Visiting this website

Cloudflare hosts and delivers this website. When you visit, Cloudflare processes technical request data, including your IP address and information about traffic to and from the website. This supports delivery, availability and network security. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functioning website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cloudflare operates an international network and may process data outside the European Economic Area. Its data processing addendum describes the applicable transfer safeguards, including standard contractual clauses. Further information is available in Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Cookies and external content

You, Me, Away itself has no advertising or analytics scripts, contact forms, comments or externally hosted fonts. Any cookies required by Cloudflare’s security services serve technical security purposes.

Embedded Instagram posts

Instagram spots guides and selected directory pages embed Instagram posts. When you open a page containing them, your browser automatically loads the posts from Instagram, a Meta service, including posts further down the page. Your browser sends request data, including your IP address, to Instagram. Meta may use cookies and associate the request with an Instagram account if you are signed in.

Collapsing a group of examples hides its posts, but the embedded frames remain on the page. Data already transmitted cannot be recalled this way. Reloading the page loads the posts again. Read Meta’s privacy policy for its processing and international transfer information.

Maps

The world atlas uses map data from Natural Earth and place data from GeoNames. The atlas data is delivered by this website. The atlas itself does not connect to those providers.

Some Instagram spots guides contain an embedded map from OpenStreetMap. When your browser loads the embedded map, it automatically requests the map and its tiles from OpenStreetMap services. Depending on your browser, this can happen before the map is visible. The requests include your IP address and browser information and may include information about the referring page, depending on your browser. The OpenStreetMap Foundation may use service providers to deliver its services. See the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy and OpenStreetMap attribution and licensing information.

Google Maps links open Google’s website when you follow them. Google Maps are not embedded on this website.

Contact by email

If you email us, we process your address, message and any information you provide to respond to your request. Our email service is Google Workspace. Depending on the request, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for steps relating to a contract, or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for our legitimate interest in answering enquiries.

Messages are retained for as long as the enquiry requires, or for any applicable legal retention period. Google may process service data internationally. See Google’s cloud privacy notice for information about service data, and its data processing addendum for customer data such as message content.

Your rights

Where the GDPR applies, you can request access, correction, erasure or restriction of your personal data, and data portability where its conditions are met. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact the address above to exercise these rights.

You can also complain to a data protection supervisory authority. For the operator’s location, this is Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen.
