Your Privacy on Amsterdam Guide

We collect the absolute minimum amount of data needed to keep Amsterdam Guide available, secure, and working properly. Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure creates standard server logs. These logs may temporarily include your IP address, browser user agent, request time, visited URL, and basic technical details. We use this information only for abuse prevention, security monitoring, spam protection, and troubleshooting technical issues. We do not use server logs to identify ordinary readers, create personal profiles, or monitor your reading habits beyond what is necessary to protect and operate the website.

Amsterdam Guide does not use third-party advertising trackers, retargeting pixels, behavioral advertising tools, or invasive marketing cookies. We do not share or sell personal data to data brokers, advertising networks, or cross-site profiling services. Any cookies used by amsterdamreview.com are limited to essential site functionality, such as security, session stability, or basic technical preferences required for the website to work. We do not use cookies to follow you after you leave our site.

To understand which pages are useful to readers, we use Plausible Analytics, Community Edition. Plausible is a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not create persistent personal identifiers. It helps us measure overall traffic, popular pages, referral sources, and general usage trends in aggregate. We use this information to improve Amsterdam Guide, not to profile individual visitors. There is no cross-site tracking, no behavioral advertising, and no personal browsing history attached to you.

Server logs that may contain IP addresses are kept only for a short operational period, typically 14 to 30 days, unless we need to retain a specific entry longer to investigate abuse, fraud, spam, or a security incident. Aggregate analytics data from Plausible does not contain personal information and may be kept for longer to understand long-term site trends. If you email or message us directly, we keep that correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, resolve your request, and maintain appropriate records.

You may request access to any personal data we hold about you. You may also ask us to correct inaccurate information or delete your personal data from our systems. Because Amsterdam Guide collects very little personal data and does not build cross-site profiles, most requests are straightforward to handle. We will respond without unnecessary delay and will explain clearly if we cannot complete a request for a legitimate legal, security, or technical reason.

If you have questions about this privacy page or want to exercise your access, correction, or erasure rights, email us at [email protected]. We aim to respond to privacy-related inquiries promptly and transparently. This page explains the editorial and operational privacy practices of Amsterdam Guide in plain English. It is editorial guidance, not legal advice — consult qualified counsel for your jurisdiction if you need formal legal guidance.
