Privacy
What we keep, and what we never collect.
The short version
tikka.si has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels and sets no cookies. We store only what you choose to send us through the forms below.
Contact form
When you use the contact form we store your name, email address and message in our team inbox (a private database), so we can read and reply. Messages are not forwarded by email automatically. We do not use your email for marketing and do not share it.
Spot submissions
When you submit a BBQ spot we store the name, city, address, description and map coordinates you provide. Submissions are held as pending and are only shown publicly after a member of the team approves them. Please do not include personal information in descriptions.
Reports
When you report a listing we store the reason you write and which spot it concerns, so the team can review it.
Abuse protection
To limit spam, form submissions are rate limited to 10 per hour. To enforce this we keep a one-way hash of your IP address with a count, rather than the IP address itself.
Maps
Maps are drawn with Leaflet using OpenStreetMap tile servers. When a map loads, your browser requests map images directly from OpenStreetMap, which receives your IP address and browser details as with any web request. See the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy for details.
Moderation and removal
Moderation happens privately through the team workspace and database; there is no public admin area. To ask for a message or a submission to be removed, use the contact form and tell us what to look for.
