Privacy policy
Last updated June 8, 2026
Home Sauna Guide is a static, content-only website. You can read every guide, use the cost calculator, and browse the sauna finder without creating an account or giving us any personal information. This page explains the limited data involved when you visit, and how the small number of third-party tools we rely on work.
What we collect
We do not ask you to register, and we do not sell or rent any data. The only information involved in a normal visit is:
- Anonymous, aggregate analytics. We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Vercel Web Analytics) to understand which pages are popular. It does not use cookies, does not track you across sites, and does not collect information that identifies you as an individual. We also record anonymous, aggregate counts of outbound link clicks (for example, how often a booking or product link is clicked) so we know which guides are useful.
- Standard server logs. Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider may temporarily process technical request data (such as your IP address and browser type) to deliver the site securely and prevent abuse. We do not use these logs to build profiles of visitors.
Cookies
Home Sauna Guide does not set advertising or tracking cookies of its own. Our analytics is cookieless. Third-party sites you click through to (see below) may set their own cookies once you leave us.
Forms you choose to submit
Some pages let you contact us or suggest or correct a sauna listing. If you submit one of these forms, we receive only the details you choose to enter (such as a sauna name, a link, or your email if you add it) and use them solely to respond to you or update the directory. We do not use that information for marketing.
Affiliate and outbound links
Some links on this site are affiliate links, and the sauna finder links out to venues' own websites and booking pages. When you click an affiliate or outbound link, the destination site (for example Amazon, a manufacturer, or a venue's booking system) may set its own cookies and collect data under its own privacy policy. We have no control over those policies. See our affiliate disclosure for details on how those links work.
Third-party services
To keep the site lightweight we rely on a few external services: our hosting provider serves the pages, Plausible provides cookieless analytics, and the sauna finder map is rendered with the open-source Leaflet library using map tiles from OpenStreetMap. Each operates under its own privacy and usage terms.
Children
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
Because we use cookieless analytics and do not maintain accounts, there is no personal profile to access or delete. You can still block scripts or use your browser's privacy settings at any time without affecting your ability to read the site. If you have submitted a form and want the information removed, email us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. When we make a material change, we will update the date at the top of this page.
