Privacy policy
Last updated 21 October 2026.
The Gay Escape is based in the United Kingdom. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and what rights you have over it under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to see which pages are visited and how the site performs. It does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites: it counts visits and page views without identifying you personally.
Error reports
If a page fails on our server, a technical report goes to Sentry, run by Functional Software, Inc., and stored in its EU data region. The report holds the address of the page and what went wrong in our code. It does not include your name, your email address or your IP address. Nothing from Sentry runs in your browser. We rely on our legitimate interest in keeping the site working.
Inspect mode
On every page load the site reads one key from your browser's local storage to check whether inspect mode, an editing aid we use ourselves, is switched on. It only writes to local storage, two keys, after you switch inspect mode on with a keyboard shortcut. Neither holds personal data, and neither leaves your browser.
Newsletter
If you sign up to our newsletter, we store your email address with our provider, Resend, to send you the emails you asked for. We ask for your email and nothing else. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you at any time by emailing the address below.
Affiliate links
Some pages contain affiliate links to travel and experience providers. Clicking one takes you to a third-party site with its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read. We record that a link was clicked, but not who clicked it.
Your rights
We do not sell your personal data. Under UK GDPR you can ask what data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw consent for the newsletter at any time. Contact us using the details below to exercise any of these rights.
