Privacy policy

Who handles the data

aflito.pt is a project by Better Skills. For any privacy matter, write to ola@aflito.pt.

What we keep and why

• Location: only when you tap the urgency button or «I am right here» and give permission. It is used solely to work out the nearest toilets or to place the marker. We do not store it or link it to you. If you ask for the route, your location and the destination are sent to an external walking route service, only to draw the path. We do store the coordinates of toilets you add, because they are part of the map.
• What you post: toilets, reviews, a nickname (if you want one), status reports and photos. We show these on the service.
• Photos: they are converted on your device before upload, which removes the location and other metadata. They only appear once reviewed.
• Device identifier: a random code stored in your browser, with no name or email. It is used to limit abuse, for example one review per person per toilet.
• Games: progress and records are stored only in your browser.
• Join requests: business name, address and email, used only to put the place on the map, send the sticker and reply to the request.

Cookies and tracking

We use no advertising or analytics cookies, and no tools that follow you from site to site. The only things stored in your browser are the device identifier and game progress, which the service needs to work.

Legal basis

Providing the service you ask for by using the site (GDPR article 6(1)(b)) and our legitimate interest in keeping it safe and free from abuse (article 6(1)(f)).

Who we share with

We rely on hosting, map and address search providers, which handle the technical data strictly needed for the site to work. Some may process data outside the European Union, with the safeguards required by the GDPR. When you open the map or search for an address, your browser contacts those services directly. If you tap «Take me there», you open an external maps service with its own policy. We do not sell or hand your data to anyone else.

For how long

Posted content stays visible while it is useful to the map. Join requests are kept for as long as the relationship with the business lasts. Records used to limit abuse are temporary.

Your rights

You can ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability of your data by writing to ola@aflito.pt. To erase something you posted, tell us which toilet or review it is. If you feel we have not answered properly, you can complain to the Portuguese data protection authority (cnpd.pt) or to the authority in your country.

Minors

Posting content is intended for people aged 16 or over. Browsing the map and playing require no minimum age and no sign-up.
