Privacy

Short version: you can use this website without an account. We do not sell your data. Pages show ads from Google AdSense, which uses cookies.

Your location

If you tap “lakes near me”, your browser asks for permission and gives your position to the page only. It is used to move the map and never leaves your device.

What your browser loads

Pages, lake data and pictures are plain files from our static host. The background map is loaded from OpenFreeMap and the map code from the jsDelivr CDN; like any web server they see your IP address to send the files. We do not run our own analytics.

Advertising

LakeScope pages show ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising. Where the law requires it (EEA, UK, Switzerland, some US states) a consent message appears first. See also our cookies page.

Places to stay

Trip pages can show places to stay from our booking partner Stay22, which may use cookies to credit a booking.

The app

The LakeScope app has its own privacy policy, shown in the app and in the Google Play listing.
