What we keep and who can see it
We use the minimum data needed for sign-in, the contact form, moderation, and community content.
Registration and sign-in
When you register, we store your email, public display name, and avatar if the sign-in provider returns one. Your email is not shown publicly. Public profiles should show only a name and avatar.
Contact form
Contact messages are stored in a private table and forwarded to contact@shkembe.com and mihail.d.dimovski@gmail.com. Public visitors cannot read them.
Public content
Places, reviews, recipes, stories, and comments become public when submitted. We show the public name, text, and selected tags, but not the personal email.
Anti-spam
We store a hash of an IP/network identifier for rate limiting. We do not store the raw IP address in the rate-limit table.
Analytics and ads
We load Google tag with Consent Mode and storage denied by default. If you accept the cookie banner, we allow measurement of visits, useful actions, and ad performance. If approved by Google, the site may show Google AdSense ads. If you decline, analytics/ad storage remains denied, and personalized ads should not be enabled without valid consent.
Deletion and corrections
You can request corrections or deletion of your content through the contact form. To confirm the request, we may ask you to write from the email used for registration.
