Private, non-commercial information website about country statistics. Data comes from the sources named on each metric; we take care but cannot guarantee that every value is correct. Boundaries shown are de facto and do not imply endorsement.

Privacy

Hosting

The site is hosted by Vercel Inc. (USA). When you open a page, your browser sends technical data such as your IP address, browser and the page requested; Vercel processes it to deliver the site and to protect it against abuse. Data transfers to the USA rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Usage statistics

We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to count page views and measure loading speed. They set no cookies and store no IP addresses; visitors are counted with a hash that changes daily and cannot be traced back to you. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a site that works and loads quickly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Stored in your browser

Map settings (layers, style, panel positions) and whether you have seen the introduction are kept in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device; clear them via your browser settings.

Wikipedia excerpts

When you open a historical event, your browser loads a short summary directly from Wikipedia (Wikimedia Foundation, USA), which receives your IP address for that request.

Feedback

If you report a value or send feedback, we receive what you enter and the page it concerns, plus your email address only if you give one. We use it to check and correct the data and delete it once handled.

Error reports

If the site hits a technical error in your browser, it sends the error message, the page and your browser's user-agent string to our server log, so we can fix it. The report itself contains no IP address or other identifier; like any request it is handled by our hosting provider, whose logs keep entries only for a short time.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection, and to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority (in Austria: the Datenschutzbehörde). Write to info@factlas.app.
