What happens when you visit this site

  • Server logs: the web server stores technical data of each request (IP address, time, page requested, browser) for at most 14 days to keep the site running and secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • No tracking: the public pages use no analytics or advertising services and set no cookies unless you sign in. Fonts are served from our own server.
  • View counter: when you open a place or guide, the page tells our server once. To count each visitor only once every six hours we keep a keyed hash of your IP address for six hours; the address itself is not stored and no cookie is set (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • Instagram stories and posts: stories and posts of @namiatik are copied to our server, so viewing them on SmartBali sends nothing to Instagram. Stories are deleted after 24 hours.
  • Map: the map on the "Map" page and on place pages loads map tiles from OpenStreetMap (OpenStreetMap Foundation, UK), which transmits your IP address to their servers.
  • External links: links to Google Maps, Instagram or places' websites lead to third-party services. Their privacy policies apply only once you click them.
  • Authors: people who write for SmartBali have an account in the admin area, which sets a sign-in cookie in the admin area only.

Member accounts

  • What we store: your name, e-mail address, password (only as a scrypt hash, never readable), optionally your Instagram handle and the note you wrote when joining. Your name, Instagram handle and comments are public; your e-mail address is never shown.
  • Why: to run your account, approve it, let you like and comment, and send you the mails the account needs (confirmation, approval, password links, security notices) (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • Sign-in cookie: signing in sets one strictly necessary cookie that keeps you signed in for up to 30 days. We store only a hash of it, so you can see and end every session in your account.
  • Security log: sign-ins, failed attempts and account changes are logged with a keyed hash of the IP address, to stop break-in attempts (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Entries are deleted after 12 months.
  • Breach check: when you choose a password, the first five characters of its SHA-1 hash are compared with the Have I Been Pwned database. Your password and e-mail address never leave our server.
  • Mail: account mails are sent through our mailbox at Titan (Flock FZ-LLC).
  • Deleting: you can delete your account in your account settings at any time. Your likes and comments are deleted with it.
