• Contact email: polarnovaofficial@gmail.com
• Domain: polarnovaofficial.com

For any legal enquiry, reach out to the email above. We answer within 30 calendar days.

When you interact with the website we may collect the following personal data — always because you provide it voluntarily:

• Email — if you subscribe to the newsletter.
• Name, email, subject and message — if you use the contact form.
• Anonymous server logs (IP, browser, country) — collected automatically by Vercel for technical and security reasons.

• Newsletter: to inform you about new releases, shows and exclusive material.
• Contact: to respond to your enquiry, proposal or request.
• Logs: to keep the site running, debug issues and protect against abuse.

We do not use your data for profiling, third-party advertising or sales. We do not share your data with advertising networks.

Under the GDPR and the Spanish LOPDGDD:

• Newsletter: your explicit consent given when submitting the form.
• Contact: your consent plus our legitimate interest in answering you.
• Logs: legitimate interest in keeping the site operational and secure.

For the site to function we rely on external providers. All of them comply with the GDPR:

• Vercel Inc. — site hosting and anonymous, cookieless analytics. Headquartered in the US, adhered to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
• Resend (Drift.com Inc.) — newsletter and contact-form email delivery. Servers in the EU (Ireland).

We never sell your data. We do not share your data with advertising networks.

• Newsletter: as long as you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe we remove your email from the list.
• Contact form: up to 6 months after the enquiry is resolved.
• Server logs: 30 days at most.

You may exercise the following rights over your data at any time:

• Access — know what data we hold about you.
• Rectification — correct inaccurate data.
• Erasure ("right to be forgotten") — request deletion.
• Objection — refuse certain processing.
• Portability — receive your data in a standard format.
• Restriction of processing.

To exercise any of these rights, email polarnovaofficial@gmail.com from the address that owns the data. We answer within 30 calendar days. If you believe your request was not handled properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Authority (aepd.es).

You can unsubscribe at any time, for free, with no justification, in two ways:

• Reply "UNSUBSCRIBE" (or "BAJA" in Spanish) to any email you receive from us.
• Use the native "Unsubscribe" button your email client shows (Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook). It is enabled through the standard List-Unsubscribe header.

This site does NOT use third-party tracking cookies (no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no advertising tags). For that reason we do not show a cookie banner.

The only things we use:

• Cookie "NEXT_LOCALE" — remembers the language you have chosen (EN or ES). Expires in one year. Considered strictly necessary, exempt from consent under EU rules.
• Local storage flag "polarnova_newsletter_seen" — indicates you have already seen the newsletter popup so we don't show it again. Not a cookie, not used for tracking.
• Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights — anonymous, cookieless analytics, GDPR-compliant by design.

We may update this document occasionally to reflect legal or product changes. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
