Privacy

Last updated June 22, 2026

Around Aromas is a personal, non-commercial field guide. It is built to collect as little about you as possible: there are no accounts, no sign-ups, no forms, and no advertising.

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. The site has no login, asks for no personal information, and never sells or shares data, because it doesn't gather any to sell. We don't build a profile of you.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies and uses no cross-site trackers. Nothing is stored on your device to follow you between visits or across other websites.

Analytics

To understand which guides are useful and whether pages load quickly, the site uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights. Both are privacy-friendly and cookieless: they count page views and measure loading performance in aggregate, without cookies, without a persistent identifier, and without tracking you across other sites. There is no advertising and no profiling. See Vercel's privacy policy for details.

Third-party services

When a page loads, your browser contacts a few outside services that are needed to display it. As part of any normal web request, those services can see your IP address and browser type:

• Vercel: hosts the site; standard server logs (IP address, user agent) apply. Privacy policy.
• Google Fonts: the site's typefaces load from Google's font servers, so your browser sends a request (including your IP) to Google to fetch them. Privacy policy.
• Open-Meteo: the "things to do" guide reads the weather from Open-Meteo for a fixed point in Aromas (not your location; see below). Open-Meteo.com.
• Apple iTunes: on the concerts guide, 30-second song previews stream from Apple when you press play, so Apple receives the request at that moment. Previews are provided courtesy of iTunes.

Your location

The site never asks for your device location. The weather shown in the "things to do" guide is for Aromas specifically, using fixed coordinates, and it does not read where you are.

Children

Around Aromas is a general-audience guide and is not directed at children, and it knowingly collects no personal information from anyone.
