Who is responsible

The controller for CapeBoreal.com and CapeBoreal.tech is Kempt Road Consulting Inc., P.O. Box 1, Cleveland, NS B0E 1J0, Canada, represented by its director Johannes Dombrowski. Email: info@capeboreal.com. We have not appointed a data protection officer. We apply the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

In short

• No cookies for ordinary readers, and no tracking across websites.
• Our own reach statistics are anonymous: we never store your IP address or browser fingerprint.
• Your email address is only stored if you subscribe to the newsletter or write a comment.
• Your reading mode and saved articles stay in your own browser.

Hosting and server logs

The websites run on our own server, rented from Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus, which processes data on our behalf. To deliver pages and keep the service secure, the server records each request: the shortened IP address (the last part is removed), the page, the time, the status code and the browser type. These logs are kept in a limited number of rotating files and are overwritten automatically. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Fonts and images are served from our own server. Your browser does not contact Google Fonts or other font services when you read our pages.

Reach statistics without cookies

To know which articles are read, we count page views, scroll depth, finished articles, shares and views and clicks on ad spaces. We do this on our own server, without cookies. To tell visits apart on one day, we calculate a hash from your IP address, browser and a secret that changes every day. The IP address and browser string themselves are never stored, and the hash cannot be linked to you or to visits on other days. If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not count you at all. The statistics are deleted after 13 months. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Newsletter

If you subscribe, we store your email address, the publication, your language, the frequency you chose, the wording you agreed to and the time of subscription and confirmation. We use double opt-in: you only receive the newsletter after confirming through a link we send you. You can unsubscribe at any time through the link in every email. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). After you unsubscribe we keep only what is needed to prove your consent and the unsubscription.

We have not started sending newsletters yet. Before we do, the email service provider that sends them on our behalf will be named here.

Comments

If you comment, we store your name (shown with the comment), your email address (never shown, used only if we need to contact you about the comment), the text and a daily-changing hash used to stop spam. Comments are checked before they are published. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) and (f) GDPR. Comments stay online as long as the article, unless you ask us to delete them.

Storage in your browser

Your reading mode (light, dark or warm) and the articles you save are stored in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and we cannot see it. You can delete it at any time in your browser settings.

Links to other websites

Sponsored offers link to the websites of CAN Experts and Küstenkurs, which belong to the same company. These links contain campaign tags (for example utm_source=capeboreal) so the partner can see which page the visit came from. No data is sent before you click. After that, the privacy policy of the website you visit applies. The same is true for the sources we link to in our articles.

Advertising by Google

Google AdSense is not active yet. When we switch it on, ads will be provided by Google Ireland Limited, and Google and its partners may use cookies to show and measure ads. In the EU, the UK and Switzerland we will ask for your consent through Google's certified consent message before any ad cookies are set (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). This section will be updated before that happens.

Data transfer to Canada

Our company is based in Canada. The European Commission has decided that Canada offers an adequate level of protection for personal data processed by commercial organisations under PIPEDA (Art. 45 GDPR).

Your rights

• Access to the data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Correction (Art. 16) and deletion (Art. 17)
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18) and objection to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21)
• Data portability (Art. 20)
• Withdrawing consent at any time, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3))
• Complaining to a data protection authority, for example in the EU country where you live, or to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada
