Your Privacy, Plainly Stated
MetroVersus (“we”, “us”) runs https://metroversus.com/ (the “Site”) to help people compare cities. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Effective date: January 16, 2026
What we collect (and what we don’t)
Data we may collect automatically
- Device & usage data (pages viewed, clicks, approximate location derived from IP, browser type).
- Log data (IP address, timestamps, referring URL, errors).
- Cookie and similar tech identifiers (see our Cookie Policy).
Data you choose to give us
If you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We only use it to respond, keep records, and improve support.
We do not ask for sensitive personal data to use the Site.
How we use information
- To provide and maintain the Site, including city comparison features.
- To understand what’s useful (analytics) and improve performance, speed, and content quality.
- To keep the Site secure, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues.
- To communicate with you when you reach out to us.
- To serve and measure advertising, if enabled (e.g., Google AdSense or similar providers).
Analytics and advertising partners
We may use third-party tools to understand traffic and keep the Site sustainable (including advertising). These providers may set cookies or collect device identifiers to measure performance, limit repeated ads, and personalize content where legally permitted.
Important note: Third parties have their own privacy policies. We don’t control their technologies, but we choose providers carefully and aim to keep things transparent.
International visitors, GDPR-style rights
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or similar jurisdictions, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, and data portability. Some rights depend on the legal basis we use (e.g., consent for certain cookies, legitimate interests for security and basic analytics).
To exercise a request, email us at support@metroversus.com. We may ask for reasonable verification to protect you and other users.
Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here—then we delete or anonymize it. Logs and security records may be retained longer when needed to protect the Site.
Security (realistic, not magical)
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No online service can promise perfect security, but we continuously work to reduce risk.
Children
The Site is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy as the Site evolves. If changes are significant, we’ll post an updated date on this page. Your continued use of the Site means you accept the updated policy.
