Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit this website or contact me.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

2. Controller

The controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website is:

Clemens Kupsch
Kreuzbachweg 6
8074 Raaba-Grambach
Austria

Email: contact@clemenskupsch.com

3. Website hosting

This website is hosted by:

IONOS SE
Elgendorfer Straße 57
56410 Montabaur
Germany

When you access this website, the hosting provider may process technical information that is necessary to deliver the website and maintain its security and stability.

This information may include:

— IP address
— date and time of access
— requested page or file
— browser type and browser version
— operating system
— referring website
— transferred data volume
— access status and server response codes

The processing is necessary to provide the website, ensure its technical operation, detect misuse and maintain system security.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure, reliable and efficient operation of the website.

The hosting provider may store this information in server log files for a limited period in accordance with its technical and security requirements.

IONOS provides web hosting services and makes automatically generated server log files and access statistics available within its hosting products.

4. Contact by email

This website contains email links that allow you to contact me directly.

When you send me an email, I process the information contained in your message. This generally includes:

— your email address
— your name, if provided
— the contents of your message
— any additional information or attachments you voluntarily provide

The data is processed for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and communicating with you.

Depending on the nature of your enquiry, the legal basis is:

— Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, where the communication relates to a potential or existing contractual relationship; or
— Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, where the processing is necessary to respond to a general enquiry.

My legitimate interest is to receive and respond to messages addressed to me.

Your information will be retained for as long as necessary to process the enquiry and, where applicable, for the duration of any statutory retention or limitation periods.

Please note that ordinary email communication may not be fully secure. Do not send sensitive or confidential information by unencrypted email.

5. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland

Google Analytics helps me understand how visitors use the website. For this purpose, Google Analytics may collect or derive information such as:

— pages viewed
— approximate geographic location
— browser and device information
— operating system
— referral source
— session duration
— interactions with the website
— technical identifiers
— consent status

Google Analytics is activated only after you have given your consent through the website's consent banner.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, the relevant provisions of Austrian telecommunications law concerning the storage of or access to information on a user's device.

You may refuse consent or withdraw previously given consent at any time. Refusing or withdrawing consent does not affect your ability to use the website.

According to Google, Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses from users in the European Union. IP addresses are used for location determination and then discarded before the data is stored.

Google may process analytics data on servers located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers are based on appropriate safeguards recognised under applicable data-protection law.

The retention period for user-level and event-level data within Google Analytics is configured in the Google Analytics property settings.

Further information about Google Analytics privacy controls is available in Google's documentation.

6. Consent management

When you first visit the website, you are asked whether you consent to the use of optional analytics technologies.

Google Analytics will not be activated unless you actively select the option to accept analytics.

Your consent choice may be stored locally in your browser so that the website can remember your selection. This storage is technically necessary to respect and document your privacy preference.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the Privacy Settings link available on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

7. Fonts

The fonts used on this website are stored locally on the website's hosting infrastructure.

When the website is loaded, no connection to Google Fonts servers is established for the purpose of downloading font files.

No personal data is therefore transferred to Google solely as a result of displaying the website's typography.

8. External links

This website may contain links to third-party websites, including LinkedIn.

A connection to the third-party provider is established only when you actively click such a link. The privacy practices of the respective third-party provider then apply.

No LinkedIn plugins, feeds or tracking components are embedded directly into this website.

9. Cookies and local storage

The website may use technically necessary browser storage to:

— remember your privacy and consent preferences;
— provide essential website functionality; and
— maintain the secure and reliable operation of the website.

Optional analytics cookies or comparable technologies are used only after you have given your consent.

You can delete stored cookies and website data through your browser settings. Doing so may cause the website to ask for your consent choice again.

10. Recipients of personal data

Personal data may be processed by service providers that support the operation of this website, particularly:

— the website hosting provider;
— the email provider;
— Google, where you have consented to Google Analytics.

These providers process data only to the extent necessary to provide their respective services and in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

Personal data is not sold.

11. International data transfers

Some service providers may process data outside Austria or outside the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area, the transfer takes place only where a legally recognised transfer mechanism or another applicable safeguard is available.

This may include an adequacy decision by the European Commission or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

12. Data retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Longer retention may apply where required by statutory obligations or where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

13. Your rights

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the right to:

— obtain information about whether and how your personal data is processed;
— request access to your personal data;
— request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
— request deletion of your personal data;
— request restriction of processing;
— receive certain data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
— object to processing based on legitimate interests; and
— withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.

To exercise your rights, contact:
contact@clemenskupsch.com

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.

In Austria, the competent authority is:

Austrian Data Protection Authority
Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde
Barichgasse 40–42
1030 Vienna
Austria

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated where the website, the services used or the applicable legal requirements change.
