Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your data.

Last Updated: November 26, 2024

Your privacy matters to us at The Mesob Journal. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use our website, how we handle it, and the rights you have under data protection law. By visiting or using mesobjournal.com (the “Site”), you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect and process only the information necessary to operate our Site and services responsibly:

  • Information you provide directly: such as your name, email address, or other details when you subscribe to our newsletter, leave a comment, or contact us.
  • Technical and usage data: including IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and pages you visit. This data is collected automatically, often via cookies or similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal data only for clear and lawful purposes:

  • Improving the Site: analyzing traffic and usage so we can publish better content and optimize user experience.
  • Communication: sending newsletters or updates when you have subscribed to receive them. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Legal obligations: meeting our responsibilities under German, EU, and international law, including responding to lawful requests from authorities.
  • Consent: when you voluntarily subscribe to a newsletter or agree to cookies. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
  • Legitimate interest: for essential functions such as site analytics or safeguarding our services, provided your rights are not overridden.
  • Legal obligation: when data processing is required by law.

4. Cookies and Tracking

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tools to remember your preferences, improve performance, and analyze traffic. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Full details are provided in our Cookie Policy.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Data

We do not sell your personal data. Data is only shared when necessary:

  • Service providers: trusted third parties who help us with hosting, analytics, or email services. They are contractually bound to handle your data securely and lawfully.
  • Legal reasons: if required by courts, regulators, or to protect our rights.
  • Business transfers: if our operation changes ownership, personal data may be transferred in line with this policy.

6. Data Security

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. While no system is completely secure, we continually update our safeguards to meet industry standards.

7. International Data Transfers

Our Site is hosted in Germany, but some service providers may process data outside the EU/EEA. Where this occurs, we ensure adequate protections (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place, or data is transferred only to countries recognized as providing sufficient protection under GDPR.

8. Data Retention

We only keep your data for as long as necessary for the purposes described here or as required by law. If you ask us to delete your data, we will do so promptly unless retention is legally necessary (e.g., tax or compliance obligations).

9. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the EU/EEA, you have specific rights under the GDPR, including:

  • Access — to know what personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure (“Right to be forgotten”) — to request deletion of your data.
  • Restriction — to limit how your data is processed in certain cases.
  • Portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Objection — to processing, including for direct marketing.
  • Withdrawal of consent — if our processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us (see Section 11).

10. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our services. The “Last Updated” date will always indicate the latest version. Significant updates will be highlighted on the Site.
