Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-07 18:32:04 UTC

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data may be processed when you visit Istriada.com or contact us.

Data controller

The controller responsible for personal data processed through this website is:

Maxim Eliseev Email: [CONTACT EMAIL]

Information processed when you visit the website

When you access Istriada, the web server may automatically record technical information, including:

  • your IP address;
  • the date and time of the request;
  • the requested page or file;
  • browser and device information;
  • referring page;
  • HTTP status and basic diagnostic information.

These server logs are used to deliver the website, maintain its security, investigate errors and prevent abuse.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website.

Server logs are normally retained only for the period reasonably required for security and technical analysis and are then deleted or anonymised, unless longer retention is necessary to investigate an incident or comply with a legal obligation.

Information you send to us

If you contact Istriada by email, we process your email address, the contents of your message and any other information you choose to provide.

This information is used solely to answer your enquiry, consider a correction or request, protect our legal rights or continue correspondence initiated by you.

Depending on the nature of the message, the legal basis is taking steps at your request, our legitimate interest in responding to correspondence, or compliance with a legal obligation.

Messages are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for their purpose. Correspondence relevant to a legal dispute, copyright matter or continuing editorial issue may be kept for a longer period.

Cookies and analytics

Details of cookies and similar technologies used by Istriada are provided in our Cookie Policy.

Non-essential analytics, advertising or third-party tracking technologies must not be activated for visitors in jurisdictions requiring consent unless the visitor has made the appropriate choice.

Istriada contains links to external websites, which may include tourism organisations, municipalities, map services, restaurants, attractions and accommodation-booking platforms.

When you follow an external link, the destination website becomes responsible for its own processing of personal data. Istriada does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.

Some external links may be affiliate links. The use of an affiliate link does not give Istriada access to payment-card details or the complete booking information held by the external provider. We may receive limited reporting information, such as whether a referral resulted in a qualifying transaction.

Service providers

Personal data may be processed by providers that help us host, secure and maintain the website, including our hosting provider, DigitalOcean.

Providers receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services and process it under their own legal obligations and applicable contractual safeguards.

We do not sell visitors’ personal data.

International transfers

Some service providers may be established outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on a legally recognised transfer mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

Subject to the conditions provided by applicable data-protection law, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal data;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of your data;
  • restrict or object to processing;
  • receive data you supplied in a portable format;
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
  • lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority.

To exercise your rights, contact [CONTACT EMAIL]. We may need to request reasonable information to verify your identity.

If you are in Croatia, you may also contact the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency. If you live elsewhere in the European Economic Area, you may contact the supervisory authority in your country of residence or work.

Children

Istriada is a general travel-information website and is not designed to collect personal data from children. Please do not send personal information about a child unless it is necessary and you are legally authorised to do so.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its services or legal requirements change. The current version and its revision date will always be published on this page.
