Privacy

Last updated 15 October 2026

eventula is a map of public events in Croatia, Cyprus, Poland, Ireland, Austria, Barbados, St. Maarten / St. Martin, Australia and Singapore. There are no accounts and no advertising. Since 13 September 2026 we count visits, in a way that sets no cookie and cannot follow you — what that means exactly is below. We do not build a profile of you, we cannot identify you, and we have nothing to sell about you.

What we collect

Almost nothing. Specifically:

• Your exact location — only if you allow it, and it never leaves your device. When the map loads, your browser may ask permission to share your position so the map can centre on you. If you agree, the coordinates are used in your browser to choose the map centre and sort events by distance. They are not sent to our servers and not logged.
• Your last place — kept on your device only.So the map can open where you were last time instead of a default town, your browser’s local storage keeps the last place the map centred on (your position, a town you picked, or the rough guess below) with its name, for up to a month. It is not a cookie, never reaches us, and is replaced as soon as your browser says where you are now. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes it.
• Towns you picked recently — kept on your device only.The “Where are you?” list shows the last few towns you picked recently, so they are one tap away next time. Only their names are kept, in your browser’s local storage; they never reach us.
• The day of your first visit, for the home-screen tip — kept on your device only.On a phone, eventula suggests keeping it on your home screen, but only from your second day on, so your browser keeps the date of your first visit, and the date you tapped “Not now” or “Show me” so the tip does not come back. They are dates, not an identifier, and never reach us.
• A rough position from your internet connection — worked out on our side, kept by nobody. Most visitors never answer that permission prompt, so the map also asks our own server where the request seems to be coming from. Our host attaches an approximate latitude, longitude and city name to every request, based on your IP address. We read those three values, hand them straight back to your browser, and use them only to decide where the map opens. They are not stored and not written to any log, the response is marked never-cache, and they are forgotten the moment the page has used them. It is a rough guess — town-level at best, and a VPN moves it — which is why the map calls it a guess on screen rather than presenting it as where you are.
• If we can’t tell, we say so. With no permission and no useful guess, the map centres on the nearest area that actually has events and tells you that is what it has done. It never claims to know where you are.
• A theme preference. If you switch between light and dark mode, that choice is saved in your browser’s local storage so the page doesn’t flash on your next visit — and so is whether you turned the map’s weather on. Neither is a cookie, contains an identifier, or reaches us.
• Events you save — kept on your device only.Added 12 October 2026. When you tap “Save” on an event, its name, place, kind, date and page address are kept in your browser’s local storage so the “Saved events” page can list them. Once you have saved a few, the map’s list puts events like them first (“For you”) — worked out in your browser from that same list; if you choose “Sort by distance” instead, that choice is kept there too. A trip you plan on “My trip” — the towns you stay in and your dates — is kept there as well. There is no account: none of this reaches us, we cannot see it, and it does not follow you to another device. Removing an event, or clearing this site’s data in your browser, deletes it.
• Ordinary server logs. Like any website, requests reach our host with an IP address and browser user-agent. Apart from the rough position described above, we do not use these for anything — no profile, no identification, no tracking between visits.
• A count of visits. Added 13 September 2026. For seven weeks this site had no measurement at all, which meant no way to tell whether anyone who arrived found it useful. Vercel Web Analytics now records, for each page viewed: which page, and when; the page you came from, if your browser says (a search engine, say); roughly where the request came from — country, region, sometimes the city; and the kind of device, its operating system and its browser. It sets no cookie, it cannot follow you to another site, and it does not store your IP address. To tell one visit from another it makes a code from the request and throws it away after 24 hours, so the same person tomorrow is not recognisable as the same person today. We see totals, never a person.

We do not use cookies for visitors — the visit counting above sets none. The only cookie this site sets is a login cookie for the operator’s own moderation page, which visitors never see.

Who else is involved

Running the site necessarily involves a few other companies:

• Vercel — hosting, and the visit counting described above (Vercel Web Analytics). Serves the pages and keeps standard request logs. It is also the one that turns an IP address into the approximate town described above; that happens before the request reaches our code.
• Supabase — the database. It stores the event listings themselves, and the small event pictures, which your browser fetches directly from it — so your IP address is visible to it, as with any picture on the web. It holds no visitor data.
• CARTO and OpenStreetMap — map imagery. Your browser fetches map tiles directly from CARTO, so your IP address is visible to them, exactly as it would be with any map on the web.
• Google Maps — only if you click a “Directions” link. That opens Google Maps with the event’s coordinates as the destination, and their privacy policy applies from that point.
• Open-Meteo — only if you turn on the weather (the sun-and-cloud button on the map) or plan a trip. Your browser then asks Open-Meteo, a free weather service, for the forecast at a few TOWN locations near the place the map shows — never your own position. As with any website, Open-Meteo sees your IP address; nothing else about you is sent.
• Google Translate— only if you click “Translate” on an event. That opens Google Translate with the event’s own public text (its name, place and description) and the language your browser prefers. Nothing about you is added by us, and Google’s privacy policy applies from that point.
• Ko-fi— only if you click one of our links to it, such as “Support the project”. That opens our Ko-fi page. Nothing from Ko-fi runs on this site; it is a plain link. If you give something, Ko-fi and its payment providers handle it, and Ko-fi’s privacy policy says what they keep and what they share with us.

Event information

Event listings are collected from publicly published sources — tourist board calendars and similar public pages — and may include the name of a venue or an organiser. That is information those organisations have already published themselves. If you are named in a listing and would like it corrected or removed, email us and we will do it.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to complain to a supervisory authority. In Ireland that is the Data Protection Commission. In practice we hold no personal data about visitors — the one exception is what Ko-fi shares with us if you give something there — so in most cases the honest answer to a request will be that there is nothing on file.
