What we collect

Dive Curated does not require an account, and we do not collect names, payment details, or booking data. Booking itself happens on the operator's or booking platform's own site, under their own privacy policy. We use Umami Analytics (Umami Cloud) to understand how the site is used (pages visited, which booking buttons get clicked). Umami is cookie-less and does not store IP addresses or other personal data that could tie a visit back to an individual, so no consent banner is required for it. We run no advertising cookies or trackers. Our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical data for every visit (IP address, browser type, timestamp, requested page) for security and operational purposes, per Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in keeping the site running securely).

Google reviews, maps and business data

We do not store or publish reviews. On an operator's page you can choose to load Google's own rating and reviews by clicking a button. Only then does your browser connect to Google, which receives your IP address and processes it under its own privacy policy. The legal basis is your consent by clicking, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Links to Google Maps work the same way: Google receives your data only if you open them. Map images on this site are drawn from OpenStreetMap data and hosted by us. Some operator addresses and opening hours came from the Google Places API; where a shop's own website states them, we use that instead. This is public business information, not personal data.

Referral / affiliate links

Links to dive operators and booking platforms may include tracking parameters so the operator or platform can attribute a booking to Dive Curated and pay a referral commission. Once you click through, that site's own privacy policy applies. We don't see or store what happens after you leave this site.

Contact by email

If you email us, we use your address only to reply to you, under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual / contact request). We don't add you to any mailing list.

Your rights

Under GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to object to processing. Contact us at the email above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Changes

As Dive Curated adds features, this policy will be updated and the "last updated" date above will change accordingly.
