Privacy without guesswork.
Last updated: August 11, 2026
No account is required. Shady Way does not create a behavioral profile, sell personal data, or store trip history in an application database.
Information used to plan a trip
You may enter an origin, destination and departure time. If you tap “Use current location,” the app requests foreground location access and uses that coordinate once as the origin. Manual search remains available if you deny permission.
Place queries and trip coordinates are sent through Shady Way’s stateless planning service to calculate suggestions, a road route and forecast context. Request bodies and coordinates are not intentionally written to application logs or retained as trip history.
Service providers
- Mapbox processes place searches, map display and road routes. Mapbox privacy policy.
- Open-Meteo processes sampled route coordinates and times when forecast context is available. Open-Meteo terms and privacy information.
- Vercel hosts the web app and stateless API and may process standard network metadata needed to operate and secure the service. Vercel privacy policy.
Operational data
The service may use short-lived rate-limit counters and sanitized operational events such as endpoint status, latency and provider error class. Shady Way does not intentionally attach trip coordinates or search text to these events and does not use behavioral advertising analytics.
On-device data
Your selected language, visual theme and accessibility preferences may be stored locally on your device. You can remove them by clearing site data or deleting the app.
Sharing and deletion
A shared trip link contains the coordinates, departure time and relevant preferences needed to reproduce the plan. Share it only with people you trust. Shady Way has no account or server-side trip-history database to delete; local preferences can be removed as described above.
Children and changes
Shady Way is a general travel utility and is not directed to children under 13. Material policy changes will be published on this page with a new effective date.
