Privacy Policy

When you add a barrier or good practice to the map, we store what you send: the title, description, location, photos and, if you give them, your name and email. Your name and email are only seen by our moderators and are never published. Photos are re-saved by our server, which removes hidden data such as GPS position and camera details.

To stop the same visitor from sending too many entries, we keep a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address for one hour. It cannot be turned back into your address.

The map background is loaded from OpenFreeMap, and searching for an address sends the search words to OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Your browser connects to these services directly, so they see your IP address. Your chosen language (EN, PT or IT) is remembered in a cookie called ict_lang. Showing your position on the map happens only in your browser and is never sent to us.

You can ask us to send you, or delete, the name and email linked to your entries at any time.
