Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Spott (“Spott,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with this website, spottguide.com. We built Spott to be privacy-minded by design, and this policy reflects that commitment.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you contact us — for example, by emailing support@spottguide.com or asking to receive updates — we receive the email address you use and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you and, if you asked, to send you occasional updates about Spott.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect basic technical and usage information when you visit, such as your browser type, device type, referring pages, the pages you view, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. We use this to understand how the site is used, to keep it secure, and to improve it.

How we use information

• To respond to your inquiries and provide the information you request.
• To send you updates about Spott, but only if you have asked us to.
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve this website.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect against misuse.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate the site (for example, hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers), and only as needed for them to perform those services on our behalf. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Spott and others.

Cookies and analytics

We use a limited set of cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand site usage and improve the experience. Google Analytics may receive information such as pages visited, device/browser information, approximate location, and IP address. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality.

The Spott app

The Spott mobile app is covered by our App Privacy Policy at https://www.spottguide.com/privacy.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, to opt out of certain processing, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights (including under the GDPR and the CCPA). To make a request, email us at support@spottguide.com and we will respond as required by applicable law.

Children's privacy

Spott is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated through the website or, where appropriate, the app.
