Bremerhaven informs: New web push notifications for news!

There is exciting news in Bremerhaven: the city library is opening a new exhibition called “If I Could Fly”. This registration not only attracts book lovers, but also everyone who would like to take a look at innovative exhibition formats. The event is another sign that culture is very important in Bremerhaven and that the library is always breaking new ground to inspire visitors. Bremerhaven.de reports that the new exhibition is now open to the public and is a creative experience that is thought-provoking while offering interactive elements.

But that's not all the city has to offer! In times of digital communication, Bremerhaven.de has also launched a web push notification service. This new service allows users to receive selected messages directly to their device without storing any personal data. Only the selection of subscribed messages is stored locally on the device, which excludes the identification of the user. Anyone who visits Bremerhaven.de more often could benefit from this function, as the notification settings can be adjusted at any time.

How does the web push service work?

Web push notifications are easy to use and only require user consent. At this point you want to make sure everyone is well informed: “Would you like to be informed about news and exclusive offers?” is one of the more common questions users are asked. Additionally, users should be aware that they can revoke their permission at any time. In accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this is a central point of the service.

Additionally, it should be mentioned that the notification feature is not supported on some devices. It may happen that the browser has to remain open in the background to receive the messages. After 14 days without visiting Bremerhaven.de, notifications are automatically deactivated, which serves as an additional security measure so as not to flood the user with information.

Data protection is important

The use of the service takes strict data protection standards into account. This means that data is not only anonymized, but also transmitted securely. For users who are wondering how their data is processed, the Bremerhaven.de website offers clear information. The company, Business Operations for Information Technology Bremerhaven (BIT), headed by Sabine Busch-Cole, ensures that all information is collected, processed and transmitted via secure systems.

Responsibility for data protection lies with Frank Schildt, who is available as a contact person. When using the website, no IP addresses are stored and logging only takes place for seven days for security checks before the data is deleted. If you would like to find out more about this, you can read the data protection declaration on the website.

At a time when digital communication is becoming more important than ever, Bremerhaven is once again showing a good knack for dealing with new technologies. Whether it's the creative exhibition at the city library or the new web push notification service - the city moves with the times and offers its citizens numerous offers that invite them to discover and find out more.
