BazaarFinder

Your data. Clearly explained.

This page explains the new BazaarFinder search module. Updated 24 October 2026.

Location, when you choose.

The website requests device location only after you press the location button. Coordinates are sent to this website to calculate nearby results. The module does not keep a visitor location history, and does not forward your precise coordinates to the city lookup provider.

City search and maps.

Common city names are looked up in our local GeoNames database (CC BY 4.0). Other submitted place names may be sent to the Photon geocoding provider, with results cached on our server. The map loads OpenStreetMap tiles only when you select map view. Those services receive ordinary network request information. You can use the list without opening a map.

Saved markets.

Saved markets use your browser’s local storage. They stay on this device and can be removed by pressing the heart again or clearing this site’s browser data. No account is required.

Market information and photos.

OpenStreetMap data is used under ODbL 1.0. Each photograph’s author, source and licence are shown in the market detail. Source collection dates are not independent verification of opening hours.

Hosting and existing services.

GoDaddy and the underlying WordPress installation may maintain technical logs and existing site services. Their settings and retention are managed separately from this module. Questions about your data can be sent to info@bazaarfinder.com.

A little curiosity goes a long way

Less ordinary shopping.

The stalls, the stories, the unexpected finds. Local markets are a window into a place — whether it is around the corner or across the world.

Explore the market journal ↗

Information you can trace.

Market details link to their sources. Missing opening hours stay unknown, and photos include their reuse licence.

Nearby means nearby.

Choose your distance in kilometres. Results are sorted by straight-line distance, rather than driving time.

A lighter way to explore.

Small images, results in pages, and a map that loads only when you open it.

Data & photo credits

Market data: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. Archived records are identified separately. City names and reference coordinates: GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Other place lookups may use Photon and OpenStreetMap data.

Each photograph has its own source, author and licence shown on the market detail. We do not substitute a nearby place’s photo for a market photo. Missing photos use a labelled illustration.

Source checks show when records were collected, not an independent verification of business hours. Confirm seasonal dates and special holiday hours with the market before travelling.

Your precise device location is used for the requested nearby search. This module does not save a location history or forward your coordinates to the city lookup provider. Saved markets stay on your device.
