Questions about your data go to that address, and are answered by a person rather than a form.

What this site collects

No account system, no user profiles, no advertising, no cookies set by this site, and no analytics or tracking scripts. There is nothing here that follows you between pages or between visits.

Two things do involve your data:

1. The contact form

If you send a message through the contact page, the name, email address and message you type are transmitted to and stored by Netlify, which hosts this site, and forwarded to the studio email address above.

  • Why: to read and answer your message. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for enquiries about work or orders, and Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest in answering correspondence — for everything else.
  • How long: kept as long as the conversation is live, and deleted once it clearly isn't. Enquiries that lead to an order are kept for as long as Austrian bookkeeping rules require.
  • Who else sees it: nobody. Messages aren't passed to third parties, aren't added to a mailing list, and aren't used for marketing.

2. Server logs

This site is hosted by Netlify (Netlify, Inc., USA). Like any web host, Netlify's servers automatically record technical request data — IP address, browser and operating system, the page requested, the time of the request. This happens for every website you visit and is necessary to deliver the page and keep the service secure. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Because Netlify is a US company, this can involve transferring data outside the EU, carried out under the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Netlify's own privacy policy is at netlify.com/privacy.

Fonts

The Space Grotesk typeface is served from this site's own server, not from Google Fonts or any other font CDN. No third party learns your IP address because of a font. Space Grotesk is by Florian Karsten, used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask for access to the data held about you, correction of anything inaccurate, deletion, restriction of processing, a copy in portable form, or you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. Write to the address above and you'll get an answer.

You also have the right to complain to the Austrian data protection authority: Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna — dsb.gv.at.

Changes

If what the site does with data changes — analytics, a shop, anything new — this page is updated before the change goes live, and the date at the top changes with it.
