Sources and Licences

As of October 24, 2026
This translation is provided for your convenience. Only the German version is legally binding.

1. Where the details in directory entries come from

Directory entries show sites whose operator is not yet on Banaki. Banaki builds them from publicly available sources, and every detail needs proof. These are the sources we use:

  • The operator's website. It provides facilities, offers, season and contact details of the business premises.
  • Open data from destination.one. Basic data such as name, address, location, website, telephone number, category and features of a site. We only take over records published under one of these licences: public domain (PD, Public Domain Mark 1.0), CC0 1.0 or CC BY 4.0. For CC BY, we name the author on the page of the entry, together with the licence and a link to the record. We do not take over contact persons from the records.
  • OpenStreetMap. We use it only to match a site to the right object and to check its location. We do not take data from OpenStreetMap into the entry.

Banaki changes and adds to these details, for example with facilities from the operator's website and with the description, which is created with AI and labelled as such. Where the source requires attribution, it appears on the entry. How a directory entry is created and sorted is explained on the page "Ranking and Reviews".

2. OpenStreetMap data elsewhere

We also show OpenStreetMap data in other places on Banaki: the map, the surroundings of a site, tours and protected areas. There you will see "© OpenStreetMap contributors". The data is available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL), more at openstreetmap.org/copyright. Here too: details changed and added to by Banaki.

3. Disclaimer of the licences

The Creative Commons licences exclude any warranty from the licensor. For you this means: details from open datasets and from OpenStreetMap can be out of date or incomplete, and neither the authors nor Banaki give any warranty for them. Check important details, such as opening times and prices, with the operator of the site.

4. Photo credits on listing photos

Photos that Banaki receives from the booking system of a site carry a credit if the author or the licence is known. The credit names the author, the source and the licence with a link.

  • On the detail page it appears as a line below the photo in full-screen view and as an info icon on the photos in the gallery and in the unit dialog.
  • In search it appears as an info icon on the photos of the cards in the results list and in the map popup.

"Edited" means for us: cropped and scaled. Banaki changes nothing else about the images. A licence that requires attribution also applies to this version.

5. AI-generated images

We label images created with AI as "AI-generated". The label is always visible on the image, not only after a click.

6. Correction or removal

If a detail is wrong, a credit is missing or an entry or photo should disappear, tell us. Use the page Report content or the contact form, or write to moin@kogge.digital. Name the entry or photo, ideally with a link. We review the report and correct the detail or remove the content.
