Privacy notice

This notice is for braiders who are on this map or want to be. It explains what we collect, what we show on your card, what we keep to ourselves, and how you can change or delete your card.

1. Who we are

The controller of your personal data is Dream braids s.r.o., Muskatova 702/2B, 902 01 Vinosady, Slovakia, company ID 53931114.

The fastest way to reach us is Instagram @oobraider.pro. You can also e-mail us at [email protected]. We have not appointed a data protection officer, so your message goes to the people who run the map.

2. What we collect when you apply

From the application form:

  • your photo, your name, your city and country;
  • your street address, if you give one;
  • your social media profile;
  • your phone number, if you give one;
  • the languages you speak with clients;
  • your e-mail address;
  • whether you ticked the box for our newsletter.

When you submit the form, we also record the time, the version of the wording you agreed to, your IP address, your browser (its user agent) and the country your connection comes from. This is our record of your consent.

We also record how you reached the form: the website you came from (for example instagram.com or google.com, but never the full web address) and, if the link you followed included them, its campaign tags (utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign). We use this only to see where our applications come from.

We don't ask about your ethnic origin, your background or your health. Please don't write anything like that in the form.

You don't have to apply or give us any data. Without the required fields, we can't put you on the map. The fields marked as optional are up to you.

3. What your card shows and what stays with us

Your card on the public map shows your photo, your name, your street address if you gave one, your city and country, your social media profile, your phone number if you gave one, the languages you speak with clients, the date your card was added and the date we checked it. Your pin is placed at your street address, or in the middle of your city if you didn't give one. If your card came from the Russian map, your pin is always in the middle of your city.

We never publish your e-mail address, your consent record, your IP address, your browser details or your newsletter choice.

4. Cards that came from the Russian map

Some cards on this map came from the Russian Braiders United map at ru.braidersunited.com. Those braiders applied to be shown on that map through its application form on GetCourse. On 15 October 2026 we copied their photo, name, country, city and social media profile from the public Russian map to this map. We did this because of our legitimate interest in showing braiders who already chose to be listed publicly under Braiders United on a single international map. We don't show their street address on this map. From 16 November 2026, like every other card here, these cards can be found by search engines and AI search assistants. You can object at any time to your card being shown on this map, and we will take it down.

If your card came from the Russian map and you want it changed or taken down, message us on Instagram @oobraider.pro or e-mail us at [email protected]. We'll do it and let you know within 14 days at the latest.

5. Why we use your data, and on what legal basis

  • We show your card on the map because you agreed to it. You can withdraw that consent at any time.
  • We send you our newsletter only if you ticked that box. This is a separate consent. You can unsubscribe at any time, and that doesn't affect your card.
  • We e-mail you about your card (the confirmation and your link to edit it) because these are steps you asked us to take when you applied.
  • We keep your consent record, IP address and browser details because we have a legitimate interest in being able to show that a card was added with consent, and in stopping misuse of the form.
  • We record which website or campaign link brought you to the form because we have a legitimate interest in knowing where our applications come from.
  • We count visits to this site with Cloudflare Web Analytics because we have a legitimate interest in knowing how people find the map. We see only totals, as described in section 9.
  • If your card came from the Russian map, we show it because of our legitimate interest described in section 4. You can object at any time.
  • Your browser loads the map images from OpenStreetMap because of our legitimate interest in showing a working map.

6. Who else handles your data

  • Cloudflare hosts this site, the application form and the database where your card is stored. It also counts visits to the site, as described in section 9.
  • Kit sends our e-mails and keeps your e-mail address, your first name, a label saying you applied to the map and, if you ticked the box, a label saying you get our newsletter.
  • OpenStreetMap provides the map. Your browser loads the map images directly from OpenStreetMap, so OpenStreetMap sees your IP address. To place your pin, we send OpenStreetMap's search service the street address, city and country you entered. We don't send your name or anything else with them.

Cloudflare and Kit are based in the United States. We use them under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses in our agreement with them. The OpenStreetMap Foundation is based in the United Kingdom, which the EU recognises as protecting personal data adequately. You can ask us for a copy of these safeguards.

7. How long we keep your data

  • Your card stays on the map until you delete it or we take it down under the Listing rules.
  • When you delete your card, we immediately delete your photo, name, street address, city, country, profile, phone number, languages, IP address, browser details and the details of how you reached the form.
  • We keep only your e-mail address and your consent record (the time, the version of the wording and the time you deleted your card) for three years, and then delete them. If a complaint or a legal claim is still open, we keep the part of the record that relates to it until it's closed.
  • In Kit, we also remove the label saying you applied to the map. If you didn't sign up for the newsletter and aren't subscribed to our e-mails for another reason, we unsubscribe your address in Kit. If you did, you stay subscribed until you unsubscribe.
  • If we don't approve your application, we delete it in the same way as a deleted card.
  • Search engines and other services may already have copied your card. Those copies are outside our control and can take longer to disappear.

8. Your link to edit your card

After you apply, we e-mail you a private link to edit or delete your card. We store only a coded fingerprint of the link, not the link itself, so even we can't recover it from our database. Please don't forward that e-mail: anyone with the link can change your card. If you lose it, ask for a new one on the application page. Your old link will then stop working.

9. No cookies, no advertising tracking

This site doesn't use cookies or advertising pixels. To count visits, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It doesn't set cookies, and it doesn't recognise you when you come back or when you visit other sites. We see only totals: how many people visited, which pages they opened, which country they came from and which website sent them here. We never see who you are. We do this because of our legitimate interest in knowing how people find the map.

If you tap "Braiders near me", your location is used only in your browser to centre the map. It is never sent to us.

10. Your rights

You have the right to see the data we hold about you and get a copy of it, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict how we use it, to object to processing based on our legitimate interest, and to receive the data you gave us in a portable form. You can withdraw any consent at any time. Withdrawing it doesn't make what we did before unlawful. We don't make any decisions about you by automated means alone.

You can change or delete your card yourself at any time with the link in your e-mail. For anything else, message us on Instagram @oobraider.pro or e-mail us at [email protected]. We answer within one month.

If you're not satisfied, you can complain to the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (Urad na ochranu osobnych udajov Slovenskej republiky), Galvaniho Business Centrum II, Galvaniho 7/B, 821 04 Bratislava, Slovakia, dataprotection.gov.sk. You can also complain to the supervisory authority in the country where you live or work.

This notice is dated 15 October 2026 and goes with version apply-en-2026-10 of the application form.
