Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal data matters to me. In line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), this policy explains what data is processed when you visit this website.

General

This is a static website with no user accounts, no newsletter and no online forms. No cookies are set and no analytics or tracking software (such as Google Analytics) is used. Personal data is processed only to the technically necessary extent described below.

Hosting & server log files

The website is served as a static site via GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P Kelly Jr Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, a subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation). When the site is accessed, the provider processes technically necessary connection data in server log files, in particular:

  • the (truncated) IP address of the requesting device,
  • date and time of access,
  • the file / URL requested,
  • volume of data transferred and HTTP status code,
  • browser, operating system and, where applicable, referrer.

This processing is required to deliver the website securely and reliably. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in technically faultless and secure operation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. A data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with GitHub; any data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Fonts (Google Fonts)

To ensure consistent presentation, this site loads fonts from Google Fonts (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). In doing so, your IP address is transmitted to Google when the page loads. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in an appealing, consistent presentation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Further information is available in Google's privacy policy.

Getting in touch

If you contact me by email or phone, I process the data you provide (e.g. name, contact details, content of your enquiry) solely to handle your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual or contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (responding to general enquiries). The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for that purpose, unless statutory retention periods apply.

Disclosure to third parties

Your data is not passed on, except to the service providers named above (hosting) within the scope of data processing, or where I am legally obliged to do so.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

  • access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16) and erasure (Art. 17),
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18),
  • data portability (Art. 20),
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21).

An informal message to office@sgs-consulting.at is sufficient to exercise these rights.

Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe that the processing of your data infringes data protection law, you may lodge a complaint with the Austrian supervisory authority: Austrian Data Protection Authority, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna.
