GDPR Compliance

What data we collect

• Analytics cookies: Anonymous usage data through services like Google Analytics (pages visited, device/browser info, referral source).
• Form submissions: Data you send through contact forms, venue updates, correction requests, or email.
• Advertising-related cookies: Cookies used by ad providers to show and measure relevant ads.

How we use data

• Maintain and improve venue listings and site performance.
• Respond to inquiries, corrections, and user-submitted updates.
• Measure site traffic and content usefulness.
• Support website operations through ad performance and fraud prevention.

Your GDPR rights

If you are in the EEA, UK, or other regions with similar rights, you may request:

• Access: A copy of personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Updates to inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: Erasure of your personal data, where applicable.
• Portability: A machine-readable copy of your data.
• Restriction or objection: Limits on how we process your data in certain cases.

Cookie consent

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and advertising cookies. Until you choose "Accept," those cookies stay disabled: we use Google Consent Mode, which defaults analytics and ad storage to denied, so Google Analytics and Google AdSense do not set or read those cookies before you opt in. Only the essential cookies needed for the site to function are set by default.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the site footer, or by managing cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site features.

Data retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, legal obligations, and security/audit needs. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

Contact and requests
