Elbstrom is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect (very little) and how we handle it.
Data controller
Elbstrom Redaktion, Bahrenfelder Str. 64, 22765 Hamburg, Germany. For privacy-related enquiries: redaktion@elbstrom-hamburg.de.
What we collect
Website visits
We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, third-party analytics services or fingerprinting scripts. Our web server records standard access logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL, HTTP status code, referrer, user agent) for security and operational purposes only. These logs are retained for a maximum of 14 days and then automatically deleted.
Email correspondence
If you email us, we store your message and email address for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. We do not add correspondents to mailing lists or share contact information with third parties. You may request deletion of your correspondence at any time.
Cookies
This website does not set any cookies—neither first-party nor third-party. There is no cookie banner because there are no cookies to consent to.
Third-party services
We do not embed content from third-party services (social media widgets, video players, advertising networks, font services, CDNs). All assets are served from our own infrastructure.
Hosting
This website is hosted on servers located within the European Union. Data does not leave the EU for processing or storage.
Your rights under GDPR
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:
- Access any personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to processing of your data
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Hamburgische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit)
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at redaktion@elbstrom-hamburg.de.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we will update this page and note the revision date above. We do not notify by email because we do not maintain a subscriber list.
