If you use the "Along my route" feature, the start and destination coordinates you choose are transmitted to the public OSRM demo server (Project OSRM) to calculate the route. Use is voluntary and occurs only through your active input. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR (consent).
If you type a place name in the route feature, it is transmitted to the Nominatim service of the OpenStreetMap Foundation to determine coordinates (together with your IP address). Use is voluntary and occurs only through your active input. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.
The website stores your filter and route settings as well as your personal marks (visited, favourites, notes) exclusively locally in your browser (localStorage) so they persist between visits. This data never leaves your device and can be deleted at any time via your browser settings.
