Privacy Policy & Legal Framework
Our unwavering commitment to absolute data sovereignty. Discover how our self-hosted, cloud-independent architecture guarantees that your personal information never falls into the hands of third-party commercial platforms.
1. Our Commitment to Data Sovereignty
At tallshipchannel.com Ltd. and Rederij Vrieling Waterman, we believe that digital privacy is just as critical as physical safety on the open water. Unlike conventional media platforms that rely on commercial public clouds and third-party tracking networks, our entire infrastructure is self-hosted. Your data remains strictly within our sovereign server architecture operating from our operational bases in Harlingen, Netherlands, and Normandy, France.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the essential data required to deliver our broadcast services, process souvenir orders, and manage VIP hospitality bookings:
- Account & Subscription Data: Names and email addresses provided when subscribing to Tall Ship Magazine or our digital streaming services.
- Transaction Details: Securely processed payment information necessary for merchandise orders and L'Armada VIP passes.
- Operational Logs: Standard server connection logs required for Technitium DNS routing and WireGuard tunnel security, purged regularly and never shared or monetized.
3. Zero Commercial Cloud Dependencies
We do not utilize third-party analytics trackers, advertising networks, or external cloud databases. Because our platform runs on localized Proxmox VE hypervisors and private storage arrays, your viewing habits, search queries, and personal communications are insulated from corporate surveillance and data brokers.
4. GDPR Compliance & Your Rights
In accordance with European data protection regulations, you retain complete ownership of your personal information. You have the right to request full access, correction, or permanent deletion of any data associated with your account at any time by contacting our privacy desk.
