In this policy, “BadgerHunt”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the operator identified above.

2. Personal Data We May Collect

Depending on how you use our website, we may process the following categories of information:

  • Technical information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, language settings and technical logs.
  • Usage information: pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location derived from technical data, and interactions with website features.
  • Contact information: your email address and any information you choose to include when contacting us.
  • Consent preferences: records of choices you make through our cookie and advertising consent interface.
  • Security information: information needed to protect the website, investigate abuse and maintain its integrity.

We do not ask visitors to provide personal information merely to read publicly available articles.

3. How We Use Personal Data

We may process personal data for the following purposes:

  • operating, maintaining and securing the website;
  • responding to enquiries and messages;
  • understanding website performance and improving our content;
  • measuring advertising performance and displaying advertisements, where configured;
  • storing and respecting privacy and advertising consent choices;
  • detecting fraud, abuse, technical errors and security incidents;
  • meeting applicable legal obligations.

We will not use personal data for purposes incompatible with those described here without providing any notice or obtaining any consent required by law.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on the legal basis appropriate to the specific processing activity. This may include:

  • Legitimate interests: operating and securing the website, preventing abuse and maintaining our services, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Consent: processing that requires your permission, including certain non-essential cookies, analytics technologies or advertising-related processing.
  • Legal obligation: processing required to comply with applicable law.
  • Steps taken at your request: where applicable, responding to an enquiry or taking steps you have requested.

The applicable legal basis depends on the specific activity and the technologies actually in use.

5. Cookies, Analytics and Advertising

BadgerHunt may use essential cookies and similar technologies to provide basic website functionality and security.

Subject to implementation and applicable consent requirements, we may also use:

  • Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website and measure its performance.
  • Google AdSense to display advertisements and measure advertising performance.
  • Consent management technology to record and apply your privacy and advertising choices.

Non-essential technologies will be configured in accordance with applicable requirements. Where consent is required, the relevant technologies must not be activated before the necessary consent is obtained.

For further information, see our Cookie Policy.

6. Advertising and Third-Party Services

If Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may process information such as browser identifiers, cookies, IP-related information and interactions with advertisements, subject to the applicable configuration, your choices and relevant law.

Advertising may be personalised or non-personalised depending on the available settings, consent signals and applicable requirements.

Third-party services operate under their own privacy documentation. We will identify relevant services and link to their current privacy information once the production configuration has been finalised.

7. Who May Receive Personal Data

Depending on the services actually used, information may be shared with:

  • website hosting and infrastructure providers;
  • security, maintenance and technical service providers;
  • analytics providers;
  • advertising and consent management providers;
  • professional advisers or public authorities where disclosure is legally required.

We do not sell personal data to third parties in exchange for payment. Any disclosure or processing by service providers must have an appropriate purpose and legal basis.

8. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where applicable data protection law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism and supplementary measures where necessary.

Further information about the safeguards applicable to a particular service may be requested using the contact details above.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking into account legal requirements, security needs and dispute resolution.

Retention periods may differ for technical logs, contact messages, analytics records and consent records. The actual periods will depend on the systems and settings used by BadgerHunt.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • access your personal data;

  • request deletion of personal data;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • receive certain data in a portable format;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent;
  • lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

If you are in Poland, the competent supervisory authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO). You may also contact the supervisory authority in your country of habitual residence, place of work or alleged infringement, where applicable.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details in the “Who We Are” section. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
