Privacy policy

Draft of 2026-11-12. Not yet reviewed by a lawyer.

Loop Check shows the weather and road status of the Ha Giang Loop. You do not need an account. This page explains what the site does and does not collect.

What we do not collect

No accounts, no names, no email addresses, no phone numbers, no advertising or tracking cookies (only the units choice below). We do not ask for your location and the site does not read it.

Your trip plan

The plan you build is stored only on your device (browser storage). A share link contains only the plan settings (start date, number of days, route). We do not receive it until someone opens the link. If you switch units (°F, miles), the site keeps that choice in one small cookie named units on your device. It carries no identifier and is not used for tracking.

Votes and road reports

The 👍/👎 vote on a status card is anonymous: we store the point, the vote and the day, without your IP address, for 60 days. A road report stores the point, the type, your text (up to 500 characters) and an optional link, for 30 days. Please do not write names, phone numbers or other personal details. A person on our team reads every report. Nothing is shown on the site until that person approves it, and then only as a short summary in our own words.

Hosting and technical logs

The site runs on Cloudflare. Like any website, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver pages and protect the site. We do not use that data to identify you. Weather data is fetched by our server from Open-Meteo; your browser does not contact Open-Meteo. The map and fonts are served from our own site.

Tips sent to our team

Our team may receive tips (text, photos or links) through a private Telegram bot. We keep only a short excerpt with phone numbers, email addresses and @names removed, to check and publish road events.

Analytics

At the moment there is no analytics. If we add cookie-free visit counting, we will say so here first.

Your rights and contact

The site is operated by Loop Check. We aim to follow Vietnamese personal data rules (Decree 13/2023/ND-CP). Since we hold almost no personal data, there is little to access or delete; if you sent a report and want it removed, email check.myloop@gmail.com and describe it (point and day). We will update this page when this policy changes.
