Privacy Policy

How Locatd handles your data.

What we collect

Locatd shows retail and hospitality jobs on a map. We collect anonymous, first-party analytics about how the map is used — searches, areas viewed, jobs viewed, apply click-throughs and shares — so we can show employers where demand for jobs is highest. We do not collect your name, email, or any account information from map visitors.

Location data

When you search an area or use “near me”, we use the location only to find nearby jobs. For analytics we record the nearest town centre, never your exact position, and any stored coordinates are rounded to roughly 1 km. Your precise location is used in your browser to fetch results and is not stored.

Consent

Analytics only run after you accept them in the consent banner. If you decline, no analytics are sent. Your choice is remembered in your browser and you can clear it at any time by clearing your site data.

How long we keep data

Anonymous interaction events are retained for up to 180 days; aggregate trends (which contain no individual events) are kept to show change over time.

Cookies

The public map uses only a local anonymous identifier (in your browser’s local storage) to group your own interactions; it isn’t shared. Staff who sign in to the admin area use a secure, http-only session cookie.
