1. Overview

FlagsMap collects only limited technical data needed to run the site, understand traffic, improve performance, and support advertising. We do not ask for accounts or sensitive personal data.

2. What We Collect

  • IP address or shortened IP-based location data
  • Browser, device, operating system, and language settings
  • Pages viewed, visit times, referral data, and general usage patterns
  • Cookies, ad identifiers, and similar browser technologies used for functionality, analytics, and ads

3. How We Use Data

We use this information to keep FlagsMap secure and reliable, improve the service, understand which pages are useful, and measure site and ad performance.

We do not sell personal data. Where consent is required, such as for non-essential cookies or personalized advertising in certain regions, processing is based on that consent.

4. Google AdSense

FlagsMap uses Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this site or other sites.

These cookies may be used for personalized ads, frequency capping, and ad measurement. You can control personalized ad settings and broader interest-based advertising choices here:

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for hosting, analytics, advertising, content delivery, uptime monitoring, and security.

Those providers may process limited technical data under their own privacy terms. Common categories include analytics providers and Google AdSense advertising services.

6. GDPR Rights

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction, you may have rights under the GDPR or equivalent privacy laws.

These rights can include access, deletion, restriction of processing, correction, objection, and withdrawal of consent where consent is the legal basis.

  • Request access to the personal data related to you
  • Request deletion of data where legally applicable
  • Request restriction or objection to certain processing

7. Data Retention

Technical and analytics data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, reporting, troubleshooting, and legal compliance.

Because FlagsMap does not use user accounts, we may not always be able to identify a specific visitor from a request alone, but we will review reasonable requests in good faith.
