Lageanalyse24 (lageanalyse24.de) is operated by Lageanalyse2 Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry), and this Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. It applies to all visitors and users of our website and services, whether you are in Sweden, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere.
Who is responsible for your data?
Lageanalyse2 Media Ltd., with registered office at Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000, is the data controller for personal data collected through lageanalyse24.de. For full ownership and funding details, please see our ownership and funding page. You may contact our Data Protection Officer by emailing privacy@lageanalyse24.de or writing to the registered address above.
What personal data do we collect and why?
We collect information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a tip, or contact us via info@lageanalyse24.de or other function emails. We also automatically collect technical data including IP address, browser type, and device information to ensure site security and improve our service. Additional data may be collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies; you can manage your preferences on our cookie policy page.
How do we use your data?
Your personal data is used to deliver the newsletter you request, respond to your enquiries, verify sources for editorial submissions, and to display relevant advertising or sponsored content (which is clearly labelled as such). We also use aggregated, anonymised data for analytics to understand readership patterns. Commercial relationships, including affiliate links, never determine editorial conclusions; our advertising and affiliate disclosure explains how these are disclosed to readers.
Who do we share your data with?
We may share personal data with trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf, such as email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp), analytics providers, and hosting services. These providers are contractually bound to process data only for our instructions and to comply with UK GDPR. We do not sell your data to third parties. In rare cases, we may disclose data if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our readers, our staff, or the public.
How long do we retain your data?
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe; editorial correspondence is kept for up to two years after the last contact; and technical logs are retained for a maximum of six months. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
What are your rights under UK GDPR?
You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability and to object to processing for direct marketing. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@lageanalyse24.de or via our contact page. If you are unsatisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or your local data protection authority. See our complaints procedure for further details.
How do we handle cookies and tracking?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for essential site functions, analytics, and advertising preferences. You can control cookie settings through your browser or our consent tool. For a full list of cookies used and how to opt out, please refer to our dedicated cookie policy. We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated websites without your consent.
Data security and international transfers
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction. As our company is registered in Gibraltar and our editorial team operates from Sweden, data may be transferred to countries within the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, all of which are subject to adequacy decisions or equivalent safeguards under UK GDPR. Where transfers to third countries occur, we ensure standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms are in place.
