1. Introduction

Thank you for using Croatia Hidden Gems! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application ("App"). By using this App, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We value your privacy and aim to collect as little data as possible. The App does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII).

What We DO Collect:

  • Favorite Locations (locally stored): Users can mark locations as favorites. This data is stored only on your device and is not shared or transmitted to us or any third parties.

What We DO NOT Collect:

  • No name, email, or contact information
  • No user login or registration
  • No GPS or precise location tracking
  • No device identifiers or advertising IDs
  • No analytics or tracking data

3. How We Use Your Information

As we do not collect personal information, we do not use, process, or share any data about you. Your favorite locations are stored only on your own device and are used solely to personalize your experience within the app.

4. Data Security

Even though we do not collect personal data, we still value data integrity and security. All favorite location data is stored securely in your device’s local storage. The app does not transmit this data to external servers.

5. GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) Compliance

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), your privacy rights under the GDPR are respected. Specifically:

  • We do not process personal data, and therefore do not require a lawful basis for such processing.
  • Since no personal data is collected, there is no need for data access, correction, deletion, or portability requests.
  • The app does not involve profiling, automated decision-making, or cross-border data transfers.

You have the right to contact us regarding any questions or concerns about your data privacy at croatiahiddengems@gmail.com

6. Third-Party Services

The app does not use any third-party services that collect or process personal information. There is no integration with advertising platforms, analytics services, or social media plugins.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our application does not target children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, the updated version will be posted within the app or on our website, along with the date of revision. Your continued use of the app after changes means you accept the new terms.

The policy above covers the Croatia Hidden Gems mobile app. This section covers the website croatiahiddengems.com.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) to understand how visitors use the site — for example which pages are viewed and roughly from which country. For this, Google Analytics sets cookies (_ga, _ga_*) and processes your IP address and device information. The data is kept for up to 14 months, and Google may also process it in the USA (Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). If you don't want this, you can block cookies in your browser settings or install Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Hosting

The website is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver the pages and protect the site against attacks.

Map

The interactive map is provided by Mapbox. To show it, your browser loads map data directly from Mapbox's servers, which receive your IP address. If you use the map's "my location" button, your location is used only in your browser to center the map and is not sent to us.

Videos

Videos are embedded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube receives your IP address when the player loads and may set cookies once you play a video.

Newsletter

If you open the newsletter form on the About page, it is loaded from MailerLite. If you subscribe, MailerLite stores your email address to send you the newsletter; you can unsubscribe with the link in every email.

Favorites

Locations you save as favorites are stored only in your browser (local storage) and are never sent to us. Whether you have closed the cookie notice is stored the same way.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, and to object to its processing. Contact us at croatiahiddengems@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example in your country of residence.
