This Privacy Policy details our practices concerning the collection, storage, processing, and protection of personal data in compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679, the Austrian Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz - DSG), and applicable international standards including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

2. Information We Collect and Grounds for Processing

We process personal data only when an adequate legal basis exists under Article 6 of the GDPR:

  • Inquiry and Communications Data: When you complete our editorial contact form or email our desk directly, we collect your name, email address, topic of inquiry, and message content. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of pre-contractual steps or communication at your request).
  • Technical Server Logs: Whenever you access our web pages, our web servers automatically log standardized diagnostic data: your IP address (anonymized prior to persistent storage), browser type and rendering engine, operating system, referrer URL, and access timestamps. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in ensuring web application security, mitigating brute-force abuse, and diagnosing delivery failures).
  • Consent-Based Storage: If you explicitly consent through our cookie consent interface, we store minimal local storage flags to respect your display preferences and compile anonymous aggregate metrics regarding guide viewership under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

3. Cookies and Local Storage Technologies

We do not employ intrusive tracking pixels, behavioral advertisement trackers, or cross-site identity scrapers. We employ minimal technical cookies and HTML5 local storage tokens necessary to keep our cookie consent banner hidden once dismissed and to preserve navigation state. For an exhaustive inventory of our cookies and instructions on how to disable them via browser settings, please review our comprehensive Cookie Policy.

4. Third-Party Data Processors

To deliver high-availability static web assets, we partner with reliable infrastructure providers under strict Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) pursuant to Article 28 GDPR. These processors include:

  • Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): Cloud infrastructure providers operating data nodes within the European Economic Area (EEA) to deliver cached HTML, CSS, and static imagery.
  • Corporate Email Systems: Encrypted mail routing infrastructure ensuring that direct inquiries to our desk remain protected by TLS 1.3 encryption in transit.

We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal information to commercial marketing conglomerates or data brokers under any circumstances.

5. International Data Transfers

Where any technical processor routes operational logs through servers located outside the European Economic Area, such transfers are safeguarded through the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or verified adequacy decisions, guaranteeing equivalent data protection levels.

6. Retention and Erasure Schedules

We adhere to strict data minimization principles. Technical access logs are purged on a rolling 30-day schedule. Contact form submissions and editorial correspondence are retained only for the duration needed to resolve your inquiry, plus a statutory archiving period of up to 12 months for compliance records, after which all personal records are permanently erased.

7. Your Statutory Rights Under GDPR and CCPA

Subject to statutory conditions, you possess the following enforceable rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR): Request a complete copy of any personal data we hold concerning your person.
  • Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): Request immediate correction of inaccurate or incomplete data records.
  • Right to Erasure / "To Be Forgotten" (Art. 17 GDPR): Request the total deletion of your personal records where legal retention grounds have lapsed.
  • Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 GDPR): Request the suspension of data processing during dispute reviews.
  • Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR): Receive your submitted personal records in an accessible, machine-readable format.
  • Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR): Object to any processing based on legitimate interests.
  • California Consumer Rights: CCPA consumers have the right to request disclosure of categories of collected data and the right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy privileges. We confirm we do not sell consumer data.
