Privacy and data protection

What the form sends

When you send the form, it passes on the name you typed, the contact you chose to give and your message: which place, what should change, where it can be checked and how you know the place. The address and language of the page you wrote from are added. One field is hidden from people and only serves to keep automated spam out.

What messages are used for

Messages are stored by a form service and read together when the directory is next revised. They are used only to check and apply what you report, and you hear back only if you ask and leave a contact. Names and contacts are never published, sold or passed to the club, café or organiser concerned; a correction shown on the site describes the change, never the person who sent it.

How visits are counted

Visits are counted by a script served from this site's own domain. It sets no cookie and does not follow anyone across other sites. For each page view it notes the page, the page that linked to it, and the browser, device type and country taken from the request; these figures are only ever looked at as totals.

No outside services

The site loads no advertising, social media or other outside tracking code, and no external fonts, map tiles or images. A link to a source or to a map takes you to another website with its own privacy rules. The host that serves these pages handles technical data such as IP addresses only as far as delivering them requires.

Your rights under the GDPR

You may ask for a message you sent to be erased or corrected, or for information about what is stored: write again through the form with the same name and contact and say what you would like done. The request is carried out in the form service when messages are next read. You may also complain to a data protection authority, in Austria the Datenschutzbehörde, or the authority of the country where you live.
