives your name, email address and profile picture from Google, and nothing else: no access to your Gmail, contacts, calendar or files. Clerk keeps your account details; The Bird Feed's own database stores only:

• the Clerk ID for your account, and when you first and last signed in;
• the shows you save, rate (thumbs up or down) or mark as attended, with any note you add;
• reports you send about wrong listings, with their notes.

This is used only to show you your saved shows and, later, to recommend events. Reports are used to fix listings, and open reports, including their notes, are shown on the public Data page without saying who sent them. Nothing is sold or shared for advertising. Information received from Google is used in line with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Keeping and deleting

Your data is kept while you have an account. To delete your account and everything stored for it, or to ask what we hold about you, email morgan.bird@gmail.com. Deleting the account removes your saves, ratings, notes and reports from our database, and your account from Clerk.

Changes

If this policy changes, this page will be updated and its date changed. Questions go to the same address: morgan.bird@gmail.com.
