Privacy

The short version: this website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other companies. It collects your email address only if you give it to us, and only for the reason you gave it.

Who is responsible

Controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Visiting this website

The site is a static website hosted on Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you open a page, your browser sends technical data that every web server receives: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the referring page and your browser's user agent. Cloudflare processes these data to deliver the pages and to protect the site against attacks and abuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure, working website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We do not use these data to identify you and do not combine them with other data.

Cloudflare may process data in the USA. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and its data processing addendum includes the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Details: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

No cookies, no tracking

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or tracking tools. The fonts are served from this website itself, not from Google or another provider. Links to Instagram and Threads are plain links: nothing is transmitted to Meta unless you click one, and from then on Meta's privacy policy applies.

If you write to us

If you send an email, we use your address and your message only to answer you (Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR). We delete the correspondence when the conversation is finished, unless there is a legal duty to keep it.

The Sunday letter (newsletter)

The newsletter has not opened yet, and no addresses are collected. When it opens, this section will say how it works before the first address is stored.

How long we keep data

Only as long as needed for the purpose above: emails until the conversation is finished. Cloudflare's own log retention is described in its privacy policy.

Your rights

You have the right to access the data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR), to have it corrected (Art. 16) or deleted (Art. 17), to restrict its processing (Art. 18), to receive it in a portable format (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21). Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3)). Write to [email protected].

You can also complain to a supervisory authority. In Austria this is the Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, [email protected], dsb.gv.at.
