Privacy policy

Updated: 12 November 2026

Who runs this site

GlobusLive is run by Nir Sapir, a private individual in Israel. Privacy contact: nir.sapir [at] gmail.com

What the site does not do

• No sign-up, user accounts, or forms that store data with us.
• No cookies set by this site. The YouTube player, if you choose to start it, follows Google's policy (see below).
• No analytics, tracking, or advertising tools.
• The site does not display, record, or store images or video from the cameras. Each camera is shown as a link to its operator's page.

What is stored in your browser

The site uses your browser's local storage (localStorage). It is never sent to us or anyone else:

• wwm-fav: cameras you marked as favourites.
• wwm-best: your best score in the guessing game.
• wwm-splash: a flag that the welcome screen was shown.
• wwm-trip: your "My trip" destinations. When you share a trip, the destination names are part of the link itself.

You can delete it at any time in your browser settings ("clear site data").

Third parties involved in loading the site

Like any website, your browser contacts servers to load the page. They see your IP address and basic browser details, under their own privacy policies:

• Cloudflare: hosts the site (Cloudflare Pages) including the map library and the country-border files, which are served from the site itself. Cloudflare processes access data for operation and security.

We receive no identifying information about you from these services.

Location and place search

• "Near me": if you click it and allow your browser, your location is used only in your browser to find the nearest cameras. It is not sent to us or anyone else, and is not stored.
• Search by city name: done in your browser, against a city list loaded from this site.
• Search for an address or site not in the city list: the text you typed is sent to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service to find the place. The service sees that text and your IP address, under the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy. To avoid this, search by city name only.

Watching YouTube streams on the site

For cameras that stream on YouTube you can tap "Watch here" or open "Live". Only after that tap does the official YouTube player load, from youtube-nocookie.com (privacy-enhanced mode). From then on YouTube (Google) sees your IP address and may store data in your browser under Google's privacy policy. Without a tap the player is not loaded. The "live now" check is done by our server against YouTube, with no details about you.

"I'm here — watch me live"

If you used "Near me" and you are close to a camera, you can send a link to family. The link holds only the camera id, a first name if you add one, and the send time. Your location is not in the link and is not stored by us. Note: the stream is public, and anyone watching the camera may see you.

Weather and stream checks

When you turn on the weather layer or open a camera, your browser sends our server (Cloudflare) only the coordinates of the cameras in view, rounded to about 1 km. The server asks Open-Meteo for the weather; your IP address and location are not sent to Open-Meteo. Likewise, checking whether a YouTube stream is live now is done by our server, by video id only. Nothing about you is stored.

Cameras from Windy

When you zoom in on an area, our server (Cloudflare) asks Windy.com for cameras in that area, using a rounded centre point only. Your IP address is not sent to Windy at that stage. Clicking a Windy camera takes you to their site, where their privacy policy applies.

Links to other sites

Clicking a camera, a YouTube channel, a lodging search (Booking), tours (GetYourGuide) or walking tours (GuruWalk) takes you to another site, whose privacy policy then applies. Lodging and tour links are currently not affiliate links, and we are not paid for them. If that changes, we will update this page and label those links.

Contacting us

If you write to us, we use your address and message only to handle your request.

Changes

If we add features that collect data, such as user accounts or camera reports, we will update this policy before they go live and change the date above.
