Overview
WDW Standby is an independent planning and wait-time tool. The site is designed to work without user accounts. Most planner choices are stored in your browser so the plan can stay available while you use the site.
Information We Collect
When you use the website, the server may receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, requested pages, request time, and basic error or access logs. This information is used to operate, secure, debug, and improve the service.
The day planner and companion may store selected park, date, arrival and departure times, attraction selections, free-time windows, and related settings in your browser storage. This information stays on your device unless you submit it to the planner API to generate a plan.
If you use Telegram alerts, Telegram account identifiers and subscription settings may be stored so alerts can be delivered and managed. Telegram messages are also subject to Telegram's own privacy practices.
Cookies, Browser Storage, and Advertising
WDW Standby may use browser storage to remember planner settings and improve the experience. When you see advertising on the site, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. WDW Standby does not control every third-party advertising cookie, but you can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and learn about additional choices at aboutads.info.
Third-Party Services
WDW Standby uses Queue-Times.com and ThemeParks.wiki data to provide wait-time, park-hour, and showtime features. Telegram is used only if you choose to subscribe to Telegram alerts. The site may display advertising or link to third-party websites. Third-party services are responsible for their own content, policies, and practices. Links do not imply endorsement.
How We Use Information
Information is used to provide wait-time views, build planner schedules, deliver optional Telegram alerts, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, and understand whether the service is working correctly.
Data Retention
Browser storage remains on your device until you clear it or reset the planner. Server logs and operational data may be kept for a limited period for maintenance, security, and debugging. Telegram subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe or the service removes inactive subscriptions.
Your Choices
You can clear browser storage in your browser settings. You can unsubscribe from Telegram alerts by sending /stop to the bot. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, adjust Google ad personalization through Google Ads Settings, and use any consent choices shown on the site where required.
