1. Website storage
The website uses necessary local storage to remember cookie choices and support basic operation. It currently does not use optional analytics or marketing cookies.
2. Mobile-app storage
The mobile app stores necessary session, cache, preference and private feature data on the device so sign-in, saved state, search preferences and performance features can work.
3. Authentication and purchases
Firebase Authentication may retain session information. Apple, Google and RevenueCat may store purchase, receipt and entitlement information needed to provide Founding Supporter status, restore eligible purchases and redeem paid 7-day sponsored placements.
4. Caching
Instructor, review and map-related information may be cached temporarily to improve speed and reduce network and database usage. Cached information can be refreshed or cleared.
5. Optional analytics
The service does not currently use optional website analytics or targeted advertising. If optional analytics, marketing cookies or similar tracking are introduced, this notice and the consent choices will be updated where required.
6. Managing storage
Use the Cookie settings button on the website to view available choices. You can also clear browser or app storage through device settings. Clearing storage may sign you out, remove cached profiles or pending local purchase state and reset preferences. Account-held favourites and blocked-reviewer settings remain until changed or the account is deleted.
