Email: info@barhoppers.guideGeneral Information
We only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functional platform and deliver our content and services.
Personal data is processed either on a legal basis (Art. 6(1)(a), (b), (f) GDPR) or based on your explicit consent.
Use of App and Website
You can use Barhopper’s Guide without registering. In that case, only technical data is processed that is required for the display and security of the app or website (e.g. IP address, device information, access time).
Some features (e.g. favorites, check-ins, photo uploads) require a user account. In that case, we store your email address and, if provided, additional profile information such as profile picture or location data.
Registration and User Account
The following data is stored upon registration:
- Email address
- Password (encrypted)
- Time of registration and last login
Additional profile information may be added optionally.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of contract).
User Content (Check-ins, Photos, Reviews)
If you upload content (e.g. photos, reviews, check-ins), we process:
- the uploaded material (e.g. images)
- timestamp of upload
- reference to the related bar
- optional: location and rating data
Please note that uploaded content may be publicly visible.
Legal Basis for Processing
Processing is based on:
- performance of our services (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR),
- your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR),
- our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), e.g. to prevent abuse, measure reach, and improve the service.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Content
Our platform contains affiliate links, e.g. to Amazon. Clicking such links may involve third-party cookies and transmission of personal data (e.g. IP address, referrer). Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We also use third-party content such as:
– Google Maps / Apple Maps (for maps)
– Instagram (linked content)Payment Providers (future use)
If we introduce paid features, payment providers such as Stripe or PayPal may be used. Their respective privacy policies apply. Your payment data will only be shared when initiating a transaction.
Cookies and Analytics
We do not set cookies for analytics.
To see how many people visit our website and which pages they read, we use an analytics tool run by Nightly Build Group (analytics-collect.nightlybuildgroup.com). For each page you open, it records the address of the page, the page you came from, your screen width, the campaign parameters in the link (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign), how long the page was visible, and clicks on links to other websites and on downloads. The tool receives no data from your user account.
To tell one visit from the next, the tool keeps a random ID in your browser’s session storage, together with the campaign parameters of the link that brought you here, if it had any. Both are sent with everything the tool records during that visit. Your browser usually deletes them when you close the tab. After 30 minutes without activity a new ID is created, so the ID cannot recognize you on a later visit. As with every request on the internet, the analytics server receives your IP address and your browser’s user agent (browser and operating system with their versions).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of our website).
Storage Duration and Deletion
We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the stated purposes or as required by law.
You can delete your user account at any time. All related data will be deleted unless legal obligations require otherwise.

You have the right to:
- Access (Art. 15 GDPR)

- Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
