Website delivery and security
Cloudflare delivers and protects this website. Like most web infrastructure, it processes request information such as IP address, requested URL, traffic-routing data, browser or system information, and security signals. We use this processing only to deliver, cache, secure and diagnose the site.
Launch notification form
If you ask to be notified when the app launches, we send your email address, this site’s name and the form’s page placement to PostHog EU Cloud. We use that information only to maintain the launch list and send the promised one-time notification. The form does not set analytics cookies or create a persistent visitor profile.
We keep the address until the launch notification is sent, you ask us to delete it, or the launch list is no longer needed. We review outstanding signups at least once a year and delete addresses we no longer need.
Email you choose to send us
If you email us, we receive your email address, message, headers and anything you attach. Cloudflare Email Routing forwards the message to a verified support inbox. We use it to answer the request, correct the guide, handle accessibility feedback or meet legal obligations.
Do not send passport, payment-card or health information. Messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed for the conversation, security and legal obligations, then deleted or anonymised.
Affiliate links
Booking through these links supports this free guide at no extra cost to you. Affiliate URLs include our partner identifier and a placement label. We do not receive your booking or payment details from this website.
The Experiences page embeds GetYourGuide’s catalogue. Opening that page connects your browser to GetYourGuide so it can provide current activities, prices and availability; it receives ordinary request information and may process data under its own privacy notice.
When you select a marked affiliate link, we send one cookie-free affiliate_click event to PostHog EU Cloud so we can understand which placements support this guide. It contains this site’s name, the current page path, the affiliate, placement, and destination host and path. It uses a new random identifier for that single event, creates no visitor profile, and does not track page views or sessions. PostHog also receives ordinary connection data, such as your IP address, to deliver and secure the request.
We use this limited measurement only to assess and improve the guide’s affiliate funding. We keep the events only while they are needed to compare placement performance, then delete or aggregate them.
When you follow a GetYourGuide link, you leave this site and GetYourGuide and the activity provider process information under their own terms.
Read GetYourGuide’s privacy policy .
Kiwitaxi transfer links use a Travelpayouts tracking redirect before opening Kiwitaxi. Travelpayouts and Kiwitaxi process ordinary request and booking information under their own terms.
Your choices and rights
You can choose not to submit the notification form or follow an affiliate link, and you can ask us to remove your launch-notification email at any time. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict personal information, object to some processing, or complain to a data-protection authority. Email us to exercise a right. We may need enough information to verify and complete the request.
