Privacy

Privacy policy

Protecting your personal data matters to me. I process it only on the basis of the law: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) and the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021 (TKG 2021). This website uses no cookies, no analytics or tracking tools and no advertising. Here you can read what data is nevertheless processed when you visit, for what purpose, for how long, and what rights you have.

A data protection officer is not required by law and has not been appointed.

2. Hosting at World4You and server log files

This website is hosted by World4You Internet Services GmbH, Wolfgang-Pauli-Straße 2, BT3, 4020 Linz, Austria (company register no. 232485s, Regional Court of Linz). World4You processes the data as a processor on my behalf and on my instructions, under a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. According to World4You, processing usually takes place within the European Union.

With every page request your browser sends technical details that the server may record in log files: IP address, date and time, page or file requested, amount of data transferred, status code, browser and operating system, and the page you came from (referrer). This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and keep it secure, for example to detect attacks. It is not combined with other data, not used to analyse how you use the site, and deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for this purpose. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in operating the website securely and reliably (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

3. Storage in your browser

When you switch the language, the website remembers your choice (German or English) in your browser’s “local storage”. This never leaves your browser and is not sent to me or anyone else. As it is strictly necessary to provide the function you explicitly asked for, no consent is required (§ 165(3) TKG 2021). You can delete it at any time in your browser settings. No cookies are set.

4. Fonts, scripts and images

Fonts, scripts, images and the site’s own video are loaded only from this website’s server. Simply viewing the pages sends no data to third parties such as Google. The map on the contact page is an image on this server (map data © OpenStreetMap contributors).

5. Videos from YouTube and Vimeo

Some project pages show videos hosted on YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) or Vimeo (Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, New York, NY 10001, USA). They load only when you click the preview image. Only then does your browser connect to that provider, sending in particular your IP address, the page you are on and technical details of your device; the provider may also use cookies or similar technologies. YouTube is embedded in its privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). The legal basis is the consent you give by clicking (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 165(3) TKG 2021). You can withdraw it at any time by reloading the page and not starting the video again; this does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

From the click on, Google and Vimeo are themselves responsible for the processing. Data may be transferred to the USA. For the USA the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision covering companies certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; otherwise the providers base the transfer on the Commission’s standard contractual clauses (Art. 45 and 46 GDPR). For details see the privacy policies of Google (policies.google.com/privacy) and Vimeo (vimeo.com/privacy).

6. Links to other websites

The website links to Instagram, Google Maps, TU Wien and project partners, among others. No data is sent to these providers until you follow a link; from then on their privacy policies apply.

7. Contact by email or phone

If you write to me or call me, I process your details (name, contact details, content of your message) only to answer your enquiry and, where relevant, to arrange a studio visit, a purchase or a commission. The legal basis is taking steps prior to or performing a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), otherwise my legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Emails are handled by World4You’s servers. I do not pass your data on to third parties. I delete it once your enquiry is settled and no further correspondence is expected; records of sales are kept as long as the law requires (seven years under § 132 of the Austrian Federal Fiscal Code, BAO).

8. No obligation to provide data, no automated decisions

You are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide me with personal data; without the technical details in section 2, however, the website cannot be displayed. There is no automated decision-making, including profiling (Art. 22 GDPR).

9. Your rights

You have the right at any time to access the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR), to rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)). Just write to info@studionero.at.

If you believe that the processing of your data breaches data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). In Austria this is the Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde), Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, phone +43 1 52 152-0, email dsb@dsb.gv.at, www.dsb.gv.at.
