• Your town comes from your connection (city-level), your device's exact location only when you tap for it, or a ZIP you type. It is stored on your device, not sold, and never gates content.
• Browsing needs no account and sets no login wall.
• Posting/messaging uses the shared MyTown-family account; what you post publicly is public, like any bulletin board.
• Routes live on your device until you choose to open them in Google Maps.
