Privacy policy

Who processes your data

David Sousa Conde, Tax ID (NIF) not yet published, address: Rúa Julio Sexto, 17, 1.º B, 36770 O Rosal (Pontevedra). Email: [email protected].

What data is collected and what for

Your email address, only if you type it into one of the forms on this website, to send you what that form says: the weekly guide before you set off, an email the day before you arrive in Santiago, the arrival sheet or a notice if a page changes. Depending on the form, also your departure or arrival date and the route you’ve chosen, so I can send you the right thing at the right time.

The legal basis is your consent (art. 6.1.a GDPR), which you give by ticking the box on the form. You can withdraw it at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email or by writing to me. Unsubscribing is free.

Who else sees your data

Your email and what you choose on the form are stored in this website's database at Cloudflare (Cloudflare D1), which also serves the website and stores the anonymous statistics and reports. I send you the emails from [email protected] through Gmail (Google) and Hostalia's mail server. I do not sell or share your email with anyone.

How long

Until you unsubscribe. There’s just one arrival email, the day before, plus a notice if something changes that affects you; the weekly ones stop on the day you set off.

Your rights

Access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability: email me at [email protected]. If you think I haven’t dealt with your request properly, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).

Cookies and storage

This website doesn’t use tracking or advertising cookies. It stores on your phone (the browser’s local storage) what you choose: the phase you’re in, your departure and arrival dates, your route and stage, and the downloaded weather forecast, so the website works without signal. That never leaves your phone and it’s deleted if you clear your browser data. The fonts are hosted on this same website. To count visits it uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which according to Cloudflare “does not collect or use visitors’ personal data”.

Links with commission

Some links (marked “affiliate link”) go through Travelpayouts, the affiliate platform that pays me the commission if you buy. When you tap one, your browser goes to tp.media / tpk.lv and then to the brand’s website; those websites may use their own cookies to know you came from here. This website does not load any Travelpayouts code while you browse it.

Website usage statistics

To know what works and what is missing, the site anonymously records which pages are opened, which buttons and links are tapped, which options are chosen in the tools (for example, the arrival time or the distance on the albergue map), how long people stay on each page and which website they come from. It uses no cookies, does not store your IP address or your location, and never records what you type in text or email fields. To count visitors without identifying you, it uses a code calculated each day that cannot be linked back to you; it changes the next day. It also stores the country (based on the network) and whether you use a phone or a computer. This data is stored with Cloudflare (D1 database) and deleted after 13 months.

Reports and questions you send me

If you use “Spotted something wrong?” or “Ask me”, I keep the text you write, the page you send it from and, only if you add it, your email so I can reply. I use it to check and improve the site. I delete the message once it’s resolved, and within a year at most. Don’t write personal data in the text.

Weather forecast

The forecast is provided by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway, CC BY 4.0 licence). When the website requests it, your browser connects to api.met.no and that service sees your IP address.

The albergue map uses OpenStreetMap maps. When you open it, your browser connects to tile.openstreetmap.org and that service sees your IP address. If you tap “Use my location”, your position is used only inside your phone to work out the kilometres: it is not sent anywhere or stored.
