Take Me Around: privacy
Last updated 11 November 2026
Take Me Around is a virtual taxi ride through any city. It is made by SharpMoon. This page says, in plain words, what happens to your data when you use the app or this website.
What we collect
Nothing. The app has no accounts, no sign-in, no advertising and no tracking. We run no service that receives your rides, the cities you pick, or anything you type.
What stays on your device
Your choices (driver's voice, the look of the city, the light) and the plan of a recent ride are kept on your own device, so the app opens the way you left it. Removing the app, or clearing the site's data in your browser, removes them.
Services the app talks to
To build a ride, the app asks public services directly from your device. As with any website, each of them sees your internet address and the request itself (for example the name of the city), under its own privacy policy:
- OpenFreeMap: the map of the streets and buildings.
- OpenStreetMap Nominatim: finding the city you typed.
- Wikipedia and Wikidata: the places worth seeing and the facts about them.
- OSRM (Project OSRM): the route between the places.
- Overpass (OpenStreetMap France): the shapes of well-known buildings.
- Project PLATEAU (Japan): the 3D buildings of Tokyo, on Tokyo rides only.
The driver's voice
The driver speaks with the voice built into your phone or browser. The app does not record you and does not use the microphone.
Children
The app collects no personal data from anyone, children included.
Changes
If the app starts to work differently, this page will be updated before the change is released, with a new date at the top.
