Elsewhere keeps your discoveries local-first.
This page explains what Elsewhere uses when you search for nearby places, open directions, and save trip notes.
What Elsewhere uses
Elsewhere may use your current location or a typed starting place to search for nearby candidate destinations and route estimates. If you use live search or route validation, the starting area, destination query, coordinates, and routing request may be sent to a third-party map/search provider so the app can return results.
What stays on your device
Saved trip notes, mood fields, and coincidences are stored locally on your device or browser. There are no accounts, social feeds, cloud sync, or analytics.
What Elsewhere does not do
Elsewhere does not sell personal data, does not run ads, and does not share your private trip log with other users. Future features may change what data is needed, and this page should be updated before those features ship.
Data deletion requests
To request deletion of Elsewhere data controlled by the developer, email appsbylauren@gmail.com with the subject line "Elsewhere data deletion request." Elsewhere currently has no accounts and no cloud trip-log sync. Saved trip notes, mood fields, origins, and preferences are stored locally on your device or browser and can be deleted by clearing the app/browser data or uninstalling the app. If you have sent support or feedback by email, you can ask us to delete those messages unless retention is required for legal, security, or support-record reasons.
Elsewhere tries to favor reachable, public-feeling destinations, but map data can be incomplete or wrong. Users are responsible for obeying signs, road rules, property boundaries, weather warnings, and local conditions. For support or privacy questions, email appsbylauren@gmail.com.
