What personal data do we collect and why?
We collect only the personal data necessary to deliver our journalism, operate our website, communicate with readers, and comply with legal obligations. We never collect data indiscriminately.
When you visit sachindex.de, we automatically receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you view. This data is used for website security, performance monitoring, and aggregated audience analytics that help us understand which stories resonate with readers.
If you contact us via email at info@sachindex.de, tips@sachindex.de, corrections@sachindex.de or any other function address, we retain your name, email address and the content of your message solely to respond to your query and to maintain accurate records for editorial accountability. If you subscribe to our newsletter via /about-us/newsletter/, we store your email address and preferred topics to deliver the service you requested.
We do not process special category data (such as political opinions, health information or religious beliefs) unless you voluntarily provide it in correspondence, and we delete it when it is no longer needed.
How do we use cookies and similar technologies?
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the site functions correctly, to measure audience reach and to support our advertising and affiliate revenue models. No cookie data is used for behavioural advertising without your explicit consent.
Our Cookie Policy provides a detailed breakdown of each cookie we use, its purpose, its retention period and how you can manage your preferences. That policy is incorporated into this Privacy Policy by reference.
You may adjust your cookie settings at any time through your browser or via the consent management tool displayed on your first visit. Disabling certain functional cookies may affect site performance or prevent some features from working.
How do we share and store your data?
We share your personal data only with trusted third-party service providers who process it on our behalf under strict contractual obligations. We never sell your personal data to any third party.
Our processors include cloud hosting providers, newsletter distribution platforms, analytics services and advertising partners. Each provider is required by contract to process data only in accordance with our instructions and to maintain appropriate security measures. Our Sources & Standards page details the editorial safeguards that extend to our data handling.
Data is stored primarily within the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Where transfers to jurisdictions outside the EEA or UK occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. You may request a copy of these safeguards by contacting privacy@sachindex.de.
How long do we keep your data?
We retain personal data only for as long as the purpose for which it was collected remains valid and, where applicable, for the duration of any statutory retention period. After that, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised after 26 months. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe, after which your email address is removed within 30 days. Correspondence and tip submissions are retained for two years to support editorial accountability and our Corrections Policy processes, then deleted.
What are your rights under UK GDPR?
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, and port your personal data, as well as the right to object to processing where it is based on legitimate interests. These rights are exercisable free of charge.
To make a request, contact our Chefredaktör Daniel Winter at anders.lindqvist@sachindex.de or write to us at Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. We will respond within one month.
