DATA, FRESHNESS & PRIVACY

What the map knows

A clear line between official listings, useful estimates, and details that still need an in-store check.

✓ CONFIRMED

Official pages and store snapshots

Flavor pages are checked on every visit. FamilyMart and 7‑ELEVEN store lists keep separate official snapshot dates.

≈ ESTIMATED

Taiwan regional flavors

Regional campaigns and machine types guide the estimate. Changeover timing can still vary by store.

? CHECK FIRST

Live stock and personal coupons

When a chain does not publish live store stock, ICE MAP never turns a candidate store into a guarantee.

How freshness checks work

Each visit bypasses CDN caching when checking Taiwan flavor sources and 5 official Japan product pages. Returning to an older tab triggers another check. FamilyMart and 7‑ELEVEN store lists are synchronized separately, and a source older than seven days is flagged. Japan monitoring compares 36 tracked product labels with the published baseline and this device’s previous visit. A fresh request still cannot prove that one store has just restocked.

Location, saved items, and privacy

Your location is used in the browser only to sort nearby Taiwan stores or open a Google Maps search. ICE MAP does not save it. Favorites, recent stores, trip picks, exchange rates, and page fingerprints stay on this device.

Offline and installable

ICE MAP can be added to a phone’s home screen. Online visits prefer the latest page and source check. Saved information appears only when the connection fails and is labeled as offline.

Before making a special trip

ICE MAP is an independent guide. Sellouts, flavor changeovers, machine cleaning, temporary pauses, and personal app offers are not fully visible in public data. Use the official locator or call the store before traveling far.
