Privacy
Your information is safe
In short
What you type and the photos you add stay on your own device. Everything is discarded as soon as your PDF is created. Only the route from the embassy to your district (transport, bus stand or station, bus or train names) is saved anonymously, to suggest routes to others. Never your address or name.
What stays on your device
Names, addresses, phone numbers, photos, maps and directions all stay in your browser's own storage (IndexedDB), so a page refresh does not lose your work. There are no accounts, no login and no cloud save.
What happens when you generate the PDF
When you press ‘Generate PDF’, each page's data and photos travel over a secure connection to our PDF function. The PDF is built in memory, sent straight back to you, and everything is discarded. No file, photo, address or log is written anywhere.
What we store (and nothing else)
- An anonymous count: when a PDF or PNG was made, how many pages, which language and theme, with a random browser ID that is not linked to any person.
- The anonymous route, only up to the district: after a download, just the way from the embassy to your district (CNG or Uber, the Dhaka bus stand or station, bus, train or launch and their names, and the district name). Never the way inside the district, your address, names, phone numbers, landmarks, photos or the map. A route is only suggested to others once at least 3 different browsers used it.
- Anonymous usage steps: which pages were opened, how far you got (e.g. whether the address was filled in or the house pinned) and whether an error happened. Only yes/no facts and the type of error, never what you typed. Used to find where the tool is hard to use. Deleted after 120 days.
- The ratings and comments you choose to post publicly. Please do not write phone numbers or addresses there.
- What you send with the ‘Send feedback’ form: the message (numbers, passport numbers and links are masked before it is stored), the page you sent it from, the language, the device type and the tool version. Your email only if you give it, and only to reply. None of this is public: only we read it, to improve the tool. To have your message deleted, ask through the same form and we will delete it.
None of these contains your address, names, phone numbers or photos. An email is kept only if you add one to your feedback yourself.
Other services we use
They only receive what they must, at the moment of use. We keep nothing.
- Map search and routing
- Your search text and coordinates pass through our server to the map service and back. Not logged, not cached.
- Map tiles (OpenFreeMap)
- Map images load like on any map website.
- AI translation (Claude API)
- Only when you press the button, after a one-time notice, and only the directions text is sent.
- Spam protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)
- Only when you post a review or send feedback, to check that you are human.
- Hosting and database (Vercel, Neon)
- To run the website, and to keep only the anonymous count, the anonymous routes to districts, public reviews and the private feedback you send.
How to clear the draft from your browser
On a shared or cyber-café computer, clear the draft when you are done. The button below removes all your text and photos from this browser. The ‘Clear everything’ button in the editor, or clearing this site's data in your browser settings, does the same.
To continue later, first use ‘Save draft file’ in the editor. The file stays on your own device.
For questions or a deletion request, write to us through the ‘Send feedback’ form, but please do not write any personal details.
