Privacy

Where Next is a small tool for settling group holiday decisions. This page explains what it collects, in plain language, and why. The short version: nothing here is sold, and nothing is shared with third parties for advertising or marketing. The only use of your data is running your game and, in aggregate, making the recommendations better.

What's collected, and why

• Your game and answers. The names you enter and each traveller's answers to the eight questions, so the site can work out what fits the group. This lives only for the lifetime of your game (two days at most) and is then deleted.
• Votes on suggested destinations. If you vote a suggestion up or down, that vote, plus the quiz answers and destination ranking that produced it, is kept to improve future recommendations. It's tied to the anonymous game it came from, not to your name or IP address. Nothing here is sent to the server unless you actually vote.
• Basic technical logs. Page loads, load times, and error reports, along with your IP address, your browser type and, if another website linked you here, that site's name (just the domain, never the full address), purely to keep the site reliable, catch abuse (e.g. automated overuse), and see which sites send visitors. When a game finishes, the winning destination is logged too (never the answers behind it, unless you vote). Kept for a limited period, then deleted.
• On your own device only. Your language and light/dark preference, and enough state to resume a game you were mid-way through if you reload the page. None of this ever leaves your device.
• A rough location guess, to suggest a starting airport. Cloudflare, which already handles every connection to this site, tells the page which country and roughly which city area your traffic is coming from, never anything more precise than that, and never your actual IP address. It's used only to put airports from your country at the top of the list and pre-fill the nearest major airport as a starting point; you can always pick a different one. No new party ever sees your location for this, since Cloudflare was already the one routing your connection.
• Messages sent through the contact form. Whatever name, email, and message you choose to enter, plus your IP address to deter spam. Used only to read and respond to what you sent. The IP address is discarded after a week, since it only exists to catch repeat spam, and messages themselves are deleted after a year.

What doesn't happen

Nothing collected here is sold. Nothing is shared with third parties for marketing or advertising. There are no ad trackers and no cross-site profiling. This isn't that kind of tool.

Who else sees anything

Delivering the site at all means traffic necessarily passes through our hosting provider and Cloudflare, who provide security and content delivery. These are infrastructure providers, not data-sharing partners, and neither of them receives your quiz answers or votes.

Your options

The menu lets you start over at any point, which clears everything saved on your device. If you'd like to get in touch, use the contact form.

About

Every group holiday starts the same way: a chat thread that goes nowhere. Someone wants a beach, someone wants a city, one person's budget is a third of everyone else's, and the loudest opinion wins.

I built Where Next after watching my own family go through this every year: weeks of back and forth, then someone quietly unhappy with wherever we landed. The fix was to stop talking. Everyone answers the same quiz alone, and the answers settle it instead of the group chat.

Eight questions, two minutes a person, no signup. Out comes the trip that actually fits the group.

Kids who can't read yet can play too. The quiz reads each question aloud, and the answers are pictures.

I don't sell or share anything you enter, and there's no advertising or tracking. The privacy page has the full detail.

This is one person's project and the data comes with no warranty, so check anything that matters before you book.

Every destination gets its own poster, drawn as flat vector art in one house style and tuned for light and dark mode. Nothing is a stock photo and nothing is borrowed.

Curious what's in the pool? Browse all destinations the quiz can pick from, each with its best travel window and budget level.
