Privacy Policy

This page explains what data is involved when you read freethingstodoinbilbao.com, which outside services touch that data, and how to ask about it or have it deleted.

What This Site Collects

This site is a set of static pages hosted on Cloudflare, which processes requests and may keep standard server logs. There is no contact form, no account, no newsletter, no comments and no registration here, so none of your details pass through those routes. The site shows no advertising and sets no advertising cookies of its own. What remains is the small set of technical services described below.

The pages load Google Analytics 4 and map tiles from OpenStreetMap, each covered in its own section. Bookings never touch us. This site operates no tours, takes no bookings, handles no payments and sells nothing, so your reservation, your details and any tip you give a guide all stay on GuruWalk or freetour.com, where the walk's own page lives.

Analytics And Cookies

The pages load Google Analytics 4, the Google tag, to measure aggregate visits and clicks on outbound GuruWalk and freetour.com links. When an outbound link is clicked, the event records the link address, the link text and the page path. Google Analytics may set cookies. This gives a picture of which pages and links get used, in aggregate, and that is the whole of the measurement.

You are not obliged to be counted. Blocking cookies in your browser, or blocking the Google tag with an extension, stops it. Beyond this tag, the site runs no tracking of its own. No advertising runs here. What Google does with that data is governed by Google's own privacy policy.

Maps And Third-Party Requests

Maps are drawn with Leaflet using OpenStreetMap map tiles. To display one, your browser requests tiles straight from OpenStreetMap servers, and those servers see your IP address. From that moment the request belongs to OpenStreetMap and sits under its privacy policy, not ours. We do not operate those servers.

The static pages themselves are hosted on Cloudflare, which processes the requests that fetch them and may keep standard server logs as part of normal hosting. That is the ordinary plumbing of serving a website. The technical services involved in these pages are the ones named on this page: Cloudflare for hosting, Google Analytics for measurement, OpenStreetMap for map tiles.

Links To Other Sites

Every booking happens on the walk's own page on GuruWalk or freetour.com. Click through and that site's own privacy policy governs everything after, from any account you open to the reservation itself. The links from this site carry a referral code, so if you reserve a walk after following one, the platform may pay this site a commission at no extra cost to you.

The price model does not change because of the link. A walk is free, and at the end the walker gives the guide what they think it was worth. That tip goes to the guide, not to this site. Any commission comes from the platform's side of the transaction, never from your pocket.

Email You Send Us

The one contact route is email: info@freethingstodoinbilbao.com. No form, no login, no mailing list sits behind it. If you write, your email is used only to answer it, and no other use is made of the message or the address it came from. There is nothing to unsubscribe from, because nothing is ever sent out.

Replies are the beginning and end of the arrangement. There are no accounts to attach an email to and no comments published, so an exchange leaves nothing behind on the site itself. If you would like to know what email data is held about you, or you want it deleted, the next section sets out exactly how to ask.

Your Choices And Rights

Wherever you are, in the EU or elsewhere, you can write to info@freethingstodoinbilbao.com to ask what email data is held about you and to ask for it to be deleted. That address is the only channel, so a plain email is all it takes. You may also complain to your local data protection authority if you are unhappy with how your data is handled.

The technical side stays in your hands too. Your browser can block the Google Analytics cookies, and following a tour link is always your choice, because the same walks are listed on GuruWalk and freetour.com themselves. Reading this site requires no account, no login and no personal detail.
