Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Information you submit directly, including your first name, email address, selected team/country, marketing consent choice, and the page URL tied to your signup.
• Basic technical information that our hosting and service providers may receive automatically, such as browser type, device information, IP address, and referring pages.

How We Use Information

We use information we collect to:

• Send the free map, newsletter updates, and other marketing emails you asked for.
• Operate, secure, and improve the website and its signup flows.
• Understand what readers care about so we can create more useful guides and relevant local recommendations.

How We Share Information

• Analytics, affiliate, or linked third-party services when you choose to interact with them.
• Authorities or advisers when disclosure is required to comply with law or protect our rights.

Cookies And Similar Technologies

The site uses local storage to remember if you dismissed the email popup so we do not keep showing it to you on every visit.
