PRIVACY & CREDITS
A little clarity
behind the guide.
How the site works, how information is used and who created the photographs you see here.

Privacy
This site does not include an enquiry form, email subscription, advertising trackers or added analytics scripts. The trip planner runs in your browser and does not ask for your name, email address or travel dates.
The living and property checklists save only which boxes you have ticked, using storage on your own browser. This progress is not sent to Ralph. You can reset it on either guide or clear both checklists below.
The hosting service records basic traffic statistics, including page views and visitor counts, and may process technical information needed to deliver and protect the site. See OpenAI’s Privacy Policy for information about its privacy practices. External links open third-party websites, which have their own privacy practices.
If you email Ralph
The contact page opens your own email app. The site itself does not submit or store your message. If you choose to email, Ralph receives your email address, message and any information you include, and uses them to respond to your enquiry. Your email provider’s own privacy terms apply.
Information and independence
This is general information to help you begin exploring Malta. Immigration, healthcare, tax, legal and property decisions depend on your circumstances. Check current requirements with the relevant authority and qualified independent professionals.
No property listings or brokerage services are offered. No investment returns are guaranteed. Any future paid partnership or referral arrangement will be disclosed clearly where it applies.
