Hosting (Cloudflare)

This website is served via Cloudflare Pages by Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you open a page, Cloudflare processes technically necessary connection data (such as IP address, time, requested address and browser identifier) to deliver the site and protect it against attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and fast operation). Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. [TODO: review/sign Cloudflare DPA]

No analytics

We use no analytics or statistics services. For advertising, see below.

Data on your device

The map app stores settings, planned trips, visited camps and the downloaded offline map only locally in your browser (local storage, IndexedDB, origin private file system, service-worker cache). This data is not sent to us. Your GPS position is used only after you allow it and only on your device. You can delete all of it at any time in your browser settings (“clear site data”). If you share a trip by link, the trip is contained in the link itself.

Map data

Places and roads come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL); the basemap is based on Protomaps. This data is loaded from our own server — opening the map sends no requests to OpenStreetMap or Protomaps.

Live sightings and external links

If you switch on the optional “live sightings” layer, our server fetches the public sightings feed of Latest Sightings; the related photos are loaded by your browser directly from Latest Sightings’ servers, which then see your IP address. Navigation links (e.g. Google Maps) only contact an external service after you click them.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

On the content pages (e.g. camp, gate and list pages), the home page and in the map app (at the bottom of the sidebar or menu) we show ads via Google AdSense, a service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google may use cookies and similar identifiers, process data about your visit (such as IP address, browser information and the page viewed) and — depending on your choice — serve personalised or non-personalised ads; data may be transferred to the USA (EU-US Data Privacy Framework). The map app only loads ads while you are online; offline it works without ads.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent through a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) before cookies or identifiers are stored or read for advertising (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG). You can withdraw your consent at any time via the “privacy settings” link or the consent dialog. More information: How Google uses cookies in advertising.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR) and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
