Privacy

The posh checker and the area pages work without an account. The map and the area finder need a free account, so that what you save follows you between devices.

Your account

You sign in with Google. Google tells us your name, email address and profile picture, and nothing else (not your contacts, files or password). We keep them, plus the areas and searches you save and any notes you add, so they appear on every device you use.

On your first sign-in we ask whether you'd like emails about new features and London area insights, at most one a week. The box starts unticked. We record what you chose, the wording you saw and when, so we can prove it. We never sell or share your details.

Cookies

We only use cookies the site needs to work, so there's no cookie banner:

• pm_session: keeps you signed in for up to 60 days. Removed when you sign out.
• pm_oauth: lasts 10 minutes while you sign in, to check the reply really came from Google.

Your saves and display settings are also kept in your browser's own storage, which never leaves your device. We count how features are used (for example “a search was run”) without cookies and without anything that identifies you.

Deleting your data

On your account page you can change your email choice, download everything we hold about you, sign out of every device, or delete your account. Deleting erases your account, saves, notes and email choices straight away.
