Privacy Policy
The short version: Trip Under has no accounts and no logins. We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to see how the site is used, never for advertising, and you can turn them off for your browser at any time. The rest of this page is the detail.
Last updated 10 November 2026
What Trip Under does not do
- No user accounts, sign-ups or logins anywhere on the site.
- No payment or booking is ever processed on Trip Under — every "book it" link sends you to the actual operator's own site, where their privacy policy applies, not this one.
- No data is sold to anyone, ever.
- Your trip planner settings (party size, dates, budget) run entirely in your browser and are never sent to or stored on any Trip Under server.
What is collected
Analytics. On tripunder.com, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load when you open a page. If you turn analytics off with Analytics choices, neither is loaded again in that browser, so neither receives anything from this site. For visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google Analytics is told not to store analytics cookies, and Clarity applies Microsoft's own handling for those regions. Trip Under itself works the same either way.
What the analytics tools collect
- Google Analytics (GA4) measures which pages are read and how people arrive: the page address, a rough location that Google derives from your connection (country or city level), your device and browser, and the site you came from. It sets cookies on tripunder.com to recognise return visits.
- Microsoft Clarity records how pages are used: clicks and taps, scrolling, mouse movement and session replays that show the page as you saw it. It sets cookies on tripunder.com to connect page views, and Microsoft may set cookies on its own domains.
- Advertising is never allowed. We tell both tools that advertising storage and ad personalisation are denied, and Google signals are switched off. We send them no custom events, tags or identifiers.
- What is masked in Clarity recordings: everything typed into boxes, the starting-city box and its suggestions, distances from your starting city, and the My trip panel with your places, days and stops (including the trip markers on the map). Clarity also masks numbers and email addresses on the rest of the page. Masking is done by Microsoft's script in your browser, so it depends on that tool working as Microsoft describes.
- The map itself is not recorded. It is drawn on a canvas, which Clarity does not capture, so replays show a blank area where the map is.
- Addresses are trimmed. While analytics is on, the map page keeps a plain
/map/address, your starting city is never put in any address, both tools are given page addresses without query strings, and our pages tell other pages and sites only our domain as the referrer, not the page you were on.
Your analytics choice: On. Change it. Turning analytics off tells both tools, removes their cookies from tripunder.com and reloads the page; your saved trip stays as it is. The same "Analytics choices" link is on the map page.
See the Cookie Policy for exactly what's stored in your browser to make this work.
Third parties
| Service | What for | Their policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Traffic and readership measurement | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Microsoft Clarity | Behaviour analytics and session replays | privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement |
| Google Fonts | Loads the site's typefaces | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Wikimedia Commons, Pexels, Unsplash and a few other photo hosts | Serves the destination photos used across the site | Each host's own policy applies when your browser loads an image from them |
| Cloudflare | Hosts the site. Like any host it handles every request, including your IP address and the address of the page or search you asked for, to deliver it and keep the site safe. | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy |
| openrouteservice (HeiGIT gGmbH, Germany) | Place search on the map, asked for by our server on your behalf (see below) | account.heigit.org/info/tos |
| OpenFreeMap | Map background tiles, loaded by your browser | openfreemap.org |
| Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap (Overpass) | Optional map layers (sights, stations, food, stays), loaded by your browser only when you switch a layer on | Wikimedia privacy policy |
Map searches
- What leaves your browser: the place name you type. It goes to our own server, which asks openrouteservice. Our code passes on only that text, not your IP address or browser details, so openrouteservice sees the request as coming from our server.
- Your location: "Use my location" asks your browser for your position. It is used on your device and is never saved or sent to us. When map layers are on (you switch them on, or tap “What’s around” on a place), your browser asks Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap for what is in the area you are looking at, which may be the area around you.
- Logs: our server code does not record search text, places or coordinates. It only notes errors, without those details. Per-request logging for our server is switched off. Cloudflare and openrouteservice may keep their own technical logs under their policies linked above.
- Saved answers (cache): to avoid asking the same question twice, answers are kept on Cloudflare's servers for up to 1 day, and your browser may keep a copy for the same time. They are filed by the search text only, with nothing that identifies you.
- Limits: to stop abuse, each IP address can make up to 40 place searches a minute. Cloudflare counts this per IP address for that minute; we do not keep it. We also keep a running total of searches per day, with no IP address or search content, for 8 days, so the site stays within the free openrouteservice quota.
- Your trip: a trip you build on the map is saved only in your own browser (local storage), so it is there when you come back. Clearing your browser data removes it.
Your choices
You can turn analytics off (or back on) at any time with Analytics choices. You can also block these tools or their cookies in your browser; Trip Under works exactly the same either way, since nothing on the site depends on analytics.
Advertising
Trip Under has applied to show Google AdSense ads. No ads and no ad code run on the site yet. Before any ads appear, this page will be updated to explain what Google's ad cookies do and how you can refuse them, and ads will only be personalised if you agree. We will block ads from travel booking sites.
Children's privacy
Trip Under isn't directed at children and doesn't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this changes — for example, if a new analytics or advertising tool is ever added — this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.

Trip Under connector for Claude
The Trip Under connector is read-only and needs no account. When you use it, Claude sends our server only the search filters for your request (for example a month, a budget, a place or a currency). We don't receive your name, your conversation or any account details, we don't store the requests beyond standard short-lived server logs kept by our host (Cloudflare) for security, and we don't share or sell anything. Questions: hello@tripunder.com.
