Last updated: January 10, 2026
Expedition R (expedition-r.com) is committed to protecting visitor privacy and personal data. All provided and collected information is processed in accordance with GDPR and ePrivacy requirements, used only for lawful purposes, and protected by appropriate security measures.

Personal data
When visitors submit comments or use the contact form on the website, Expedition R directly collects the information provided. This includes the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent details, which are used to help detect and prevent spam.
Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This enables Expedition R to automatically recognise and approve follow-up comments, ensuring continuity and a seamless user discussion experience.
Names and email addresses are collected solely to respond to enquiries. The processing of this data is based on the user’s request and Expedition R’s legitimate interest in maintaining effective communication, in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1)(b) and (f). Personal data is neither shared with third parties nor used for marketing purposes. All information is provided voluntarily and processed in compliance with applicable ePrivacy regulations.
Apart from information provided through comments and the contact form, Expedition R does not collect personal data by any other means.
Cookies and tracking
Expedition R only uses essential cookies to ensure that the website functions correctly, such as remembering comment information and enabling forms. These cookies are strictly necessary and are in full compliance with GDPR and ePrivacy requirements. They do not track any personal data beyond what the visitor voluntarily provides.
Furthermore, website analytics is managed using Independent Analytics, a privacy-focused solution that measures website traffic without the use of tracking cookies or similar identifiers. All visitor data remains fully anonymised at all times – any collected data, including IP addresses, are encrypted into non-identifiable strings and temporarily stored on the website’s own server. No third-party analytics providers are involved. By avoiding the use of cookies and personal data, Independent Analytics complies with GDPR regulations (in particular articles, 5, 6 and 25) and the ePrivacy directive.
Expedition R uses this solution to analyse website traffic in a privacy-conscious manner. This approach allows for the ongoing enhancement of its services and the overall website user experience.
Data sharing and disclosure
Expedition R respects visitor privacy and does not share or disclose any personal data to third parties.
Third party websites and links
The website (expedition-r.com) may contain links to third-party websites or online platforms. These external sites are neither affiliated with nor controlled by Expedition R and therefore fall outside the scope of this privacy policy. Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy, security policies, and other terms and conditions of these sites independently before use.
Data subject rights
Visitors have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of any personal data held by Expedition R. If visitors have submitted comments or communicated via email, they may request a copy of the information provided. Visitors also have the right to request the removal of any submitted data, except for information that Expedition R is required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Visitors are encouraged to exercise their rights by contacting Expedition R at: [email protected].
Data retention periods
Comments on the website are retained indefinitely to preserve readability and a consistent user experience. Names and email addresses may be kept for an extended period but are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and deleted once any correspondence or interaction with the visitor has concluded, wherever reasonably possible.
