What happens with your data.
This is an English translation for convenience. The German version is legally authoritative.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is Markus Angerer, Schillerstraße 2, 8280 Fürstenfeld, Austria. You can reach me at hello@markus-angerer.com. No data protection officer has been appointed, as the conditions of Art. 37 GDPR do not apply.
This website runs at Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany. When you visit, the server briefly stores the usual access data, such as IP address, time and the page requested. These log files serve secure, stable operation and the prevention of misuse. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in secure operation under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Log files are deleted after 14 days.
If you use the contact form, I store your name, email address and message so I can reply to you. The message is also sent by email to hello@markus-angerer.com. The legal basis is answering your enquiry as a pre-contractual measure, or my legitimate interest in replying under Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR. I delete the message once your matter is resolved and no retention obligation applies.
The newsletter and interest sign-ups, for example for editions, workshops or coaching, use double opt-in. You confirm your email address through a link in an email before I send any further messages. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Delivery runs through the provider Brevo. Your data stays stored until you unsubscribe. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out until then.
Purchases of books and editions run through the payment provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. Your payment data, such as your card number, goes exclusively to Stripe. I never see or store it. For the order itself I store your email address, the order, the amount paid, the related Stripe identifiers and, for physical products, your delivery address. The legal basis is performance of the contract under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Invoices and other tax-relevant records are subject to the retention duty under § 132 of the Austrian Federal Fiscal Code. The legal basis for that is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. I keep these records for seven years.
When you buy a digital edition, I store, as proof of your consent, the wording of the consent, its version, the time and an irreversible check value derived from your IP address, in order to document your consent. I do not store the IP address itself. The legal basis is my statutory duty to document consent under the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act, in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
After a purchase I set a signed cookie so you don’t need to sign in again on every visit to your library. This cookie is strictly necessary for the service you requested. It serves no other purpose and lasts seven days. Under § 165(3) of the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021, no consent is required for strictly necessary storage on your device, though you are informed about it. The legal basis for the processing is performance of the contract under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
For internal access I set a login cookie. It is used exclusively for operating the site and is never created for visitors to the website. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in secure operation under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Confirmations, access emails, invoices and other transactional emails are sent through the provider Brevo. The legal basis is performance of the contract under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Your data is shared with service providers who work for me and are bound by my instructions. These are hosting and IT operations, payment processing, email delivery and, once printed editions are shipped, print and shipping providers. Data processing agreements under Art. 28 GDPR are in place with all of them. I pass nothing on to advertising networks or analytics services. I disclose data to authorities only where legally required.
Some service providers use sub-processors outside the European Union. Where data is transferred to a third country as a result, the transfer relies on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR. I will send you a copy of these safeguards on request.
Your digital edition is personalised to you and carries a license marking, distributed across the whole book rather than at a single point. It serves licensing and, in the case of unauthorised sharing, attribution. This marking contains no personal data, neither your name nor your email address. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in protecting my work under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
This website uses no analytics or advertising tools and builds no visitor profiles. Fonts are served locally, so no connection to Google is made at runtime. No automated decision-making, including profiling under Art. 22 GDPR, takes place.
For a purchase I need your email address and, for printed editions, your delivery address. Without this information I cannot perform the contract. All further information is voluntary.
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing, as well as the right to data portability. You can object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can withdraw a given consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna.
For anything concerning your data, reach me at hello@markus-angerer.com.
