WHATBAHT?

Privacy Policy

Information used by the calculator

WhatBaht processes the pickup, destination, city, and optional device location you provide to estimate a route and fare. Device location is requested only after you tap the location button. Recent trips are stored locally in your browser and are not used to create an account or advertising profile.

External services

Route requests may use OpenStreetMap Nominatim and OSRM. Things to Do photos are requested from Wikimedia projects, and a place's OpenStreetMap preview loads when you open its details. These providers may receive technical request information such as an IP address and referring site under their own policies. Selecting Google Maps takes you to Google with the public place name and region; WhatBaht does not include your device location in this link. This view does not request Google Places photos or preload map tiles for the listings.

Storage and retention

Repeated place searches may reuse a shared server cache of up to 1,000 public geocoding responses for seven days, or ten minutes for empty results. Cache keys are hashes of the bounded search request; cached public place labels and coordinates are not linked to a visitor, device location, account or trip history. Expired entries are not reused and are removed during subsequent cache writes. Avoid entering confidential information in place searches. Automatic searches share one application-wide provider gate; when it is busy or unavailable, you can enter a verified road distance manually.

To speed up repeat visits, your browser may retain up to 80 verified Wikimedia photo records, including their creator, source, license and credit, and up to 32 licensed images of at most 2 MB each. Metadata is reverified after seven days; image reuse expires after seven days or the source's shorter freshness limit. Storage may be unavailable, evicted by your browser, or cleared by you. This photo cache stays on your device and is not a visitor-viewing history sent to WhatBaht.

The existing separate Google photo service retains place IDs and aggregate monthly usage counts to enforce its allowance. It is not used by this Things to Do view. Google image bytes and photo references are not retained. WhatBaht does not store precise visitor locations or a history of which visitor viewed which listing.

Your choices

You can decline location permission and use the city-center distance or enter route details manually. You can clear locally saved recent trips and cached photo data through your browser's site-data controls. If photos or an embedded map cannot load, the guide still shows category artwork, place information, coordinates and a link to the full map.
