Privacy
This page describes what I Love Vice City actually stores and transmits today. It is not a claim of legal compliance.
No accounts
The site has no user accounts, no sign-in, and no cloud sync of saved map places. There is no profile database of readers.
Browser storage
The map stores view state under ilovevice.map.state.v1 and saved place ids under ilovevice.map.saved.v1 in the browser's localStorage. A theme flag is also written to localStorage. Those values stay on the device; they are not sent to the API. localStorage is not a cookie. See Cookies.
Hosting and logs
The public website is intended to run on Vercel. The API and PostgreSQL database are intended to run on a VPS. PostgreSQL stores game content, map features, and media metadata — not reader accounts.
The API records request method, path, status, and duration for operations. It is not designed to log cookies, authorization headers, or database URLs. Hosting providers may also keep their own access logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL) as part of running the service.
Remote images
Some pages load official promotional images from Rockstar Games hosts. Your browser requests those files directly from Rockstar or their CDN. I Love Vice City does not re-host that media.
Analytics, ads, and consent tools
Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and a consent management platform are off unless they are explicitly configured for a production deployment. They are not active in the default application configuration.
