Privacy policy

Effective from 12 November 2026.

This policy explains what personal data is processed when you use dailymare.com, for what purpose, and what rights you have.

Summary

• dailymare.com does not use cookies and does not load advertising or analytics scripts from other companies. This is why you do not see a cookie banner.
• There are no user accounts.
• We count page views on our own server in a way that does not identify you.
• We store personal data only when you give it to us yourself: in a comment, in a poll vote or in an email.

Who is responsible for your data

The controller of your personal data is KPH Group Sp. z o.o., ul. Potęgowska 10/7, 80-174 Gdańsk, Poland, entered in the Register of Entrepreneurs of the National Court Register under KRS number 0001134578, NIP 8393250837, REGON 529995387.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer: Michał Iwański. For any question about your data, or to exercise your rights, write to the officer at info@dailymare.com.

Visit statistics

To know which articles are read, we count page views ourselves, without any outside analytics service.

When a page has loaded, your browser sends our server one short request containing the address of the page and the type and number of the content shown on it. As with any internet connection, our server sees your IP address and the name of your browser while it handles this request. We use them only for a moment:

• the browser name tells us whether the visit comes from an automated program, which we do not count;
• the IP address is turned into an irreversible code using a secret key that changes every day. The code lets us recognise that two views on the same day came from the same connection, so that we can count unique visitors. It is held only in the server's memory and is discarded at the end of the day. We do not save your IP address anywhere.

What we keep is a daily total for each page: the number of views and the number of unique visitors. These totals contain no information about any individual person. We do not follow you from day to day or across websites, we do not build profiles, and we do not share statistics with advertising networks.

The request is sent only when JavaScript is enabled in your browser.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in knowing how the service is used and in planning editorial work (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). You have the right to object to this processing, see "Your rights".

Preferences stored in your browser

If you switch between the light and the dark theme, your choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the name gm-theme. It stays on your device, it is not sent to us and it does not identify you. You can remove it at any time by clearing the site data in your browser.

Comments

When you post a comment, we process:

• the name or nickname you enter, which is published with the comment;
• your email address, which is never published and is used only to contact you about your comment if needed;
• the text of the comment;
• technical data used against spam and abuse: the daily code derived from your IP address (described under "Visit statistics"), the name of your browser, and the time it took to fill in the form.

Comments are reviewed by our editors before they are published.

Legal basis: your consent, given when you submit the comment (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), and our legitimate interest in protecting the service against spam and unlawful content (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We keep a comment for as long as it is published. You can ask us at any time to remove your comment and the data connected with it.

Polls

If an article contains a poll and you vote, we record your answer together with the daily code derived from your IP address, so that each visitor can vote once. The vote is not linked to your name or email address.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in reliable poll results (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Email contact

When you write to us, we process your email address, your name if you give it, and the content of your message in order to reply and to handle the matter. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering correspondence (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where the message concerns a contract, steps taken at your request before entering into it (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). We keep correspondence for as long as it is needed to handle and document the matter.

Newsletter

We do not currently run a newsletter on dailymare.com.

Server logs

Our web server does not keep an access log with visitors' IP addresses. Technical logs record errors and requests for addresses that no longer exist: the address requested, the page that linked to it, and whether the request came from an automated program. They contain no IP addresses and are overwritten automatically after a short time.

For security reasons, the server's firewall keeps a short record of blocked connection attempts, which includes the IP addresses they came from.

Content from other services

Videos, maps and posts from social networks are not loaded when you open a page. You see a preview in their place. The content is loaded from the external provider (for example YouTube) only when you click the preview. The provider then receives your IP address and may use its own cookies, in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Who receives your data

We use the following providers, which process data on our behalf:

• Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany): the server on which the service runs, located in Germany;
• Cloudflare, Inc. (United States): domain name service, storage and delivery of images and other files, and storage of backup copies. When your browser downloads an image, Cloudflare processes your IP address in order to deliver it;
• Fastmail Pty Ltd (Australia): email.

We do not sell personal data and we do not pass it to advertisers. We disclose data to public authorities only where the law requires it.

Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Fastmail stores mailboxes in the United States; this transfer is protected by standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

How long we keep data

• Daily code derived from the IP address: until the end of the day, in server memory only.
• Daily totals of views: without time limit, because they contain no personal data.
• Comments: for as long as they are published, or until you ask us to remove them.
• Poll votes: for as long as the poll results are published.
• Email correspondence: for as long as it is needed to handle and document the matter.
• Technical and security logs: a short time, overwritten automatically.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• access your data and receive a copy of it;
• have incorrect data corrected;
• have your data erased;
• have the processing restricted;
• receive the data you gave us in a portable format, where the processing is based on your consent;
• object to processing based on our legitimate interest;
• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, write to info@dailymare.com. Visit statistics are kept only as totals that cannot be linked to a person, so we are not able to find or remove the views of a particular reader.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Poland this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa. You may also contact the authority in the country where you live.

Automated decisions

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing and we do not profile readers.

Changes to this policy

We update this page whenever the way we process data changes. The date at the top shows when the current version took effect.
