What we collect

We collect no personal data ourselves: this site has no accounts and no sign-up. The “Suggest a spot” form only builds a message on your screen; nothing is sent until you choose to send it yourself.

What stays in your browser

Places you tap “Save” on are stored in your own browser (local storage) so you can find them again. They never leave your device. Clear your browser data to remove them.

Third-party services

Map tiles come from OpenStreetMap; your browser requests them directly. See the OpenStreetMap privacy policy.
Fonts load from Google Fonts. See the Google Privacy Policy.
Videos open on YouTube, Facebook or other platforms under their own terms. Video titles, channel names and view counts come from the YouTube API Services; see the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
Affiliate links to booking and travel services are managed by Travelpayouts. When you click one, Travelpayouts and the partner (for example Agoda) may set cookies to credit the referral. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you; it never changes which places we list. See the Travelpayouts privacy policy.

Creators and businesses

If you made a video listed here, or own a place we list, and want it changed or removed, email hello@hcmcinsider.com and we will act within 7 days.
