Bremerhaven starts digital health campaign: push notifications for everyone!

Today, June 13, 2025, Bremerhaven.de is launching a new web push notification service that allows users to receive selected messages directly on their devices. This innovative function confirms that Bremerhaven relies on modern communication methods to keep citizens always informed. As Bremerhaven.de reports,, the service does not store any of the users' personal data. Only the selection of subscribed messages remains stored locally on the device, which means that the identity of the user cannot be determined.

The introduction of the web push notification service shows that the city administration attaches great importance to data protection. The legal framework set by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires clear consent from users before using the service. Users must agree to receive it via a consent dialog that ensures they are informed of all relevant details. Signalize emphasizes that consent must be voluntary and unambiguous. The ability to revoke consent at any time is also a central component of data protection.

Flexibility and user control

Another plus of this service is the flexibility for users. They can adjust the notification settings at any time or deactivate the function, as Bremerhaven.de explains. However, it should be noted that not all devices support this feature and that on some devices the browser must be open in the background to actually receive the notifications. If there are no visits to the website after 14 days, the notifications will be automatically deactivated.

In addition, it is important to mention that this type of communication also potentially poses risks, especially when involving third parties from countries with different levels of data protection. It is therefore even more important that users are well informed and aware of the options and potential risks. According to data protection practices, providers must ensure that all data protection requirements have been checked and implemented before implementing such mobile services.

The future of communication in Bremerhaven

The introduction of web push notifications is a further step into the digital future of communication in Bremerhaven. This possibility of immediate information brings advantages such as current news and exclusive offers without having to reveal personal data. If you want to stay up to date, you can easily keep up to date, while at the same time protecting your own data is a top priority.

Overall, with this step, the city of Bremerhaven shows that it has a good knack for using modern technologies in accordance with data protection regulations and at the same time offering its citizens a valuable service.
