We explore Denmark together
Pawsome Denmark is made by dog owners, for dog owners. We keep it simple: no ads, no tracking, only anonymous visit statistics – and beyond that we only collect what you choose to send us.
This policy covers both the pawsomedenmark.dk website and the Pawsome Denmark app. Wherever the two differ, we say so explicitly.
We don't use ads, and we don't follow you around. We store just two practical things in your browser: which language you chose, and whether you closed the message about the app. Neither is sent to anyone, and neither can recognise you on other websites – which is why we have no cookie pop-up either. You can use both the website and the app without logging in.
To know which places and pages are useful, we count visits anonymously on our own server – no external analytics services are used. When you open a page, we store the page's name, the time, your language choice, which country the visit comes from, and which website referred you, if any. We also count clicks on things like share buttons, category filters and links to the venues' websites. To tell visitors apart we use an anonymous daily number computed from your IP address and browser with a secret key that changes every day: your IP address is not stored in the statistics, the number cannot be traced back to you, and it cannot recognise you from one day to the next. If your browser asks not to be tracked ("Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control), we don't count you at all.
We only collect the information you enter yourself when you use one of the forms on the site:
You decide what you write. Please don't submit information you don't want shared.
To keep bots and spam out, we briefly store your IP address when you send a form. It is used solely to limit the number of submissions and is deleted automatically again after a short time. It is not linked to your identity.
Please note: Once a review, a dog's name or a photo is published, it is visible to everyone on the site. So don't send photos or text you don't want shown.
When you send a review, the text and any photos are sent to the language-model service Claude (Anthropic PBC, USA), which does two things: checks whether the content is offensive or dangerous, and translates your text into Danish, English and German so other dog owners can read it. If everything is fine, the review is published immediately. If anything is questionable — or the check cannot be completed — it waits until we have looked at it ourselves.
We review all content afterwards, usually the same or the next day, and remove anything that doesn't belong. Anthropic does not use your data to train their models. Please don't write anything in a review that you don't want passed on for that processing.
The Pawsome Denmark app has no login, no ads and no tracking – neither our own nor anyone else's. You can use it without creating an account.
When you send a review from the app, this is all we receive: which place it is about, your rating in paws, the date of your visit, your dog's name, your description of the experience, and any photos you choose to attach. The app collects nothing else.
"Use my location": if you tap that button in the app, your phone's GPS is used to find places around you. The position is sent to our own server, which looks up the names of nearby places in our copy of OpenStreetMap's Danish map data. It is not passed on to any third party, and we do not store it – neither in the database nor in our log files. It only happens when you tap the button, and from the contribution itself we receive only the name of the place you pick. To avoid it entirely, just type the place name by hand.
Submissions from the app are then handled exactly as those from the website. That means the text and any photos are sent to Claude here too, for the automatic check and the translation described in the section above.
Names, email addresses and messages are only collected through the contact form on the website.
On the map page, the places are shown on a map from OpenStreetMap. When the map loads, your browser fetches the map tiles directly from the OpenStreetMap Foundation's servers, so your IP address is visible to them – the same way it is when you visit any website. We send no other information along, and the map only loads when you open the map page yourself.
The information is stored on our own server in Denmark. Contact messages are sent to our email. Apart from the automatic check described above, we never sell or pass on your information to others.
You have the right to access, correct or delete the information we hold about you – including having a review or photo you submitted removed. Write to us via the contact form and we'll help you.
We may update this policy as the site develops. We'll note significant changes on the site.
