Privacy

Your preference points

The points you enter are saved in your own browser's local storage, so the odds stay set to your count when you come back. They aren't tied to your name or to any account. Clearing your browser's data for this site removes them. The site also sets a short-lived marker in session storage, so a return visit is counted only once per browser session.

Cookies

We don't set cookies, and we don't use advertising trackers.

Usage analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to see which pages get read. Vercel describes it as anonymous and free of third-party cookies. It tells visits apart using a hash made from the incoming request, and discards that hash after 24 hours. For each page view it may record:

• the time and the page address, including some filtered query parameters
• the site that referred you
• your approximate location: country, region and city
• your device type, operating system and browser

What we count on the page

We also record a few actions, to see whether the site is useful. Each sends only the details listed here:

• Setting your points: the species and point count, once you stop changing it.
• Returning with saved points: the species and point count, once per browser session.
• Running a draw: the page you ran it on and the license.
• Searching the area finder: the result you picked, or that nothing matched. What you type isn't sent.
• Signing up for alerts: the page you signed up on. Your email address isn't included.
• Clicking “Get listed”: the page it was clicked on.

Most content blockers stop analytics, and the site works the same without it.

Draw-season email alerts

Where the signup form appears, it asks for your email address and nothing else. We use it to send one email before nonresident elk applications close and one on the day draw results post.

The address is sent to Resend, the service that stores our mailing list and delivers the emails. We don't give it to outfitters, advertisers or anyone else.

Every alert includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing leaves your address on the list, marked so that it gets no more mail. To have it removed completely, email us. Otherwise we keep it until you ask us to remove it or we stop sending alerts.

Other services your browser or request reaches

• Hosting: Vercel hosts the site. Like any web host, it handles technical request data, such as your IP address, to serve pages and keep the site running.
• Map data: your browser fetches map pieces directly from OpenFreeMap, Amazon Web Services and, for satellite imagery, the U.S. Geological Survey. Those services receive your IP address, as with any web request.
• Outfitter sites: links to outfitters leave this site, and their own privacy practices apply from there.

If you email us

Mail to our address passes through an email forwarding service to our inbox. We use what you send to reply, and keep it as long as we need it for that. If you're an outfitter with a listing, the details on it (business, name, town, license number, description, link and any photo) are public on the site, as you'd expect.

Your choices

To ask what we hold about you, or to have it corrected or deleted, email hello@wyomingmap.com. Analytics records aren't tied to you, so we usually can't find or remove an individual's visits.

Children

The site is written for adults planning a hunt. It isn't aimed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their email addresses.

Changes

If what we collect changes, we'll update this page and its date.
