Privacy Policy

Short version: this site doesn't use cookies, doesn't track you across the web and doesn't ask for any personal information. It counts visits anonymously so I know which guides are useful. The details are below.

Who runs this site

Maps & Mornings (mapsandmornings.com) is an independent travel blog. If you have any question about this policy or your data, write to [email protected].

What this site collects

There are no accounts, comment forms, newsletters or contact forms here, so you never give the site your name or email address while browsing.

Anonymous visit statistics. I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. It doesn't use cookies or local storage, doesn't fingerprint your browser and doesn't follow you to other sites. It records things like the page you opened, the site that linked to it, your country and the type of device and browser, and shows them to me only as totals.

Hosting. The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web server, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic request data to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks. This data isn't used to identify you or build a profile. SeeCloudflare's privacy policy.

Fonts and images are served from this site itself, not from Google or other third parties.

Cookies

This site doesn't set any cookies, so there's no cookie banner. If that ever changes, for example if I add advertising, this policy will be updated first and you'll be asked for consent where the law requires it.

If you email me

If you write to [email protected], I'll use your email address and message only to reply. I don't add anyone to a mailing list or share emails with anyone. You can ask me to delete our conversation at any time.

Links to other websites

Guides link to other sites, such as boat companies or official tourism pages. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and I'm not responsible for how they handle your data. If a guide ever contains affiliate links, the article will say so at the top.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU, the UK GDPR, or Californian law), you have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to its use. Because this site doesn't collect personal data while you browse, there's usually nothing to hand over, but you're welcome to ask at [email protected]. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

This site isn't aimed at children and doesn't knowingly collect any data from them.

Changes to this policy

If anything here changes, for example when new features or advertising are added, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
