WhereIsTheGoogleCar uses three services that process data when you visit this site:
- Cloudflare Workers hosts and serves this site, and processes your IP address, location, ISP, and connection metadata with every request
- Plausible Analytics collects anonymous, cookieless usage statistics (pages visited, referrer, device type)
- Google AdSense serves advertisements and may use cookies to personalize ads based on your browsing history
We do not sell or share any of this data. This site displays advertisements through Google AdSense to support its operation.
Cloudflare Workers
WhereIsTheGoogleCar is hosted on Cloudflare Workers, a serverless edge platform. Every request you make, including loading a page, fetching spotting data, or submitting a form, passes through Cloudflare's global network before reaching our application.
As part of serving each request, Cloudflare has access to the following information:
- IP address: your public IP address, used for routing and abuse protection
- Geographic data: country, city, region, postal code, approximate latitude/longitude, and timezone derived from your IP address
- Network data: your Autonomous System Number (ASN) and the name of the organization that owns it, which is typically your ISP or cloud provider
- Connection metadata: HTTP protocol version (HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3), TLS version, cipher suite, and round-trip time
- Request details: the URL and HTTP method of each request, and standard browser-sent headers such as
User-AgentandAccept-Language
These logs are retained for up to 7 days, after which they are automatically deleted.
This data may be reviewed by the webmaster through the Cloudflare dashboard. This could happen when investigating a failed submission, diagnosing a technical issue, or tracing abusive or malicious traffic. We do not routinely monitor this data and do not use it to identify or track individual visitors.
For full details on how Cloudflare handles end-user data, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
Plausible Analytics
Plausible is a privacy-first analytics tool. It does not use cookies, does not collect any personal information, and does not share data with third parties or advertising networks. We use it solely to understand aggregate traffic patterns, such as pages visited, referral sources, visit duration, and device type, so we can improve the site.
Individual visitors are never tracked or identified. For more information, see Plausible's Data Policy.

Sighting Submissions
When you submit a sighting through the website form, you provide content including a location, date, and a photo. We retain all original photo metadata, including EXIF data, and do not remove or modify it. We store this in our database for moderation. Submissions are not linked to any account, IP address, or personal identifier on our end. Approved submissions become part of the public sightings record.
