Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Welcome to Aktivmap.de. We take your privacy seriously and comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Data Controller

2. Geolocation Data

Our website provides location-based features to help you find adventure activities near you. When you click on "Use my location", your browser requests access to your GPS coordinates.

• Purpose: To calculate the distance between your current position and the activity locations listed on our map.
• Storage & Processing: This data is processed locally on your device using browser APIs and is not stored on our servers.
• Consent: You can revoke this permission at any time through your browser settings.

3. Server Log Files

The hosting provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. These include:

• IP address (anonymized)
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Time of the server request

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the legitimate interest of ensuring website security, stability, and error analysis.

4. Local Storage

We use Local Storage technology (via locationManager.loadLocationFromStorage()) to save your last searched or set location. This ensures a consistent user experience when you return to the site.

• Legal Basis: This storage is strictly necessary to provide the service requested by the user (Art. 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG / § 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 TTDSG).
• Control: This data remains strictly on your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Deletion: You can delete this information at any time by clearing your browser cache or site data (Local Storage).

5. Third-Party Services & External Content

To ensure your privacy, we minimize external connections, but some services require third-party integration:

• Google Fonts / Material Symbols: All fonts used on this site are hosted locally on our own servers. No data is shared with Google for font rendering.
• Google Maps: We use the Google Maps API to display interactive maps. This service is only loaded after you provide explicit consent via our cookie banner.
  Note: Loading Google Maps may result in Google collecting data such as your IP address and loading external assets (like "Roboto" fonts) directly from their servers.

6. Your Rights

As a user residing in the EU, you have the following rights under GDPR:

• Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR): You can ask what data we have about you.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You can request corrections to your data.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You can request the "Right to be forgotten".
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): You can object to data processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR): You have the right to withdraw your consent for data processing (e.g., for Google Maps or analytics) at any time with effect for the future. You can do this by clicking the "Manage cookies" button or clearing your browser data.

7. SSL Encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as your location preferences. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" and the lock icon in the browser address bar.
