Privacy & your data

Controller & contact

Technical requests & hosting

Technical request data such as IP address, time, URL and browser headers is processed to deliver and secure this site, based on legitimate interests under GDPR Article 6(1)(f). Hosting supplier: STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. The web server keeps no access log for this site. Error logs may contain request details and IP addresses; daily rotation retains 14 log files, approximately two weeks under normal operation.

Browser storage & older previews

Language is selected in the URL without a preference cookie. This version does not request your email. An older preview may have saved an email locally under election-hq:alerts:v1. Use the button below to delete it; no email delivery was connected.

Google Analytics

This site loads Google Analytics 4 only if you agree in the banner. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Before you agree, no Google script loads, no analytics cookie is set and your browser does not contact Google.

Consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and §25(1) TDDDG permits optional readership measurement. Google processes pages, visit time, referrer, browser/device information, approximate location and cookie identifiers (_ga and _ga_*). Cookie lifetimes can reach two years and renew with activity. The tag disables Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals. This property is set to 14 months for user/event-level data; this does not limit all aggregated reports, and deletion follows Google’s retention process.

Data may be processed by Google LLC in the United States. Google’s applicable processing and transfer terms describe the EU–US Data Privacy Framework for certified recipients and standard contractual clauses where relevant. These mechanisms do not mean that all processing stays in Europe or that US authority access is impossible. Google’s privacy and processing terms are linked below.

Withdraw consent at any time below. Withdrawal stops future measurement and does not invalidate earlier processing. Accessible _ga cookies are removed and the page reloads; this does not erase historical data already held by Google. Your choice remains in this browser under usa-election:analytics-consent until changed or site storage is cleared; it is not sent to our server.

Email, external services & required data

We use your email address and message to answer your request (GDPR Article 6(1)(f), or 6(1)(b) for contractual requests; 6(1)(c) for statutory rights requests). Correspondence is kept as long as necessary for resolution, legal retention or claims. Reading requires no account or voluntary personal details; technical connection data is necessary. We make no automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about visitors.

Advertising & changes

No advertising network or advertising tracker is active today. Before adding advertising, new tracking, accounts or embeds, we will update this notice and any required consent controls. Last revised: November 5, 2026.

Your rights & complaints

Where applicable, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction and data portability, object to processing, or withdraw consent for future processing based on consent. Contact the controller using the details below. You may complain to a supervisory authority, including the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

External links open separate websites with their own privacy notices. News and statistics are fetched by our server; your browser does not contact those data APIs. If you email us, your message is handled to answer your request; keep sensitive information out of ordinary email.
