Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-25
What we collect
- Account information — if you sign up, we store your email address and display name (via our authentication provider, Supabase).
- Saved spots and stories, and reviews you write — tied to your account so you can find them again.
- Language preference — stored in a cookie so the site remembers which language you last chose.
- Basic usage analytics — we count views, clicks on contact/booking buttons, shares, and saves per spot, to understand what's useful. This isn't tied to your identity beyond what's described above.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies: one to remember your language choice, and one (session-based) to keep you signed in if you have an account. Neither is used for advertising by itself.
If you accept the cookie banner shown on your first visit, we may also load third-party advertising (Google AdSense), which sets its own cookies to personalize ads. You can decline this and still use the site normally — declining only affects ad personalization, not access to any content or feature.
Third-party services we use
- Supabase — hosts our database and handles account sign-in.
- OpenFreeMap — provides the map tiles shown on the map page.
- Google AdSense (only if you accept the cookie banner) — may show ads and set its own cookies for ad personalization. See Google's advertising policy for details on how they handle data.
- Affiliate partners (Amazon, GetYourGuide, Klook) — booking/purchase links to these sites may include a tracking parameter that credits us if you make a purchase. We don't receive any personal data about you from these clicks.
Your choices
- You can decline advertising cookies at any time via the cookie banner.
- You can delete saved spots, saved stories, and reviews yourself from your account.
- To request deletion of your account entirely, contact us using the details below.
