Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect information in two ways:

Information you provide

If you use our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the name and email address you submit. We don't collect this information unless you actively provide it.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or Vercel Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns. This data is anonymised and not used to identify individuals.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to messages sent via the contact form
• Send the newsletter to subscribers who have opted in
• Understand how the site is being used so we can improve it
• Detect and fix technical problems

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties.

3. Cookies

We use cookies for analytics (to understand traffic) and to remember your preferences where applicable. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect how some parts of the site function.

We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking across other websites.

4. Third-party services

This site uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Vercel — hosting and edge network. May log request metadata.
• Sanity — content management system for our editorial content.
• Google Analytics / Vercel Analytics — anonymous traffic analytics.
• OpenFreeMap / MapLibre — map tiles on location pages. No personal data is sent.

5. Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you click them and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the site free and independent. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial recommendations.

6. Your rights

If you are based in the EU/EEA, you have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

We retain contact form submissions for a maximum of 12 months. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe.
