The short version. This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from third parties — with one opt-in exception: the hazard map can show a detailed street map from OpenFreeMap, and it only does so if you say yes. That is the one question you will be asked, and saying no is as easy as saying yes. The only personal data involved is the IP address our hosting provider logs to serve the page (plus the request data OpenFreeMap receives if you turn on the street map), and anything you choose to write to us by email.
1. What this page covers
This notice explains how personal data is handled when you visit dangershere.com, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation 2016/679) and the Danish Data Protection Act (databeskyttelsesloven).
The Dangers Here mobile and watch apps are covered by a separate document: the app privacy policy.
2. Data controller
The data controller (dataansvarlig) for this website is:
Rolf Petersen, trading as Goslingstorm
Roskilde, Denmark
Email: goslingstorm@protonmail.com
Write to that address with any question about this notice or about your personal data. We are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under GDPR Article 37 and have not appointed one, so enquiries go straight to the controller.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
This website stores nothing on your device and reads nothing from it. Specifically, it uses:
- No cookies — not necessary ones, not statistical ones, not marketing ones.
- Two local-storage entries, on the map page only. When you answer the street-map question, your answer (“street” or “simple”) is saved in your browser under
dh-map-baseso you are not asked again; if you pick light or dark map colours, that choice is saved underdh-map-theme. They hold nothing else, are never sent to us or anyone else, and disappear when you clear this site’s data. No session storage or IndexedDB. - Your location stays on your device. If you tap Near me on the map, your browser asks your permission and then gives the page your position. It is used only inside your browser to find nearby hazard zones and is never sent to us or anyone else.
- No analytics — no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no server-side page-view counter.
- No tracking pixels, advertising tags, social-media buttons or embedded videos.
- No externally hosted fonts, scripts or stylesheets. Every asset on this site is served from dangershere.com itself, so your browser contacts no other company while reading it. The only exception is the optional street map described below, and only after you choose it.
Danish law (Executive Order no. 1148 of 9 December 2011, the “cookie order”) requires consent before information is stored on or read from your equipment. The only thing stored is your own street-map answer, which is kept because you asked for it and is therefore exempt from consent. Loading the street map from a third party is something we ask you about first, with reject as easy as accept.
Optional street map (OpenFreeMap)
The hazard map (currently offline) works entirely from dangershere.com by default, showing coastlines and borders only. If you choose Show street map, your browser loads map tiles, fonts and icons directly from OpenFreeMap (tiles.openfreemap.org) to show streets and place names. OpenFreeMap then receives your IP address, your browser’s standard request data, and which part of the map you are looking at. We receive none of this.
According to OpenFreeMap’s privacy policy, it sets no cookies and uses no tracking, keeps only anonymised logs without IP addresses, and turns on IP logging only temporarily to investigate abuse, deleting those logs within 30 days.
You can withdraw at any time with the layers button on the map, which switches back to the simple map and stops all requests to OpenFreeMap. Choosing Keep simple map means OpenFreeMap is never contacted.
The app is different: it shows non-personalised ads through Google AdMob. That is described in the app privacy policy and does not apply to this website.
4. What is processed when you visit
| Data | Why | Legal basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| IP address, browser user-agent, requested page, date and time — logged by our hosting provider | Delivering the page to you and protecting the service against abuse and attack | Legitimate interest, GDPR Art. 6(1)(f): operating a functioning and secure website | By the host, on its own schedule. We have no access to these logs and keep no copy. |
| Your email address, name and whatever you write, if you contact us | Reading and answering your message | Legitimate interest, GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) — or Art. 6(1)(c) where the message is a request under Articles 15–22, which we are obliged to answer | Until the matter is closed, then deleted — normally within 12 months. Correspondence about a legal request may be kept longer as documentation. |
| IP address, request data and the map area you view — received by OpenFreeMap, only if you turn on the street map | Showing streets and place names on the hazard map | Consent, GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) — given with the Show street map button, withdrawn with the layers button | By OpenFreeMap, per its privacy policy. We have no access and keep no copy. |
There are no forms, no newsletter, no comment field and no login on this website. Nothing else is collected. Providing personal data is entirely voluntary; the site is fully readable without giving us anything, and not contacting us has no consequences other than not getting a reply.
5. Recipients and processors
| Who | Role | What they get |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub, Inc. (a Microsoft company) Privacy statement |
Hosting — the site runs on GitHub Pages | Your IP address and standard request data. GitHub states that a visitor's IP address is logged and stored for security purposes on every GitHub Pages visit. |
| Proton AG, Switzerland Privacy policy |
Email provider for our contact address | The content of any email you send us, and its metadata. |
| OpenFreeMap Privacy policy |
Map tile service for the optional street map — only after you choose it | Your IP address, standard request data and the map area you view. |
Personal data is never sold, rented or handed to advertisers, data brokers or anyone else, and is disclosed to public authorities only where Danish or EU law obliges us to.
6. Transfers outside the EU/EEA
GitHub is established in the United States, a country without a general EU adequacy decision. GitHub's Data Protection Agreement incorporates the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, which is the transfer safeguard relied on under GDPR Article 46(2)(c). You may request a copy of the relevant clauses at the contact address above.
Proton is established in Switzerland, which the European Commission has recognised as providing an adequate level of protection, so no additional safeguard is needed for that transfer.
7. Your rights
Under GDPR Articles 15–22 you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you, and receive a copy.
- Rectification of data that is wrong or incomplete.
- Erasure — the “right to be forgotten”.
- Restriction of processing in certain cases.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest, including at any time and for reasons relating to your particular situation.
- Data portability for data you have provided, where processing is based on consent or a contract.
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing rests on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of what happened before. The only consent we rely on is your choice to load the street map; withdraw it with the layers button on the map.
You are not subject to automated decision-making or profiling on this website, within the meaning of GDPR Article 22.
To exercise any of these rights, email goslingstorm@protonmail.com. We reply without undue delay and at the latest within one month, as required by Article 12(3). In practice we hold almost nothing about you: we operate no database of visitors, so an access request will usually return only our email correspondence with you, if any.
8. Complaints
If you believe your personal data is being handled unlawfully, you are welcome to contact us first — but you always have the right to complain directly to the Danish supervisory authority:
Datatilsynet
Carl Jacobsens Vej 35, 2500 Valby, Denmark
Phone: +45 33 19 32 00
Email: dt@datatilsynet.dk
Web: datatilsynet.dk
Complaints specifically about cookies and other tracking technology on Danish websites are handled by Digitaliseringsstyrelsen (the Danish Agency for Digital Government), digst.dk.
9. Children
This website is not directed at children and collects nothing from them. It carries general information about an app and contains no interactive features.
10. Security
The site is served exclusively over HTTPS. It is a static website with no database, no server-side code and no user input, which removes most of the risk of a data breach affecting visitors. Should a breach nevertheless occur and pose a risk to your rights, we will notify Datatilsynet within 72 hours in accordance with GDPR Article 33, and notify affected individuals where Article 34 requires it.
11. Changes to this notice
If the way this website handles data changes, this page is updated and the date at the top is revised. The current version always applies.
