1. Introduction

Welcome to our kayak and canoe rental finder ("Service"). Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Data Collection

We do not require users to create accounts or provide personal information. However, we collect limited data through the following:

  • Google Analytics (GA4): We use GA4 to collect anonymous usage data such as page views, referral sources, and interactions with rental locations.
  • Local Storage: We store user-selected favorites locally on your browser. This data is not sent to our servers.

3. Data Usage

The data we collect is used for improving the usability of our website, understanding which rental locations receive the most interest, and providing a personalized experience through localstorage-based favorites. We do not share this data with third parties.

4. Google Analytics & Cookies

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to analyze website traffic. Google may collect data such as your IP address and interactions with the site. You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool.

5. Data Storage

We do not store personal data on our servers. Any favorite locations saved by users are stored in their browser's localstorage and are not accessible by us.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we do not collect personal data, you can clear your browser's localstorage to remove saved favorites.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
