Bremerhaven starts new push service: messages directly to your cell phone!
There’s news in Bremerhaven! As bremerhaven.de reports, the city is launching a new web push notification service. This allows users to receive current news directly on their devices. A simple step for anyone who wants to stay up to date without having to constantly open an app.
It is important to know that this service does not store any personal data. Only the selection of subscribed messages remains. The data is stored locally on the user’s device and does not enable identification. This provides a pleasant relief, as data protection is very important here.
How does the new service work?
Signing up for the notification service is voluntary and requires informed consent that meets the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means that users can adjust their notification settings or deactivate notifications at any time if they no longer like the service. In addition, after 14 days without visiting the website, notifications are automatically deactivated, which at the same time ensures order.
Watch out! In order to receive the notifications, in some cases the browser on which the service has been activated must remain open in the background. Not all devices support this service, which is why interested parties should ensure that their technology is compatible before registering.
Privacy and information
Particular attention is paid to data protection concerns, particularly with regard to service providers from third countries such as the USA, where an adequate level of data protection does not exist. Users should be informed that they can revoke their consent at any time. Details on data protection can be found on the pages of signalize.com and the Bremerhaven web platform.
These new web push notifications could be an interesting way for many to stay informed about local events and news. Direct communication between provider and user is currently offered without the need for personal information. This keeps communication simple, fast and data protection compliant.
