Privacy Policy
GuideAtlas is building a marketplace that connects travelers with independent local guides. This policy explains how we handle personal data, including guide waitlist signups and website analytics.
What We Collect
When you join the guide waitlist, we may collect: your name, email address, city, country, and the type of tours you offer.
Why We Collect It
We collect this information to process your request to become a guide, communicate with you about onboarding, and share product updates relevant to your signup.
Website Analytics
If you consent to analytics cookies, GuideAtlas uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-GGT7XHR7QK) to understand aggregated site usage, such as page views, device type, and traffic sources. We use this information to improve product decisions and user experience.
How Data Is Stored
For the MVP, waitlist submissions are stored in a private Google Sheet accessible only to authorized GuideAtlas administrators and service accounts. We apply reasonable security controls and limit access to the minimum required.
GDPR Legal Basis
We rely on your consent for optional analytics cookies, and on legitimate interest and/or pre-contractual steps for handling guide waitlist and onboarding requests. If the legal basis changes as the product evolves, we will update this policy.
Your Rights (GDPR)
As an EU/EEA user, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion (right to be forgotten)
- Restrict or object to processing
- Request data portability
- Withdraw consent at any time (where applicable)
Data Retention
We keep waitlist data only as long as needed to contact you about onboarding and platform updates, or until you request deletion.
