1. Introduction & Commitment

gretbrobrem ("we", "our", "us") operates the publication website gretbrobrem.pro. As an independent journalistic entity headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, we respect the confidentiality of our readership and protect our sources under the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and journalistic protection standards.

2. Data We Process

  • Patron Communications: When you subscribe to our 190 EUR annual tier via email, we retain your email address and payment invoice metadata exclusively for billing and subscription management.
  • Direct Correspondence: When you email or phone our desk, we store correspondence solely for editorial verification and dialogue.
  • Technical Server Logs: Standard web server logs collect IP addresses, browser agents, and timestamps strictly for system security and intrusion detection, retained for no more than 30 days.

3. Cookies & Advertising Tag Integration

We deploy Google Ads measurement infrastructure (Tag ID: AW-18495962719) exclusively to assess readership acquisition campaigns. To respect reader autonomy:

  • Google Consent Mode v2: All advertising parameters (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) are set to denied by default on page load.
  • Reader Choice: Tracking scripts activate only if you explicitly click "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you choose "Decline", tags remain strictly inactive.
  • No Conversion Code: We do not deploy conversion tracking labels, personal financial trackers, or third-party behavioral fingerprinting.

4. Data Retention & Third-Party Transfers

We never sell, rent, or monetize reader personal data. We do not provide subscriber lists to commercial data brokers. Information is shared only with verified infrastructure providers (e.g., direct banking gateways or encrypted hosting servers) under non-disclosure agreements.

5. Your Rights & Access Requests

Under PIPEDA and applicable privacy standards, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, or ask for complete deletion of your subscriber record. Inquiries should be addressed directly to our Privacy Officer at:
