Overview of personal data processing

Geopeitus NGO protects the privacy of its website users. We always follow the principles of transparency and minimization in the processing of your personal data. Based on this, we have developed this Privacy Policy which governs the collection, use, disclosure, transfer and storage of data. Our activities on the Internet are in accordance with all relevant activities and relevant European Union legislation and the laws of the Republic of Estonia.

Collection and Use of Personal Data

Personal Data is data, which is directly or indirectly associated with a private person and is collected and processed by Geopeitus NGO in respect of persons registered as users on the Geopeitus website.

Personal data are collected in the following ways:

• On a voluntary basis, it is possible to provide additional personal data and other information on your profile page that is only visible to logged-in users.

Collection of other data

We also collect non-personalized statistics that are anonymous and cannot be used to identify named users (language preference, location).

Use and storage of personal data collected

With the personal information we collect, we can send you notification emails about your cache visits, cache publications and such. If you wish to receive notification emails of published caches, you can mark this on your profile page.

Your first and last name will be visible on your profile page to other logged in users. It is also possible to search for a user's profile by their first and/or last name under Search Users page. Your first and last name is also shown in the chart where total number of caches found are listed for each user.

The information that you voluntarily enter on your profile page (phone number, Skype account) will be shown to other logged in users and is intended to allow other users to contact you on the desired channel if necessary. Your email address is hidden from other users unless you have allowed your email address to be displayed on your profile page.

You can also enter the coordinates of your home on your profile page if you wish. This allows other users to see in which area you mainly play geocaching. Once you have entered these coordinates, the cache list shows you how far caches are from your home.

You can reset your password on Forgot the Password page, in which case a new password will be sent to the email address stored in your profile.
