Privacy policy

The legally binding version of this privacy policy is the German version. This is a faithful summary.

1. Controller

Progressive Media GmbH, Gut Schmalzhof 1b G3, 82343 Pöcking, Germany. Email: info@thepoliticalcarnival.net

2. In short

This website sets no tracking or advertising cookies, uses no analytics services and embeds no third-party content. Fonts are served from our own server. Search runs entirely on our server.

3. Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted by Bulk Buy Hosting, a service of Site Arrow Pte. Ltd., 160 Robinson Road, #14-04, SBF Center, Singapore 068914. The server is located in Canada (Toronto), for which an EU adequacy decision exists (Decision 2002/2/EC); the provider itself is based in Singapore, outside the EU.

When you visit, the server automatically processes data your browser sends: IP address, date and time, the page requested, referrer, browser and operating system. This is technically necessary to deliver the site and keep it secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The hosting panel compiles aggregate access statistics (AWStats) from these logs, without cookies and without sharing data with third parties. We do not combine the logs with other data. They are archived automatically and deleted after three months at the latest unless needed to investigate a security incident.

4. Email

If you email us, we process your details to answer your message (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR) and delete them once they are no longer needed and no legal retention period applies.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR), and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, for example the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (BayLDA).
