Information we use
Our host, Vercel, may process IP addresses, browser information, request timestamps, and operational logs to serve and secure the site. When you purchase, PayPal handles the payment and may share an order ID, transaction status, amount, and payer information with the seller. The website uses transaction identifiers and payment status to confirm your entitlement to a download. We do not collect or store payment card details.
Essential cookies
Checkout uses a signed, secure cookie to connect your browser with its PayPal order for up to one hour. After confirmation, a second signed cookie enables downloads for up to 48 hours. They are used only for purchase delivery and fraud prevention. The site has no advertising cookies, third-party analytics, or marketing tracking installed at launch. PayPal operates its own cookies and privacy controls on its website.
Support email
If you email us, the message and information you provide are processed by our email provider, Google, so we can answer your request. Include only what is necessary. Support correspondence may be retained while resolving an issue and as needed for transaction records or legal obligations. PayPal maintains its own financial records under its policies.
Why and with whom
We process information to fulfill purchases, provide support, protect against misuse, and meet applicable obligations. Where a legal basis is required, these purposes may rely on contract performance, legitimate interests in service security, or legal obligations. Service providers include Vercel for hosting, PayPal for payment, and Google for email. They may process information internationally. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising.
Retention and your choices
Purchase cookies expire automatically. The downloadable file is not a personal-data record. Operational and payment records are retained according to provider settings and applicable requirements. You may request access, correction, or deletion of information we control by email. Applicable law may limit deletion of required financial records; requests concerning PayPal-held data may also need to be directed to PayPal.
External links and changes
Map and official visitor links take you to services with their own policies. This guide is intended for general adult travel planning; we do not knowingly collect children’s personal information. We may revise this policy as the service changes and will show the updated date here.
