Mapkeep – Privacy Store Locator

Mapkeep – Privacy Store Locator shows your shops, dealers, offices or pick-up points on an interactive map with a searchable list – without sending your visitors’ data to Google or anyone else.

Why this plugin

• No API key, no credit card. Maps come from OpenStreetMap. Install, add locations, done.
• Privacy by design. No cookies, no tracking, no fonts or scripts from third parties. All JavaScript and CSS is served from your own site.
• Address search that keeps visitors anonymous. When a visitor searches for a city or postcode, the request goes from your server to OpenStreetMap Nominatim – the visitor’s IP address never leaves your site. Results are cached. This is opt-in for the site owner.
• Security hardened. Nonces, capability checks, output escaping, rate limiting, anonymised security log, and a clean uninstall that removes everything.
• Works with any theme. Five layouts — floating panel over a full-bleed map (right or left) or classic list layouts — with wide/full alignment and fluid widths.

Features (free)

• Unlimited locations, added manually (address, region, country, coordinates, phone, e-mail, website, opening hours, logo)
• Locations dashboard: search, filter by country, toggle publish/draft, edit in a side panel
• “Fetch coordinates from address” button – no more looking up latitude/longitude by hand
• “Use my location” button – browser geolocation, only after the visitor allows it; the coordinate never leaves the browser
• Map with marker clustering; country filter chips built automatically from your locations, or a list grouped by country and region
• Search by name, city or postcode; optional address/distance search (“nearest locations”)
• Direct links to a filtered map: ?country=nl or ?region=north-holland
• Layouts: panel-right (default), panel-left, list-left, list-right, list-below; align="wide|full"
• Translation-ready (English source; translations via translate.wordpress.org)
• Privacy policy text suggestion for your Privacy Policy page

Privacy

This plugin does not collect or send personal data by itself. Third-party services involved:

• OpenStreetMap tiles (tile.openstreetmap.org) – loaded by the visitor’s browser. Privacy policy
• OpenStreetMap Nominatim (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) – only when the site owner enables address search; contacted server-to-server, visitor IPs are not shared. Usage policy

Rate limiting stores request counts per hashed IP for a few minutes. The optional security log stores hashed IPs and is purged after 30 days.
