Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Who I Am

The Hidden Atlas (the-hidden-atlas.com) is operated by an individual based in the European Union (Poland). For any privacy-related questions, please contact me at: thehiddenatlas@outlook.com

2. What Data I Collect and Why

Newsletter subscribers

When you sign up for my newsletter, I collect your email address. I use this to send you travel content, product updates and occasional offers. This is processed through MailerLite. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.

Contact form

When you use the contact form, I collect your name and email address to reply to your message. I do not store this data beyond what is necessary to respond. The legal basis is legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Pinterest

This website displays Pinterest content (social media widget/feed). Pinterest may collect data about your visit independently. Please refer to Pinterest's own Privacy Policy at pinterest.com/privacy for details.

Cookies and analytics

This website may use basic cookies necessary for the site to function. If I add analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) in the future, this policy will be updated and a cookie consent banner will be added.

3. Third-Party Services

When you click a link to purchase a product, you will be taken to a third-party platform — currently Etsy (etsy.com) or Ko-fi (ko-fi.com). Any purchase you make is subject to their terms and privacy policies. I do not receive or store your payment information.

MailerLite (newsletter provider) processes your email address on my behalf. They are GDPR-compliant. You can read their privacy policy at mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy.
