Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
1. Overview and Scope
At velvetrainscand.com, operated by Nordic Rail Editorial House, we respect the fundamental right to digital privacy. As an independent informational platform providing railway analysis across Scandinavia, we operate under a principle of strict data minimization. This policy outlines how information is handled when you browse our website.
2. Data We Do Not Collect
We do not require user accounts, logins, or social profile authentication. We do not process commercial financial transactions or store credit card numbers. When you use our journey drafting form on the Contact page, all text generation and file preparation take place entirely within your local browser memory using client-side JavaScript; no form data is transmitted to or saved on our servers unless you deliberately send an email to our editorial desk.
3. Server Logs and Technical Metrics
Like virtually all standard web hosting infrastructures, our web servers automatically log basic technical metrics necessary to maintain server stability, monitor bandwidth load, and prevent malicious DDoS intrusions. These logs may record:
- Your masked Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- Browser user-agent and operating system details.
- Requested web pages, timestamps, and referring URLs.
Server logs are purged cyclically and are never correlated with identifiable individual personas.
4. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance
Under European Union and Norwegian data privacy frameworks (including Regulation EU 2016/679), visitors maintain specific statutory rights regarding any personal data:
- Right of Access: You may request verification of whether we store any personal correspondence from you.
- Right of Erasure: You may request the deletion of any direct email communication sent to our editorial desk.
- Right to Restriction: You may challenge any automated data processing.
