Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Countries.World ("we", "us") handles information when you visit countries.world (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping data collection to a minimum.
Information we collect
Countries.World is a static informational website. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask you to submit personal information to browse the Site. We do not sell personal data.
If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to include in your message, which we use solely to respond to you.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate, anonymous usage of the Site — such as which pages are popular and general visitor counts. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Cookies
The Site itself sets no tracking cookies. We use your browser's local storage only to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). See our Cookie Policy for details.
Third-party services
Some features rely on third parties. The interactive maps load map tiles from OpenStreetMap when you choose to open them; your browser then communicates directly with that service. These providers have their own privacy policies.
Children's privacy
The Site is a general-audience reference resource and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
