Privacy
Swellight is built to be used without leaving a trace: no accounts, no ads and no cookies of our own.
Your surf profile
Your level, board and goal are saved only in your browser. They never reach our server. They are removed when you clear this site's data in your browser.
Your location
It is used only if you tap “Beaches near me”, to centre the map in your browser; it is not stored. When you use search, the approximate area of the map you are looking at (about 10 km precision) is sent to order the results; that is not stored either.
The suggestion box
If you write to us, we store your message, the date, the language, the beach you wrote from and your email if you choose to give it. It is used only to read it and, if you gave an email, to reply. To have it deleted, write to us through the same box with the email you gave.
Technical logs
The site is served through Cloudflare, which sees your IP address and may use a technical anti-bot cookie. Our server uses your IP for a few minutes, in memory, to limit abuse, and does not store it. If something breaks, an error report is sent to Sentry without personal data.
Other services
Map images are requested by your browser from OpenFreeMap. Wave data (Open-Meteo) and beach data (OpenStreetMap) are fetched by our server, not by you.
