Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 October 2026

Welcome to Camplist.Guide (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Service”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you visit https://camplist.guide/ (the “Site”) or use our camping checklist web-app (collectively, the “Services”).

1. Information We Collect

• Information you provide voluntarily — e.g., your email address when you sign up for updates or submit feedback.
• Usage data — automatically collected technical data such as browser type, device information, referring pages, and pages visited.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small text files stored on your device to remember preferences and analyze site traffic (see “Cookies” below).

2. How We Use Your Information

We process personal information only where we have a legal basis to do so, including:

• Contractual necessity — to operate and deliver the Services you’ve requested (e.g., saving your custom checklist).
• Legitimate interests — to improve functionality, prevent fraud, and understand user engagement.
• Consent — for analytics cookies or marketing emails (you may withdraw consent at any time).
• Legal compliance — to meet obligations under GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable laws.

3. Cookies & Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used (pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type). Google Analytics may set first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) that identify your browser for up to two years. Google anonymises IP addresses, and we never send it your name, email address or the contents of your lists. Three protections apply:

• If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, the analytics tag is not loaded at all.
• For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics runs in cookieless mode (Google Consent Mode with storage denied): no analytics cookies are set unless you later give consent through a consent tool.
• Anyone can block it with Google's opt-out browser add-on.

How Google uses this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

3a. Accounts and sign-in

CampList has no server and no user database. When you sign in with Google or Microsoft, the provider sends your name, email address and profile picture to your browser, and CampList stores that profile only in your browser (local storage) so it can show your name and keep your lists separate from other people who use the same device. We never receive, transmit or store sign-in data on our systems. Signing out, or choosing "Forget on this device", removes it. Sign-in sessions expire after 30 days without activity.

3b. Where your lists and files are stored

• By default your checklists are stored in your browser's local storage on your device. Clearing site data deletes them; use "Export JSON" to keep a copy.
• If you connect Google Drive or OneDrive, CampList writes your lists and any files you upload directly from your browser to a folder in your cloud account (a "CampList" folder in Drive, or the app folder in OneDrive). The permission we request only covers files CampList creates or you explicitly pick (Google drive.file, Microsoft Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder). Access tokens are kept in memory and never stored. We do not see, copy or back up your files. You can disconnect at any time from the Storage panel and revoke access in your Google or Microsoft account settings; your files stay in your cloud folder.
• Google Maps is used only when you search for a destination in Trip Info; your search text is sent to Google under Google's privacy policy.

3c. Sponsorships, affiliate links and advertising

CampList is free and shows at most two clearly labelled placements: "Sponsored by …" for paid sponsorships, "Paid link" for affiliate links (we may earn a commission when you buy through them), "From CampList" for our own messages, or "Advertisement" for ads served by Google AdSense. Sponsor and house cards do not track you. No placement is a pop-up, overlay or sticky bar.

When an AdSense unit is shown, Google and its certified advertising partners may use cookies or device identifiers to serve and measure ads. Where the law requires it (the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and certain US states), Google's consent or privacy-choice message appears before any advertising data is processed. You can manage ad personalisation at Google Ads Settings; Google's use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

4. Your Rights

You may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you.
• Opt out of “selling” or “sharing” personal information under the CCPA/CPRA.
• Withdraw consent at any time (for cookie or email marketing).
• Port your data to another service provider.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (EU/UK residents).

5. Data Retention & Security

We keep data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) and restrict access to authorized personnel.

6. Third-Party Disclosure

We never sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted service providers (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics) under strict data-processing agreements that match or exceed this Policy’s protections. A current list of subprocessors is available upon request.

7. International Transfers

Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate. We rely on adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses (SCCs), or equivalent safeguards to protect EU/UK transfers.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected such data without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when changes were posted. Material changes will be announced via a banner or email notification where required.
