Last updated June 2026GDPR rights explainedCookies under your control

Last updated: June 2026

This policy explains what personal data Show Me Barcelona (“we”, “us”) collects from visitors and customers of showmebarcelona.co, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection law.

1. Who we are

Show Me Barcelona operates this booking site for Barcelona experiences. For GDPR purposes we act as the data controller for data collected through this site. You can reach us at Info@showmebarcelona.co for any privacy question or data request.

2. What we collect

  • Booking data - name, email, phone number, number of guests, selected experience and date, and any notes you add at checkout. This is required to create the reservation.
  • Payment data - collected and processed by the secure payment provider shown before you pay. We never see or store your full card number. We receive the payment status, amount, and booking reference needed to support the booking.
  • Booking reference - once confirmed, the reservation is held in the booking system used for that experience and a reference is attached to the booking record.
  • Site usage data - if you accept analytics cookies, we record pageviews, referrer, approximate location (from IP, truncated before storage where supported), device type, the experiences you view, and interaction signals such as clicks, scroll depth, heatmaps, and session recordings. This is used in aggregate to improve the site and spot confusing booking pages.
  • First-party booking attribution - we record the page, guide, campaign, referrer, and booking step that led to checkout. This helps us understand which content and booking flows work. We do not use this to store card details or raw traveller form answers.
  • Advertising measurement data - if you accept personalised offers cookies, Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel may record pageviews, booking events, and purchase events so we can measure ads and show more relevant offers.
  • Communications - the content of any email or WhatsApp message you send us, so we can help you.

3. Why we can process this data (legal basis)

  • To perform the booking contract - processing name, contact, payment, and reservation details is necessary to accept, confirm, and deliver the experience you booked (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
  • Legitimate interest - basic security logs, fraud prevention, and responding to support messages (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). We also use first-party booking attribution to understand which pages, campaigns, and checkout steps improve the booking experience, including whether a visitor opened a booking window or asked for help.
  • Consent - analytics and marketing cookies only run after you explicitly accept them in the cookie banner (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw cookie consent at any time from the control below.
  • Legal obligation - accounting records are kept as required by applicable tax law (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)).

4. Who we share data with

We share personal data only with processors that help us deliver the booking, and only the minimum needed for each role.

  • Secure booking and payment provider - the booking window collects payment and reservation details needed to confirm your selected experience. The provider handles card data directly under its own privacy notice.
  • Booking system - reservation and booking management. Your name, contact, and booking details are stored so the experience operator can confirm and run the activity.
  • Experience operators - the local host of the specific experience you booked receives the booking details needed to run the activity on the day.
  • Google (Google Analytics) - if you accept improve site cookies, aggregated usage data is processed by Google. IP addresses are anonymized at the earliest possible point where supported.
  • Microsoft Clarity - if you accept improve site cookies, Microsoft may process heatmap, session recording, click, scroll, device, and browser data so we can understand where visitors get stuck. Clarity is configured through our consent controls so its cookies are not granted unless you allow improve site cookies.
  • Meta and TikTok - if you accept personalised offers cookies, their pixels may process ad measurement events and use them for advertising features under their own terms.
  • Our hosting and email providers - for delivering the site, transactional messages, and support messages.

We do not sell your personal data. Analytics and advertising tools only receive granted consent after you make that choice.

5. How long we keep data

  • Booking and payment records: 5 years after the booking date, to meet applicable accounting requirements.
  • Support messages: up to 2 years after the last contact.
  • First-party booking attribution: up to 14 months, then aggregate reporting where practical.
  • Analytics data: up to 14 months in Google Analytics, then aggregated reports only.
  • Microsoft Clarity heatmaps and session recordings: according to the retention settings in our Clarity workspace, then aggregate insights where practical.
  • Advertising measurement data: according to each ad platform’s retention settings and your account controls.
  • Cookie consent choice: up to 12 months, then we ask again.

6. Your rights under GDPR

You can ask us, at any time, to:

  • Confirm what personal data we hold about you, and receive a copy.
  • Correct data that is wrong or incomplete.
  • Delete data that is no longer needed, with limits for legally required records.
  • Restrict or object to certain processing.
  • Receive your data in a portable format, or have it transferred to another provider.
  • Withdraw cookie consent at any time using the control in the Cookies section below.

Send any of these requests to Info@showmebarcelona.co. We respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.

7. Cookies

We use a small number of cookies. You control the optional ones from the cookie banner.

  • Strictly necessary - remember your cookie choice, keep the checkout session working, and let the site load. No consent required.
  • First-party attribution - remember a site session and the page or guide that led to checkout, so we can measure and improve our own booking flow. This does not load third-party analytics or advertising pixels.
  • Improve site (optional) - Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand which experiences travelers look at, where the site is confusing, and where the booking flow gets stuck. These tools only receive granted analytics consent after you allow improve site cookies. Clarity may use cookies such as _clck and _clsk.
  • Personalised offers (optional) - Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Google ad measurement, and similar ad pixels to measure ads and show more relevant offers. Loaded or granted only after you allow personalised offers cookies.

You can change your choice at any time using the control below, or by clearing site data in your browser. Third parties you interact with directly may also set their own cookies under their own policies.

Your cookie choice

No cookie choice saved yet.

8. Security

The site runs over HTTPS. Payment card data is handled by the secure payment provider shown before you pay. Access to booking systems is limited to the people who need it to run the experience. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we’ll notify you as required under GDPR.

9. Children

This site and its experiences are aimed at adults. Some experiences are explicitly not suitable for children, and some have age minimums noted on the event page. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change anything material, we’ll update the date at the top and, for significant changes, mention it on the site or in an email to recent customers. The current version always lives at this URL.
