Privacy Policy

Portsmouth Ferries is a small, independent site. We don’t run ads, don’t sell data, and don’t ask you to create an account. Here’s what actually happens when you visit.

What we collect

We don’t run analytics or tracking scripts on this site, and we don’t set cookies of our own. Our hosting provider logs standard technical data (like IP address and browser type) for security and performance, as most web hosts do, we don’t access this for tracking purposes.

External services this site uses

  • OpenStreetMap / Leaflet for the interactive maps on route and port pages. Map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap’s servers when you view a map.
  • Open-Meteo for the live weather forecast shown on port pages. Your approximate location isn’t used, the forecast is for the port, not for you.
  • Google Fonts for the typefaces used across the site.

These are third-party services with their own privacy practices, we’d suggest checking their policies directly if you want the details.

Links to other sites

We link to Brittany Ferries, Condor Ferries, and occasionally other sites (including FerryGoGo, part of the same network). Once you click through, you’re on their site and subject to their privacy policy, not ours.
