I take the protection of your personal data seriously. I process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz, DSG).

Personal data means any information that can directly or indirectly identify you.

This Privacy Policy explains what data may be processed when you visit this website or contact me, the purposes for which it is processed, and the rights available to you.

3. Website Access and Server Log Files

When you visit this website, the hosting provider may automatically collect technical information in server log files. This may include:

The IP address of the device accessing the website
The date and time of access
The pages and files accessed
The amount of data transferred and the status of the request
The browser and operating system used
The referring website, where applicable

This processing is carried out to provide the website, ensure its security and stability, and investigate potential technical issues or unauthorised access.

Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in the secure and reliable operation of the website).

The data is stored only for as long as necessary for these purposes, unless statutory retention obligations or other lawful grounds require longer storage.

The specific hosting provider and actual retention periods must be verified before this Privacy Policy is published.

If you contact me by email or telephone, I process the information you provide. This may include your name, contact details and the contents of your message.

Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, where the enquiry relates to pre-contractual measures or the performance of a contract.
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, for other enquiries and related communication, where legitimate interests apply.

The data is deleted once the enquiry has been fully dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations or other legitimate grounds require further storage.

5. Enquiries About Purchasing Artworks

If you express an interest in one of my artworks or enquire about a purchase, personal data may be processed to respond to your enquiry, clarify the availability and details of the artwork, and prepare or complete a potential purchase.

Where necessary, this may also include processing payments, arranging delivery or collection, and complying with statutory documentation and record-keeping obligations.

Legal basis:

Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual measures and contract performance.
Article 6(1)(c) GDPR where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

The retention period depends on the purpose of processing and the applicable statutory retention requirements.
