Privacy Notice
Although arad.se does not offer any commercial services from which personal data is collected in the traditional sense, it does process some personal data when you enter and browse the site.
Processing of Personal Data
| Categories of personal data | Purpose(s) | Legal basis | Retention time |
|---|---|---|---|
| IP Address | Website security; to ban and enforce blacklists of IP-addresses that pose a threat to the website (e.g. login security, brute force attacks). | Legitimate interest, as I believe that my interest in safeguarding the security of the website outweighs your interest in the protection of your personal data. | As long as necessary in order to maintain the website security. |
| Other technical information about your computer, such as operating system, web browser and screen resolution. Your approximate geographical location through parts of your IP-address (last byte is removed). | Website optimisation; to assess whether to act on design flaws visible on certain technical configurations or otherwise tailor the design thereafter. Statistics & audience adaption; to assess e.g. in what language future posts should be written in. | Legitimate interest, as I believe that my interest in receiving statistics and enhancing user experience outweighs your interest in the protection of your personal data. | 1 year. |
All personal data is processed inside the EU/EEA.
Your Privacy Rights
As controller of the processing of personal data, I am responsible for ensuring that the personal data is processed lawfully. That is why you may reach out to me directly via email if you wish to exercise your rights. You have, under certain conditions, the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability. Please note that since only a limited amount of data relating to visitors is collected, it is rarely, if at all, possible to identify you based on that data alone.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint to the competent national supervisory authority, in particular, in the country of your habitual residence, place of work or of an alleged infringement of the GDPR. In Sweden, the supervisory authority is The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection.
