Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 2026.

This policy explains how BorderFrame handles data when visitors use the site, browse articles, accept cookies, or use the travel planning tools. The policy is written in a GDPR-style format for clarity and accountability.

BorderFrame does not require account creation to use the public calculators. Where processing occurs, it is limited to service delivery, site security, analytics, and lawful operational needs.

1. Data controller context

BorderFrame is a travel planning website that provides informational content and browser-based tools. For the purposes of this policy, BorderFrame acts as the controller of personal data processed through the site.

2. Categories of data

The site may process basic technical information such as browser type, device characteristics, language preferences, referring page, and approximate usage timestamps. Where a visitor submits information through a site contact form, that submission may also be processed.

Technical log information used for security and service stability
Cookie and local storage preferences, including consent signals
Usage analytics in aggregated or pseudonymous form
Voluntary information entered into a contact form or support request

3. Purposes and lawful bases

BorderFrame processes data to operate the site, maintain security, understand usage trends, and improve travel planning content. Depending on the context, the lawful basis may be legitimate interests, consent, or steps taken at the request of the data subject.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The site uses cookies and local storage to remember privacy choices, maintain basic functionality, and measure anonymous usage patterns. A cookie banner is shown so visitors can make an informed decision before optional storage is used.

5. Data retention

Technical logs are retained only for the period needed to protect the service and review abnormal events. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond, document the exchange, or comply with legal obligations.

6. Sharing and processors

Personal data may be processed by infrastructure or analytics providers acting under contract and subject to appropriate safeguards. BorderFrame does not sell visitor data and does not publish personal data entered into tools.

7. International transfers

Where service providers operate across borders, data may be transferred internationally. In such cases, contractual safeguards or equivalent protective measures are used where required by law.

8. Data subject rights

Individuals may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent where applicable. To exercise these rights, use the contact form on this site and specify the request clearly.

9. Children’s privacy

BorderFrame is not directed to children. If it becomes clear that data has been provided by a child in a manner that requires removal, the information will be deleted where legally appropriate.

10. Security measures

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures are used to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so users should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive data.

11. Policy changes

This policy may be updated when legal requirements, site features, or processing practices change. The current version will always be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
