Legal Notice & Privacy Policy

1. Legal Notice (Impressum)

Website Purpose: This is a private, non-commercial informational website providing travel and general information about Thailand. There is no intention of generating profit.


2. Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is important to me. As this is a private project, I aim to collect as little data as possible.

Data Collection & Processing

This website does not provide user accounts, contact forms, or newsletter subscriptions. No personal data is actively requested (e.g., via forms). However, anonymized technical and usage data may be processed for analytics and security purposes.

Self-Hosting & Server Log Files

This website is self-hosted on a private server located in Thailand. When you visit this website, the server automatically stores technical information in log files:

  • IP address (anonymized or masked where possible)
  • Date and time of access
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Referrer URL (the page you came from)

Legal Basis: The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate Interest) to ensure the technical operation and security of the self-hosted infrastructure. As the server is located in Thailand, data processing also complies with the Thai Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

Content Delivery & Security (Cloudflare)

To bridge the technical requirements of a dynamic IP address and to protect the server from cyberattacks, I use Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA).

Traffic to this website is routed through a "Cloudflare Tunnel". Cloudflare may process log data and set technically necessary cookies (e.g., to identify bots) to ensure website security. Data transfer to the USA is secured by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

Web Analytics (Matomo)

This website uses Matomo, a privacy-friendly web analytics platform, which is self-hosted on the same server.

Matomo is configured in a privacy-focused way:

  • IP addresses are anonymized (IP masking)
  • No data is shared with third parties
  • Tracking is used solely for statistical analysis of website usage

The collected data may include:

  • Anonymized IP address
  • Visited pages
  • Referrer URL
  • Browser and device information
  • Date, time and duration of visit

Legal Basis: Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest), as the analysis helps to improve the website and understand usage patterns.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access: You can ask what data is stored.
  • Correction/Erasure: You can request to fix or delete your data.
  • Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (e.g., the UODO in Poland).

Changes to this Policy

I reserve the right to update this policy to reflect technical changes or updates in legal requirements.
