Privacy Policy
This page explains which personal data is processed when you visit stormvarg.com, why it is processed, and which rights you have.
Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Stormvarg Records, Lydinge Tranmossen 281, 747 94 Alunda, Sweden
Contact: info@stormvarg.com. If you have questions about data protection or would like a copy of your data, write to us at this address.
At a glance
The key points first — the details follow in the sections below.
- This website sets no cookies of its own and stores no personal data in your browser.
- There are no analytics or advertising services, no tracking, and no sale of data.
- Your email address is only collected if you request a download (Alva Wallpapers, Free Songs) — and it is used for nothing else.
- For the newsletter we only store your email address if you sign up yourself via the “Join” field.
- You can withdraw your consent and ask for your data to be deleted at any time.
Access data (server log files)
When you open this website, our hosting provider automatically processes so-called server log files: IP address, date and time of access, the page requested, the referring page, and the browser and operating system used.
This data is required to deliver the website technically and to maintain stability and security. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — the legitimate interest in secure operation. The data is not merged with other records and is not used to evaluate your browsing behaviour. Log files are deleted after a short period unless they are needed to investigate a specific security incident.
Email address for downloads
On the “Alva Wallpapers” and “Free Songs” pages you can submit an email address to receive download links. We store that address in a database in order to provide the download you asked for.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performing pre-contractual steps or providing the service), supplemented by Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR where you have given explicit consent.
The address is used for this purpose only: no newsletter, no advertising, no transfer to third parties for marketing. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, and we will then delete the address. Write to info@stormvarg.com.
The files themselves sit in a private storage area that is not publicly reachable. After registration you receive personal links that are usually valid for 24 hours, after which they stop working.
Newsletter
Using the “Join” field on the start page you can sign up for news from Stormvarg (new music, releases, exclusive stories). We store your email address and the time of sign-up for this. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The address is not passed to third parties for marketing. You can withdraw your consent at any time — by email to info@stormvarg.com or via the unsubscribe link in every message — and we will then delete the address.
Cookies and local storage
This website itself sets no cookies and uses no browser storage to keep personal data. Please note that the third-party services listed below may set their own cookies when their content is loaded.
Embedded third-party services
Fonts: this page loads Google Fonts from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Your IP address is transmitted to Google so the fonts can be delivered to your browser. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (consistent presentation). More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Spotify player: the start page embeds a music player from Spotify (Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, SE-111 53 Stockholm, Sweden; open.spotify.com). When the player loads, your IP address and device information are transmitted to Spotify, and Spotify may set cookies there. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. More information: https://www.spotify.com/legal/privacy-policy/
Onward transfer and processing on our behalf
We do not sell personal data. To operate the website we work with hosting and platform providers that process your data on our instructions and on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR). This can involve processing outside the EU/EEA, in which case we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long we keep data
Email addresses are deleted as soon as you withdraw your consent or ask for deletion, and at the latest once the download purpose ends. Access log files are deleted after a short period. Personal download links stop working automatically when their validity expires.
Your rights
You have the right to information (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20), and the right to object to processing based on a legitimate interest (Art. 21). You can withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3)) without affecting the lawfulness of processing up to that point.
No automated decision-making, including profiling, takes place.
If you believe that the processing of your data violates the GDPR, you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent authority in Sweden is the Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY), https://www.imy.se.
Data security
Content is transmitted over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Download files are kept in a private storage area that is not publicly reachable and are only accessible through personal, time-limited links.

We update this policy when our processing activities or the legal requirements change. The version published on this page applies.
