This privacy policy outlines how MigrantHotels.net handles your data. We are committed to ensuring your privacy and comply with applicable data-protection laws. We also offer the option for anonymous submissions through our contact form, allowing you to use fake details if you wish to maintain your privacy.
OpenStreetMap (OSM): We use OSM for mapping functions. OSM does not store personal data for map embeddings or queries made through our site.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand user interactions with our site. Google Analytics collects data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This helps us improve our website.
Contact Form: We also collect personal information, such as your name and email address, when you use our contact form. This information is sent directly to our email for response purposes and is not stored on the website itself. If you choose to submit anonymously, you may use fake details for your name and email. This option is provided to ensure your privacy when you prefer not to share personal information.
We offer an optional geolocation feature on our map that allows you to find hotels near your current location. This feature only activates when you explicitly click the location button and requests permission through your browser before accessing location data. It uses your device's built-in location services (GPS, WiFi, or cellular triangulation) to determine your position.
Your location data is processed locally in your browser to calculate distances to nearby hotels. We do not store, transmit, or retain your location data on our servers, and your location information is never sent to us or any third parties. All processing happens entirely within your own device.
The geolocation feature is entirely voluntary and can be declined through your browser's permission prompt. You can revoke location permissions at any time through your browser settings. If you prefer not to use this feature, you can manually search for locations using our postcode or town search function instead.
We use cookies for essential site functionality and to track usage via Google Analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings or the cookie-consent banner provided on our site.
Cookie Consent: We provide a consent mechanism where you can explicitly agree to non-essential cookies. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or through our cookie-consent tool.
The data collected through Google Analytics is used solely for site improvement and understanding user demographics without identifying individuals.
Data collected by Google Analytics might be shared with Google, subject to their privacy policies. We do not share this data with other third parties.
We do not retain any personal data from OSM interactions. Data from Google Analytics is retained as per Google's policies; we do not have direct control over this retention.
Contact-Form Data: Data sent via our contact form will be retained only as long as necessary for the purpose of communication, after which it will be securely deleted unless there's a legal obligation to retain it.
Under applicable laws, you have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data held by us or by Google through Analytics if identifiable. You have the right to request data portability, object to processing, restrict processing, and not be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided. Please note that if you submit data anonymously or with fake details, some rights under data-protection laws might not be applicable since the data cannot be identified as pertaining to you.
For questions about our privacy practices, please contact us at howfarfrommydoorstep@proton.me.
This policy might be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or the law. We encourage you to check back regularly.
By using our site, you consent to our data practices as described here.
Data collected by Google Analytics might be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) to Google in the United States. Google provides safeguards for these transfers through mechanisms like the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure compliance with data-protection laws.
