Hosting

This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (512 2nd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you access the site, technical connection data (including IP address, date and time of access) is temporarily stored in server log files. This is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating the website securely). Netlify, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which provides the legal basis for transfers of personal data to the USA (adequacy decision, Art. 45 GDPR). More information: netlify.com/privacy.

Newsletter

You can sign up for our email newsletter by providing your first name and email address. We use this data to send you news, updates and stories about Ahab Spearfishing, including early access and product availability.

Processing is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent is confirmed via a double opt-in process: after signing up, you will receive a confirmation email. Your address is only added to our list after you click the confirmation link.

We use Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, 7 rue de Madrid, 75008 Paris, France) for email delivery and list management. Brevo acts as a data processor under Art. 28 GDPR and stores and processes your data on servers located within the European Union. More information: brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy.

Your data is stored for as long as you remain subscribed. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.

Cookies and Tracking

This website uses no tracking cookies and creates no user profiles. For anonymous visitor statistics we use the cookie-free analytics service Umami (see below). The only other exception is the video on our story page, which is requested from YouTube only after you actively click play (see below).

Web Analytics (Umami)

We use Umami to understand how many people visit this site, which pages they view and roughly where visits come from. Umami sets no cookies and stores no complete IP addresses; visits are counted via a short-lived, anonymised identifier that cannot be traced back to you. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in measuring and improving our website). You can object to this processing at any time (see Your Rights below).

Provider is Umami Software, Inc. (28 Geary St, Suite 650 #243, San Francisco, CA, USA), acting as our data processor under Art. 28 GDPR. Data is processed on servers in the USA and Germany; transfers to the USA are safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR). More information: umami.is/privacy.

Video (YouTube)

Our story page embeds a video hosted on YouTube. Nothing is loaded from YouTube or Google when the page opens; the preview image is served from our own server. The video itself is only requested after you actively click the play button. At that point a connection to YouTube is established and your IP address is transmitted, which is technically required to deliver the video.

We use YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), so no tracking cookies are set before playback. Loading the video is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, given by clicking play. Provider is Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA, which is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More information: policies.google.com/privacy.
