Privacy policy

Who is responsible

The controller under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the operator named in our legal notice. You can reach us at hello@fabledplaces.com. Legal notice

Server logs

When you open a page, our web server receives the technical data every browser sends: IP address, date and time, the page requested, the referring page and the browser type. We use it only to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix errors, and keep it no longer than needed for that. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

View counts

We count how often each place is viewed to show what is popular. The count is anonymous by design: a visitor is recognised only by a one-way hash that is salted with a random value kept in memory and replaced every day, and only one number per place per day is stored. No cookie is set for this.

Your collection

Places you bookmark are stored in your own browser (local storage), not on our server. We cannot see them. Clearing your browser data removes them.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a service of Google Ireland Limited, to understand how the site is used: which pages are read, from which countries and devices. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes your IP address in shortened form. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States, which is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Advertising

We show advertising through Google AdSense, a service of Google Ireland Limited. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, to limit how often you see the same ad and, where you agree, to show ads based on your interests and your visits to this and other websites.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before such cookies are used, through a consent message provided by Google. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the privacy settings link shown on the site, and you can turn off personalised advertising in Google’s My Ad Center.

Maps and fonts

Maps are loaded from OpenFreeMap, which receives your IP address in order to send the map tiles. Fonts are served from our own server; no request goes to a font provider.

Your rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing and to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. To exercise these rights, write to us. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority; ours is the Slovenian Information Commissioner (Informacijski pooblaščenec).

Children

The site is meant for a general audience and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

We update this policy when the site changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
