Privacy and data protection

What the form transmits

When you send the form, it passes on the name you entered, the contact details you chose to give and your message: which place, what should change, where it can be checked and how you know the place. The address and language of the page you wrote from are added. A hidden field that people do not see is there only to stop automated spam.

What messages are used for

Messages are stored by a form service and read together at the next revision of the directory. They are used only to check and apply what you report, and you receive a reply only if you ask for one and leave a contact. Names and contact details are never published, sold or passed on to the club, venue or organiser concerned; a correction shown on the site describes the change, not the person who sent it.

How visits are counted

Visits are counted by a script served from this site's own domain. It sets no cookie and does not follow anyone across other sites. For each page view it records the page, the page that linked to it, and the browser, device type and country derived from the request; these figures are only ever looked at as totals.

No third-party services

The site loads no advertising, social media or other third-party tracking code, and no external fonts, map tiles or images. A link to a source or a map takes you to another website with its own privacy rules. The host that delivers these pages processes technical data such as IP addresses only as far as delivery requires.

Your rights under the GDPR

You may ask for a message you sent to be erased or corrected, or for information about what is stored: write again through the form with the same name and contact and say what you would like done. The request is carried out in the form service when messages are next read. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the one of the German Land or the country where you live.
