Privacy Policy

This policy explains, in plain terms, what happens to information connected to your use of this site. Budapest Field Guide is a static website with no user accounts, no login system, and no server-side database.

The Itinerary Planner Tool

The itinerary planner at /itinerary-planner/ runs entirely in your browser. The preferences you select and the itinerary that's generated are saved using your browser's local storage, a standard web technology that keeps data on your own device so your itinerary is still there if you close the tab and come back later. This data is never transmitted to us, is not visible to us in any form, and is not shared with any third party. Clearing your browser's site data, or using a different browser or device, will remove it.

What We Do Not Collect

We do not require account creation, do not ask for payment information, and the itinerary planner does not send your selections to any server. We do not sell personal information, because we do not collect personal information through the planning tool in the first place.

Hosting and Technical Logs

Like virtually all websites, this site is served by a hosting provider, which may automatically process standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) as part of normal web server operation and security monitoring. We do not directly access or analyze this data for marketing purposes as of this policy's publication date.

Contact Form and Email

If you email us through the address on our contact page, we receive and retain that correspondence, including your email address and whatever information you choose to include, in order to respond to you. We do not use contact emails for marketing and do not share them with third parties.

Cookies

This site does not currently use cookies for advertising or tracking. See our cookies policy for details on browser storage used by the itinerary planner, which is a related but distinct mechanism from cookies.

Future Changes

If we add advertising, analytics, or any other third-party service that collects data about visitors, we will update this policy before that service goes live to describe what's collected and how it's used, consistent with applicable requirements including those for services like Google services.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
