Privacy · current site overview

Privacy, with care.

This notice describes the website features currently configured. It does not replace a jurisdiction-specific legal review. Last updated: 8 November 2026.

Who operates Elsewhere

Elsewhere Travel is currently operated by an individual based in Albania, not by a registered company. The operator’s personal legal name and any legally required contact address have not yet been published. Privacy requests can be submitted through our private contact form. This identification section requires further review under applicable law.

Reviews and community submissions

Individual field-guide pages include a public review form powered by Supabase. If you submit a review, the name you choose to display, rating, review text, destination identifier and submission status are sent to Supabase. New reviews are submitted as pending editorial approval; approved names, ratings and review text may be shown publicly alongside a submission date. Do not include contact details or other sensitive personal information in your review. The site owner has confirmed a successful test of review submission, editorial approval and public display. This does not establish that database access policies, anti-spam controls, retention and privacy-request procedures have been independently audited. Applicable retention, legal basis, deletion and international-transfer details still require review.

Contact form messages

When you use our contact form, your name, email address, selected subject and message are submitted to Formspree for delivery to the Elsewhere inbox. Formspree processes these submissions under its own privacy terms. We use the information to respond to inquiries, corrections and privacy requests. Do not submit sensitive personal information.

Information stored in your browser

Saved destinations, itinerary notes, comparison choices and a browser-only visit counter may be stored in local storage on your device. Clearing your browser's site data removes this information. Shared itinerary links include destination identifiers in the URL, which can be seen by anyone who receives the link. The visit counter is a local convenience and is not a verified site-wide audience count.

Newsletter status

The occasional-letter signup is not accepting subscriptions because no delivery provider is connected. The site does not submit newsletter email addresses unless and until an endpoint is configured; any future activation requires an updated privacy notice and a clear subscription and unsubscribe process.

Hosting, analytics and external services

Cloudflare Pages serves the website and Cloudflare Web Analytics is optional and off by default in this site’s code. It is requested only after you enable audience measurement on our cookie page; it provides page-view and loading-performance measurement, not a visitor replay or a custom scroll-depth report. Your browser stores the choice for up to 180 days. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track leave this measurement off. Hosting and security requests still occur independently. The interactive map can request tiles from OpenStreetMap's tile service; some photographs are loaded from Wikimedia Commons or other external image hosts, including Unsplash where used. Providers of external content may receive your IP address, browser request details and referring page. The contact form sends information to Formspree when submitted. Guide pages contain a Supabase-backed public review form and may load approved reviews from Supabase. The owner has tested review submission and approval, but database access rules and abuse controls have not been independently audited. External booking, mapping and search links take you to other providers with their own policies.

Advertising

The site includes a Google AdSense script linked to publisher ID ca-pub-8866690319215291. The script is requested only after a loaded consent callback satisfies the site’s ad-loader check. If it is requested, Google may receive browser and device information. This technical guard does not establish that every applicable consent obligation is satisfied. Site ownership verification and installation of the script do not mean advertisements are approved or currently being displayed. If the publisher enables ads after Google approves the site, Google and its ad technology providers may use cookies, identifiers and personal data to provide and measure advertising, subject to applicable consent choices and law. Elsewhere Travel uses InMobi Choice, an external CMP provider, for European and applicable US consent choices. The CMP code may contact InMobi when a page loads and store consent preferences. The InMobi property is active and available privacy choices can be reopened using the footer link or persistent widget. Its remote SDK still reports a validation warning that remains under review. The old Google Privacy & messaging message should be unpublished to avoid duplicate notices. A complete third-party cookie and network-request audit is still required. See Google’s advertising technologies and our Cookie Policy. Consent controls for unrelated third-party services need separate assessment.

Your choices and rights

You can clear locally saved information through available website controls or browser settings. Depending on applicable privacy law and the circumstances of processing, you may have rights to obtain information, access, correct or erase personal data, object to processing, or submit a complaint to a competent supervisory authority. For privacy requests, use our contact form and select “Privacy request.” Do not send identity documents or other sensitive material through the form unless a secure process is confirmed. The operator's legal identification, applicable lawful bases, retention periods, international data-transfer arrangements and response procedures still require a legal review.

Changes

We will update this notice when services or practices change. See also our cookie information and About Elsewhere.
