Sources, licences and privacy

Censotur reuses open data published by Spanish administrations. It is not an official register: for any formal procedure, the regional register is the source.

We meet these licences' terms: every page names its source and data date, and we do not alter content beyond normalising formats so one search works across regions. Every download is kept with its date, so a removal you see is a licence that was in one official file and is missing from a later one. So each register's history starts at its first kept copy (the "History since" column); before that date we cannot know what changed.

What we publish and what we never do

FieldPublishedWhy
Licence number, type, municipality, beds, dates, statusYesWhat a listing must show, and what the register publishes for verification.
StreetYesLets you check that a listing matches the declared area.
Building numberOnly on a specific search resultNever on indexable pages or lists; only when you look up that licence or street, and that page is not indexed.
Floor, door, staircase, blockNoIdentifies one home and, through it, its owner.
Cadastral reference, coordinatesNoLinks to cadastral ownership or pins the exact home.
Holder name, tax ID, phone, e-mailNo, and not storedPersonal data that licence verification does not need.

Why: the address of a private person's home is personal data even when an administration publishes it, because it identifies the owner. Reusing public-sector information that contains personal data is subject to the GDPR (Spanish Law 37/2007), and the AEPD / datos.gob.es guidance asks reusers to minimise and to assess re-identification risk (guidance, Spanish). Our basis is the legitimate interest in verifying tourist licences, the same purpose the registers are published for, with data cut to what that check needs.

Removal or objection. If you hold a licence and want your street and building number removed, use the form, choose "Licence holder: removal request" and give the licence number. We remove it in the next update.
