PolskimyPharoos stands on the work of many people and open projects. We don’t scrape data – we use official and open sources in line with their licences, and we credit them here. Thank you to everyone who creates and maintains them.
Maps and places
- OpenStreetMap – map tiles, city and address search, and part of the embassy and consulate data. © OpenStreetMap contributors, data under the Open Database License (ODbL).
- Leaflet – the library that displays the maps (BSD licence).
- Photon (komoot) and Nominatim – city autocomplete and address lookup, both built on OpenStreetMap data.
- Overpass API – the service through which we read each country’s diplomatic missions from OpenStreetMap.
Embassies, consulates and emergency numbers
- Wikidata – the base list of diplomatic missions (CC0 licence), processed by the Database of Embassies project.
- OpenStreetMap – phone numbers, addresses and consulates in tourist areas (ODbL).
- Emergency numbers are compiled from publicly available overviews (including Wikipedia) and gradually verified against each country’s official sites.
Contacts in the “In an emergency” section are for guidance. The official website of the mission, linked from every record, is always authoritative.
Weather
- Open-Meteo – current weather in destinations. Data under CC BY 4.0.
Photos and graphics
- Pexels – some destination photos; the photographer is credited on the photo itself.
- Other images are our own, made for myPharoos (some with the help of AI), or uploaded by venues, organisations and members who hold the rights to them.
- Flagpedia / flagcdn.com – country flags. Language flag icons: Flaticon.
- Typeface Inter (Rasmus Andersson), SIL Open Font License.
Texts
- Destination descriptions, the guide and editorial articles are myPharoos’ own texts. Where AI assisted, the article says so.
- Articles by community members belong to their authors; the licence is shown under each article.
- Venue details are managed by their operators; for unclaimed listings we rely on publicly available information.
Payments
- Stripe – payment processing for tickets and passes. Your card details never reach us.

If a source is missing or wrong, or you believe we are using your content incorrectly, write to us – we will fix it.
Venue photos from their websites
For venues that have not uploaded their own photo yet, we show the picture their website offers for sharing links. The photo shows its source with a link to the venue's website. The owner can replace it with their own photo at any time after claiming the venue, or write to us and we will remove it.
