LanFinder (lanfinder.app) helps you find offline esports LAN events near a city you search for. It is operated as a small independent project from the United Kingdom. Contact: support@lanfinder.app.
LanFinder has no accounts, sets no cookies of its own, and stores no personal information about you on our servers. Your city searches are processed to return results and are not saved to a profile. Aggregated, cookieless visit statistics are collected so we can see page views.
When you search a city, the city name is sent to our server to find matching events. If we have not seen that city before, the city name (and nothing else about you) is forwarded to the OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding service to resolve its coordinates. Search text is not linked to you and no search history is kept per visitor.
Like almost every website, our infrastructure processes your IP address to deliver pages and protect the service:
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first measurement tool. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint you, and does not track you across sites. We only see aggregate numbers (page views, referrers, countries).
Pages load fonts from the Google Fonts CDN (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com). Your browser requests those files directly from Google, which means Google receives your IP address as part of serving them, under Google's privacy policy.
Event information comes from Liquipedia (CC-BY-SA). Event images are fetched and cached by our server and served from our own domain, so your browser does not contact Liquipedia when browsing LanFinder.
LanFinder does not set cookies and does not use local storage in your browser.
Event pages link to third-party sites: official event and ticket pages, map services, and calendar downloads. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.
Some outbound links on LanFinder may be affiliate links to third-party partners, such as providers of gaming products and services, ticketing, travel, or accommodation. If you make a purchase or booking through such a link we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are labelled, and they do not change which events we show or how they are ranked. No affiliate tracking runs on this site itself; any tracking happens on the partner's own pages after you click.
We do not store personal data, so there is nothing to retain or delete on our side. Transient rate-limiting entries expire within minutes. Our hosting and network providers retain standard server logs for limited periods as described in their own policies.
Under the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR you have rights over personal data concerning you, including access, correction, and erasure. Since we keep no personal data, there is usually nothing for us to act on. If you believe otherwise, or have any privacy question, contact support@lanfinder.app and we will respond promptly. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
If our practices change (for example, if we join a specific affiliate programme that requires additional disclosure), this page will be updated and the date at the top revised.
