Who We Are

BangMiles (bangmiles.com) is a novelty mileage calculator operated as a personal side project and hosted by Teklan Hosting. For privacy questions or removal requests, contact hello@bangmiles.com.

What stays on your device

BangMiles stores the following data only in your browser's localStorage unless you explicitly submit something:

• Your calculation history and saved results
• Your couple profile and anniversary date
• Your nickname and calculator preferences
• Your advertising choice for this device

This data is not sent to our servers by default.

What we store server-side

If you submit to the leaderboard, we store:

• Your chosen display name
• Your miles total
• Broad comparison fields such as calculation mode and activity band
• The submission date

Anti-abuse controls

To protect the leaderboard from spam, BangMiles stores a keyed hash derived from the request IP address for up to one hour. It is held separately in SQLite, is automatically removed, and is never published.

Shared links

When you copy or share a result, the URL may contain calculator inputs such as length, frequency, dates, and settings. Anyone with that link can see those values because they are in the URL itself.

Web server logs

Like most websites, our server may keep standard request logs that can include IP addresses, user agents, and timestamps for operational security and abuse handling.

Cookies and advertising

BangMiles does not set analytics cookies. Optional first-party product events contain only an event category and calculation mode, never calculator values, names, dates, URLs or device identifiers. This telemetry is disabled by default and honours Do Not Track.

Third-party services

• Google AdSense for advertising, but only after an ads-on choice is saved on this device

How to remove data

Local browser data: clear site data for bangmiles.com in your browser.

Leaderboard entries: after submission, a deletion token is stored only in this browser and provides a “Remove my entry” action. If that receipt is lost, email hello@bangmiles.com.

Children

BangMiles is intended for adults aged 18 and over. If you believe a minor submitted something to the leaderboard, contact us and we will remove it.

Your rights

If you are in the UK or EEA, you may ask us to access, correct, or erase personal data we hold about you. In practice, the data we can identify on the public service is limited, so removal requests are the most common route.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our site behaviour changes. The date at the top of the page will change when we do.
